 '''Rutherford Birchard Hayes'''<ref>http://bioguide.congress.gov/biosearch/biosearch1.asp</ref> was the 19th [[President of the United States of America]], serving from 1877 to 1881. Hayes, a leading Ohio Republican was nominated because Ohio was a close and large state state. Previously he served one term as governor of Ohio, and served in Congress as a [[Radical Republican]] who supported [[Reconstruction]]. He gained local fame as a general in the Civil War. He was a relatively conservative chief executive who left little mark, but exemplified the honest, hard-working party leadership of the [[Third Party System]]. He was the beneficiary of the "Compromise of 1877" that ended opposition to his election, and ended [[Reconstruction]].

 ==Presidency==
-Hayes had fewer popular votes than his opponent [[Samuel J. Tilden]], and so entered the White House with his title clouded by the disputed election of 1876. Opponents called him "His Fraudulency" and "Rutherfraud B. Hayes," but soon he began to reassert the authority of the presidency and the sarcasm faded away. Hayes promoted [[United States Civil Service Commission|Civil Service Reform]] to reduce the corruption inherent in the linkage between vote-seeking and office-holding. He named well-known reformers in high offices, and, ordering the last troops out of South Carolina and Louisiana, ended [[Reconstruction]]. He hoped to revive the Republican party in the South by persuading business-oriented conservatives (most of them ex-Whigs) to join a national party that would support their economic interests more effectively than the Democrats did. He failed because the South was polarized on race. Committed to the gold standard—the only basis, Hayes thought, of a sound currency—in 1878 he vetoed the Bland-Allison Silver Purchase bill, which called for the partial coinage of silver, but Congress passed it over his veto. He and First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes refused to serve alcoholic beverages, even at state functions; they called her "Lemonade Lucy."

His most notable achievement as President was sending down the Army to stop the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which saw labor unions riot and briefly succeed in setting up a [[communist]] government in [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]].
