The Possible President.
NEW YORK. Aug 1.-The Herald as
serts confidently that if Arthur should
become President he will make no
changes in the administration; will
make no removals from Office at large
except for cause: will attempt no
change Ia policy or in the personnel Of
the present administration. and Is
equally certain that members Of the
present cabinet and some other import
ant officers of the Government. may
offer ,heir designations. Arthur will at
once ask them 10 continue in Office and
1t will be their highest daty to the
country 10 do 90. There will be no
cabinet changes. There will be no new
policies attempted. but the country will
go on and the public business will go
on just as before.
