Answer
After his second term as governor, Chandler's political influence began to wane. This was due in part to his controversial decision to raise taxes, which led to a backlash from the public. In addition, Chandler was seen as being too close to the railroads, which alienated many voters. As a result, Chandler was unable to win a third term as governor, and his political career began to decline.
