At Cincinnati on June 16 1876 the Republican convention opened balloting for president with rapid rounds. Indiana shifted votes to Hayes and Bristow while Kentucky and New York stirred excitement. On the seventh ballot Hayes led Blaine broadly with 384 votes to 351 for Blaine and 119 for Morton and others. The crowd roared as Maine’s Frye praised Hayes and Maine pledged support. The day ended with tensions over rules and cries of party unity giving way to protracted wrangling as Blaine supporters pressed for the nomination while rivals sought coalitions. The platform praised past Republican feats and warned against losing power while treasury funds remained.
