15-14-13: The Great Presidential Puzzle - A Historic Moment in American Politics This intriguing illustration, dated 1880, depicts Senator Roscoe Conkling, a prominent figure in the Republican Party and leader of the Stalwarts faction, engrossed in a peculiar puzzle. The puzzle, which consists of fifteen blocks, each bearing the heads of potential Republican presidential candidates, presents a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the time. The candidates represented in the puzzle include Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Samuel J. Tilden, and James G. Blaine. Conkling, with a thoughtful expression, rests his head on one hand and contemplates the puzzle, his other hand poised to move Blaine's head to the empty space in the box. The Stalwarts, a powerful political machine within the Republican Party, were known for their loyalty to President Grant and their opposition to the reformist elements within the party. The presidential primary season of 1880 was a contentious one, with several candidates vying for the nomination. The puzzle reflects the uncertainty and intrigue surrounding the outcome of the election. This illustration offers a unique perspective on the political climate of the time and the complexities of the presidential nomination process. It serves as a reminder of the importance of political alliances, party loyalty, and the role of influential figures in shaping the outcome of elections. The Great Presidential Puzzle remains an intriguing artifact of American political history.
