This man earned a Vice Presidential nomination after Indiana senator Benjamin Shively downplayed his interest. As Assistant Postmaster General, he conducted an 1885 purge of Republicans. If an operation to replace the sitting president's upper jaw due to mouth cancer had gone sour, this man would have become president. In 1900, Minnesotan Charles Towne was nominated for Vice President on the Populist ticket with William Jennings Bryan, but the Democrats nominated this man as Bryan's VP candidate. He was thus the first man to serve as VP and be nominated for VP with a different running mate. For 10 points, name this VP during Grover Cleveland's second term, an Illinois governor and grandfather of a same-named "egghead" who lost to Dwight Eisenhower twice.
