Candidature.
1861. Mr. Opdike, by the brilliant canvass made under his candidacy, carried the party.—N.Y. Tribune, Nov. 22 (Bartlett).
1864. [John C. Fremont said] In accepting the candidacy you propose to me, &c.—Daily Telegraph, June 21. (N.E.D.)
1910. Absurd as his candidacy seemed in 1880, it was soon plain that to have been the disbursing agent of offices for Cornell and for Conkling, was to have interested the rank and file in his favor.—New York Evening Post, March 7.
1910. It should, of course, always be borne in mind that the Presidential candidacy of Mr. Taft was of a wholly different kind from that of the judge on the bench seeking political office.—Id., March 28.
