When he got there Garfield was angry with himself for not preparing the speech before he got there. He ended up giving a speech that was so powerfully and eloquently delivered that the convention hall fell dead silent. At the end of the speech he asked, “And now gentlemen of the Convention [...] I ask you, what do we want?” (Millard 45). Someone shouted, “We want Garfield!” (Millard 45), and the hall was filled with cheers. Garfield had no intention of ever running for president, but it was no use. When the votes for Grant and Blaine stayed at a deadlock for numerous ballots, people began voting for Garfield as a compromise nominee. By the end of the Convention, Garfield was the Republican candidate for the …show more content…
He shot him twice. The first bullet only grazed his arm, but the second went into his back. It missed his spinal cord and all vital organs so it was not a lethal wound. It did, however, became a lethal wound as soon as doctor after doctor stuck a finger in the wound to probe it. Without any authority to do so, one doctor, Dr. Bliss assumed control of Garfield’s medical care shooing away all the others. He did this because he believed if he could save Garfield, he would become famous and rich. The only problem was that he practiced the most traditional and dangerous medical practice. He avoided antisepsis (which could have saved Garfield’s life) and embraced the “good old surgical stink” which was the encrusted blood and pus on the surgical apron that was never washed which was a sign of
Good morning fellow students I am the head of construction and I will be talking about the Wynnem road upgrades. This is going to be effecting a vast amount of people all across Brisbane. This means the government will be buying and demolishing homes as soon as they come on sale. I strongly believe that the widening of Wynnem road should go ahead. The barricades have been put on and the plans have been reveled after first thought of upgrading in 2011. It is due to complete in 2020. The upgrade will provide interim measures to improve traffic efficiency and safety along Wynnum Road between Canning Bridge and Riding Road in Norman park.
I am here to represent Mary Harris Jones and I believe she should be admitted to the Gilded University Hall of Fame. Jones was born in Ireland, and her family immigrated to escape the potato famine. She spent her early years studying and working to become a dressmaker and teacher. Later when she moved to Memphis, she met and married George Jones, and in their first four years of marriage they had four children. But tragedy struck when yellow fever spread in 1867, which killed hundreds of people including her husband and her four small children. She believed that with the support she received from the people of the union, her life was saved from sadness and depression following the death of her family. After losing her entire family, she decided
I wanted to make sure that you all are aware that Barbara McIlwain has reached her limited number of hours she can work for this week. That being said she will only be able to work her scheduled shifts for today 11/11 & Saturday 11/12 and nothing more. Barbara is good at signing up last minute, so I left her a voicemail informing her the issue and I need your help to make sure that this happens between now and tomorrow night. Barbara is more than welcome to begin signing up for extra shifts starting Sunday
James Garfield was born in Orange Township, Ohio, on November 19, 1831. Garfield rose from humble beginnings to serve as a college president. And his parents were named Abram Garfield, and his mother’s name which is Eliza ballou, and he also had 2 siblings too. Garfield a nine-time congressman and military general before his election to the United States presidency in 1881. As the 20th U.S. president,
James Garfield was born on November 19, 1831, in Orange, Ohio, in a log cabin. His father died only two years after his birth, so his mother raised him along with his older siblings while still managing the family farm. During his teen years, he towed barges up the Ohio Canal in order to support his impoverished family. He was nicknamed “The Canal Boy”. He later attended the former Western Reserve Eclectic Institute,
Suddenly things started to look up for Cleveland. He became a lawyer, and was known for his remarkable concentration. Cleveland decided he wanted to become a political figure. His first job in the political government was a Sheriff in Erie county, New York. In 1881 Cleveland was convinced to run for the mayor of Buffalo, a city in New York. He ran as a reformer, he wanted to change and improve the government. Grovers reputation grew fast and he was asked to run for governor of New York as the democratic candidate. He won the election and became governor. Shortly after he began to run for the president of the United States. He ran into some bumps along the way. Cleveland's challenger, James G. Blaine, created multiple
Hello, my name is Susan Stewart. I am a member of the Wheatland High School Grad Night Committee. The committee is comprised of Volunteers who plan and facilitate the Safe and Sober Grad Night event for Wheatland High School graduates. Committee members are meeting with local community businesses and leaders like yourself, to ask if they would be interested in supporting an event aimed at keeping our local teens safe on such a celebratory night.
Mortally wounded, Garfield lay in the White House for weeks. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, tried unsuccessfully to find the bullet with an induction-balance electrical device which he had designed. On September 6, Garfield was taken to the New Jersey seaside. For a few days he seemed to be recuperating, but on September 19, 1881, he died from an infection and internal hemorrhage.
Mrs. LaToya Cantrell is the candidate for the people she has dedicated her life to serving her community and improving their quality of living for the city of New Orleans. I am supporting Mrs. Latoya Cantrell because her agenda is for the people. It is not many people that hold a sit in the government that stills listen to the concerns of the citizens. Also, try to go out their way to address those concerns. Latoya is a more of a Community leader than a Politician. As citizens, we complain about the lack of representation for all in the government. I believe that she is the candidate to help fix the city problems and contribute to bringing communities back to life. Don’t you want someone that listens and cares about your concern and take action?
God even said killing was a sin, so he was wired wrong, but never the less, on July second 1881, James Garfield was shot. One bullet nicked his arm and one went into his torso. His health was like a roller coaster, ups and downs. Sadly, the doctor’s efforts may have been more harmful than helpful. With insanitary practices, he may have made James Garfield’s condition even worse.
Garfield had served in Congress for seventeen years, but had absolutely no interest in being president. When at the Republican National Convention, he was to give a speech to nominate a candidate for the Republican nominee in the presidential race. However, the people voted for him and to his dismay, Garfield became the nominee. As Garfield had no desire to be president, he did not campaign. He did give speeches to the people who showed up to his home, but that was it. Garfield won the election and was sworn in March 4, 1881.
Did you know that it only took twenty minutes for people to die once the Nazis had forced them into a gas chamber? In that short amount of time all their hopes, dreams and achievements disappeared. Elie Wiesel believed that whenever “men and women are being persecuted because of their race, religion or political views…” then it falls on all of us, both individuals and government, to help. I agree with Wiesel that to stop future genocide and further racism, we must all come together because not only are we all human beings, but if we don't then we will never advance.
I very important person to all Star Wars fans, and a huge supporter of the movement, needs out help.

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
