President Arthur's Visit-staIyvart Lead CTS to be Impressed With Their Duty to the Republican Party.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-President Arthur's visit to New York has occasioned some con- ment and various stories have been circulated in connection herewith. It has been said among other things that he had come for the purpose of voting at the election next Tues day. As he is not registered and cannot vote the absurdity of this story will be apparent.
 Another reason given has pretty nearly the whole truth contained in it. This ascribes to
 General Arthur desire to personally illus trate the principle that he has always insist
 ed was the best one in active politics, namely that oficeholders owe to their party double duty, one of activity as a citizen, the other
 of activity as partisan. Tho President has never taken pains to conceal his contempt for
 that class of Republicans who having secured
 some position by reason of their connection
 with the dominant party, at once selfshly ab-
 solve themselves from all obligations to that
 party and endeavor to create system of en-
 dorsement under the name of reform. He
 has always maintained that no man has
 moral right to support party unless he be- heves that the public good needs that party's success, and that in that faith 1t is his duty to do all in his power to aid his party. He is willing to emphasize this doctrine even
 while occupying the Presidency by coming to New York and personally doing all in his power to secure the success of the ticket of theHparty that made him President
 It may be stated positively that one great reason why General Arthur has come to this city at the present time is that the State ticket at present needs fis help and he has come to give it. There can be no doubt that

Not a sin gle prominent Conkling man, Cornell man or T. c. Platt man has yet either shown any ac- tive interest in the State committees work, contributed any money, or advised any con which have so long been under their control President Arthur has been informed of all this by the State committee and has come to New York for the express purpose of bringing these stalwarts to terms. It is believed he will succeed, although he will meet with some determined opposition from some of the Conkling men. who stoutly object to having the party in New York suc- ceed without their help and to the conse- quent loss of prestige which would ensue to them. Ex-Senator Conkling, anticipating the Presidents visit, hastened from Utica and secured rooms day in advance of his arrival at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. AS soon as the President reached the hotel and had secured refreshment an interview between him and Conkling ensued In this the President insisted on the morality and necessity of the party's success in the State this year and said that any negligence on the part of any lead CTS he was determined to have remembered in proper and effective way. It is said Conkling protested against the Presidents policy in many ways without any effect. General Arthur plainly told him the Repub- lican party was too grand an organization for personal uses and said ':the party which elected the President could not be used to work out the revenges of Senator's
 Very numerous but brief were the calls made upon President Arthur to-day. Early this morning the President called upon ex- Senator Conking, who is still suffering from malaria at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Ex- Secretary Windom was present during the in- terview, but the ex-Senator gave orders that no other visitors should be permitted to see him. Senator Sherman was at the hotel, but did not call on the President or Mr. Conk- ling.
