Rutherford B. Hayes, the lawyer from Cincinnati, won a seat in the House of Representatives even though he did not campaign because he was busy serving as an officer during the Civil War. Next he became Governor of Ohio for three consecutive terms, before running for President. After a controversial election, President Hayes was credited for financial conservatism and moderate reform. Following his one term, between 1877 and 1881, he retired to his home at Spiegel Grove.
