Hayes, James Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur. All three were elected to one term each from the years 1876 to 1884, but none did much to earn a place in the nation’s collective memory. ‘After the “big” government ofthe Reconstruction era, many in Washington, D.C, sought to limit the role of the federal government. This was not so much about ideology as about concerns over job Security The spoils system got a makeover during the Gilded Age as leaders in both partes played the game of party patronage, much as the political machines did in large cities.

Unfortunately for him, the Republican party chose another candidate for the next election: Senator James Blaine, Blaine did not succeed in winning the election of 1884, as his image had been tarnished by his connection to the Crédit Mobilier and other scandals. Instead, Grover Cleveland became the first Democrat to take office since before the Civil War. Some accomplishments were made during in the “forgotten” administrations, such as passage of {he Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1881, which reformed the corrupt patronage system, Nolonger ould political eronyism secure government positions; all potential civil service employees had to take an exam to prove their worthiness 890-194 AGRARIAN DISCONTENT Grover Cleveland dic not win a second term in 1888, in part because of his support fora lower tariff ‘hat would benefit Southern and Wester farmers. The Republicans were able to rally the votes of Norther business owners to gain the upper hand in the Electoral College. The new president Benjamin Harrison, presided over a unified government for two years with Republicans also in control of the legislative branch.
