In 1880, former president Ulysses S. Grant attempted to gain the nomination of his party of a non-consecutive third term; however, the convention eventually nominated James A. Garfield, the campaign manager of James Sherman (who was also running for the nomination), as a compromise candidate after two dramatic moments by him in the convention.
If, however, Garfield stays out of the Convention, and does not support any candidate... what happens then? Does Grant get it? James G. Blaine? Sherman?
(I will also note that Samuel Tilden did not withdraw his name from consideration by the Democratic National Convention until just before it convened, which was some weeks after the RNC... so, would this also factor into the general?)
I leave it to you.
