Civil War generals who ran for president?

The first statue is Civil War general Winfield Scott.

I'm pretty sure the second one is James Garfield, so the 1880 presidential election?

I thought the second statue was of either Grant or Jackson but both of those are honored on horseback.

7 Winfield Scott Hancock (failed 1880 presidential candidate) was named after Winfield Scott, longtime U.S. general.

Holy... it was right in front of me. Garfield (statue below) defeated Hancock (statue above) in the 1880 election. Hancock would die a few years later but he outlived Garfield.

If you get a chance, can you find out how a bill becomes a law?
