Well it was an almost exclusive Republican age: for the twenty years after the Civil war they held the white house with one Northern civil war general after another, each election they successfully drove home the blame for all the blood shed on the Democrats for the Civil War.
The republican enjoyed a consistent backing of the veterans of the war as well as the Blacks, (wherever they could vote) backing for the party of Lincoln and emancipation.
Republican presidents dominated the White House from the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 until election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. The only two Democrats elected during that interval were former Governor Grover Cleveland of New York, who was conservative enough that Republicans were more or less content with his election, and Woodrow Wilson, elected in 1912 when the Republican Party split between incumbent President William Howard Taft and Progressive candidate Theodore Roosevelt.
Their philosophy stated, "What's good for a businessman is good for his workers."
They helped maintain protective tarifs ,tranportation growth and a Tight money supply.
Also there was large voter turnouts then 80%+, but candidate selction was a bit corrupt and tended to result in the buying of ones seat.
