PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
wnat war be- Hss Pollcy.


There Is no denying the fact that, the
whole country, Democrats and Republi-
cans, feel great apprehensiOns as to the
policies of President Arthur's administra-
ton. He has always trained with the
Grant. Conkling element Of the Republican
marty. AMI the great majority of the peo-
pie Of the United States know hi IN only as
n creature of the Grant Conkling stalw art
ring. Lately, however, we hear better
words Of Mr.. Arthur; and there are those
who know him best who assert that he
is an honest, good man, and a man OF
splendid ability. The great popularity
Of the dead President, by comparison
prejudices the public mind against Ar
thur. The whole country had learned to
look upon Garfield as liberal, good man,
and this was true of the Southern States
in particular. Per contra, the South, has
learned to look upon Vice President Ar
thurs fight against Garfield Administra-
ton as in some way inimical TO Garfelds
known liberal views.
Arthur's ciose alliance and long political
fellowship with the Grant Conkling fac
ton, makes it reasonably certain that
sooner or later, he will place his own
faction in power, and give the old Gar
.6ield leaders the bounce. From party
stand point it makes little diTeranee to
the Democrats. CARRIED, would have
givenus strict Republican administration
and that is all that Arthur can do. The
Democrats are SO nearly equal in strength
to the Republicans in both Houses of Con-
gress that nothing extreme can be accom-
plished If attempted. Arthur win be lib.
eral the first few months; but in the end
he viii put his faction in.
