McDade has a long explanation of the crime, noting Guiteau's insanity and his ties to the Conkling branch of the Republican Party. When Garfield, an opponent of the Conkling faction, received the Republican presidential nomination and won the election, Guiteau thought he could improve his career chances by killing Garfield and thus paving the way for vice president Chester Arthur, an ally of Conkling, to step up to the presidency.
