Why General McDowell Was Hot About a Garfield Vote
The Washington Post reports General McDowell, once praised as a patriot and soldier, may have voted for Garfield Arthur while traveling from San Francisco to New York at government expense. The trip's mileage and allowances led to controversy, with McDowell retaining status while General Ord retired. A letter to President Hayes defended his East visit, citing sacrifice for Garfield. The episode hints at presidential influence in retirements and an odd twist involving Irwin McDowell Garfield as a namesake.
