Charles Guiteau (who killed James Garfield) did not have an official role in the election campaign, and Garfield did not know him. But over time, Guiteau came to believe that he was responsible for Garfield winning the presidency. As a result, Guiteau thought Garfield owed him a government job.
Guiteau wrote the president several letters requesting positions as a diplomat in Europe.

I can not understand why the author uses "positions" instead of "position" in that context.
