The President.

Probably the worst feeling man in the
United States to-day is Pre- ident Chester
Allan Arthur. If he is not. he certainly
ought to be. Hedescended from his lofty
=. r., ~ and exalted position to practice the arts
silN<t of the pot house politician and boss. in
Eso-y which he has long had the reputation
"a of being well versed. He laid aside his
public duties and disgraced himself, his
high office and the American people, by
1rnlngling freely with some of the most
notorious '.bummers'' and s'heelers'
who are known in New York as '.prac-
IN ficar, politicians. and who 'hafe Ysuc-i
~ceedea, within comparatively short
space of time, in making the Republic

wish him well in any effort he may
make in this direction, but knowing the
