The Presidents Policy.
New YoRx, May 26.-The Times
says of recent appointments: Ii the
President imagines that to stand well
with the country, it is necessar, to
appear as author Of my policy" OF
champion of "my party" we think
he has made grievous blunder. Il
his policy is to consist in turning
one set OF men out of his Office and
putting another III, merely to satisfy
demands of his personal adherents:
if his party is to consist solely OF
Arthur as distinguished from those
who are only Republicans, then he
will show that the blunder OF his pre-
decessors who reached the Chief Nag
istracy by the vice-presidental sue
cession have yielded him neither III
struction nor warning.
