Rutherford, a Puritan, held strong moral standards and attempted to run the country by the same standards and beliefs. He fought for racial equality and attempted to outlaw using the spoils system for the appointment of federal positions. Chester A. Arthur, who would eventually become America’s 21st President, refused to abide by the merit system for federal appointees and was removed from his office as Collector of the Port of New York on account of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the first issues Rutherford dealt with in his presidency was the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which spread from state to state after wages were cut and workers refused to work on the railroads. Hayes sent out federal troops to end the strike, and this act was the first time federal troops were used to end a strike.<\/p>\n
