What a Morbius Sweep! Congrats. I applaud you for making it this far into my mod. This has been in the works since like, February? Thank you for actually making it all the way here. There's no other secrets to uncover. Boy, I sure am tired. The mod tutorial will be finished, but I wanna give people time to uncover all these secrets. My next mod will probably be 2016 Democratic Primaries, if the primary feature ever gets finished. But I think I'll give myself a short break. Hopefully there's enough replayability in this mod. This is my best mod so far for sure, not to diss on 1936 or 1936b. Hopefully it wasn't too difficult, or too easy. Oh, and by the way, if you haven't realized, repeat these steps on Hayes' side for his own bonuses!
"; } else if (quickstats[0] < 3) { return "Oh goodness. This is certainly not what anyone ever expected. You were the slight favorite to win this. How did you not only lose, but not even win any states? How did you lose the south? Alabama? Georgia? Arkansas? These states were never going to Hayes, so clearly you did something to cause them to bolt. Clearly, your brutal loss has brought solid control of Congress to the Republicans, along with returns showing that local elections, even in the South, are going to the Republicans. With a mandate this large, Reconstruction may be able to continue, with Democrats out of some key local offices in the south.
Your political career is over, especially with a loss this bad. Forget about renomination, let alone a Congressional run. You will retire, which is likely what you desire anyway. You will be the scapegoat among many vicious Democrats in the south who desired to redeem the former Confederacy. May your future be bright, Governor Tilden.

The excited convention that nominated you didn't seem to translate to an electoral win. In fact, it seems you haven't performed well at all. Democrats, who saw you as a shoe-in after the corruption of Grant, are frustrated that you managed to lose an election like this, especially this badly. Hayes now has the chance to give the Republican Party a fresh start with the American people, and hopefully implement similar reforms that you have promised. Republicans have held control of the United States Senate, now with a larger majority. Even worse, it seems that with Hayes' win, Republicans have won control of the House of Representatives!
As you are still quite popular in New York, you still have some options for a political future there. You could re-run for Governor, or try a House or Senate bid. However, given a loss this bad, renomination in 4 years is out of the question. Most likely, however, you will choose to retire. May your future be bright, Governor Tilden.

While it may have been close, neither side seems to doubt your victory. You will be the first Democrat elected to the White House since James Buchanan in 1856, exactly 20 years ago. Democrats will retain their control over the House of Representatives, whereas the Senate seems to be held by Republicans very narrowly.
Where you go from here is up to you. You could likely pass much of your reform-minded policies with support from reformist Republicans. You also are expected to end Reconstruction as soon as possible. However, the Republican Senate might make this a challenge for you. If you can pass civil service and other reforms, winning re-election in 1880 will be no trouble at all. Best of luck, President-elect Tilden!

Democrats around the nation rejoice, as the party returns to the White House with an elected mandate for the first time since the 1850s. The road ahead is a tough one, as you are faced with cleaning up the corruption and pulling the nation out of this economic slump. The coattails from your win has padded out the Democratic majority in House of Representatives, and easily secured a Democratic majority in the Senate.
The road ahead is a tough one, as you are faced with cleaning up the corruption and pulling the nation out of this economic slump. With such a large majority, securing these changes will be a breeze. If you can pass civil service and other reforms, winning re-election in 1880 will be no trouble at all, and you can set the Democratic Party up for years of future electoal success, finally moving past the Civil War.
