Columbus Consul: Thomas Bayard(1884-1888)
Sargent's Began this Presidental Term Establishing the postion of the Columbus Consul. Thomas Bayard was appointed to this postion and began it by writing to the govenrors Generals of the Confederacy and New England.
Sargent Pushed Strongly for More Civil Service Reform but Stuggled with a Split Congress for the first two years. Sargent also pushed for Women's Rights but failed to achieve any thing in this regard.
Sargent was a supporter of silver and pushed Eastern Republicans into supporting his postion while in exchange rarely using his veto against them.
Sargent was also hesitant during his term to lower tarrifs.
Sargent like Garfield favoured intervention in regards to the South after Unsuccessfully attempting to purchase Arkansas from the south and reclaim Massachusetts from New England. This Idealistic Postions caused Sargent to lose support as a non intervention wing in the Republican Party grew.
Chester Arthur's Death and John Logan's in 1886. Left a Ailing Sargnet without a Successor. The 16th Admendamant allowed the Supreme Court to hold a secret ballot to elect a Cabinet Member President in Waiting. Only the Consul could see these results and tell the court whether a Cabinet Member Had a Majority.
Following Sargent's death in '87, making him the 4th to die in office, 3rd of natural causes and 2nd in a row(He succeded Garfield on his Death). Robert Todd Lincoln ascended to the Nations Highest Office. How fitting that after 28 years of Republican Rule. It Starts with his father and now has gone full Circle.(Abraham Lincoln died in 1875)
R.T.L established the Department of Agriculture and appointed two Supreme court justices. Melville Fuller was appointed Chief Justice and as a Olive Branch to United Following the Death of Benjamin Brewster. R.T.L appointed Jacob Van Riper from Michigan to the seat(Riper is Considered a Moderate at Best)
Robert Todd Lincoln hopes to Continue the 28 Year Streak of Republican Rule However has Pushed the Party tolds Non Intervention Roots, Controversially has Selected his Running Mate John White the Tresuary Secretary. Some Republicans Cry Out saying its the Conventions Place some even Giving him the Moniker "Robert II"
