This article is about a presidential election in the United States. By the popular vote, it was the closest in American history, but by the electoral vote (the one that actually determines the election) the Republican, James A. Garfield, was elected by a comfortable majority. The election was the first after the end of Reconstruction, and reflected what would become a pattern in the U.S. for a generation: the Democrats dominating the South, the Republicans holding most of the North, and a few close states (New York, Indiana, and New Jersey, among others) determining victory. Some of the issues, like immigration, continue to be debated in our own time. Others, like the tariff and the gold standard, have faded from the political scene. I hope you'll find it interesting. -- Coemgenus ( talk) 13:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Nicely done, just my usual nitpicks.
Support now! As a minor political junkie, I was happy to stumble from my FAC to here.
All in all a good read! ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 16:50, 13 September 2015 (UTC) reply
