As president, Rutherford B. Hayes attempts to institute civil service reforms, declaring himself a one-term president who would not be making strategic political appointments just to win reelection. By the end of Hayes' presidency, the Stalwarts led by New York Senator Conkling and their rivals the Half-Breeds threaten to split the Republican Party. Even the Republican convention in the summer of 1880 seems hopelessly deadlocked before delegates finally settle on the ticket of James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. In July of 1881, only four months after his inauguration, a deranged gunman cuts short Garfield's term and Chester A. Arthur becomes president of the United States.
