One event that occurred during his presidency was preceded by the Itata Incident and saw two American sailors stabbed to death in Valparaíso, and this man's election to office was aided by the Murchison Letter scandal. In addition to the (*) Baltimore Crisis, which was handled by his Secretary of State James G. Blaine, this man's presidency saw the passage of a measure that stipulated the buying of 4.5 million ounces of a certain metal each month; that bill, the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, was passed by the so-called Billion Dollar Congress along with the McKinley Tariff.
