ADDrObatiOn for Arthur.

CHICAGO, Special Telegram. Aug. 3-The
Daily News recently sent out a circular letter
to representative men in different parts of the
country asking their judgment on President
Arthur's administration. The letters were
addressed; First, to all of the delegates to the
Chicago convention still living; second, to all
the senators and members Of congress; third,
to the presidents Of number of the leading
colleges, and, finally, to a miscellaneous COM
panv of distinguished gentlemen in the differ
ent professions.
The replies from Minnesota are as follows:
think the wise, conservative aud dignified adj
mnstraton Of President Arthur has fully met the
expectation of his friends, and commands the re-
spect and admiration of his enemies. Adherence to
this same conservative yet independent policy,
will undoubtedly, unite both wings of, the Repub-
lican PARTY and bring them to the front stronger
and more united than ever. %. M. SABIN.
President Arthurs administration has proved to
be much better than we anticipated While heis
not the style of man we would have chosen. we
have no disposition to find fault with him. iu short,
We arc agreeably disappointed in him, and should
he continue thus to the end his administration must
certainly be cassed among the best in the history
of this country. We think it might be improved
little by undertaking the attorney geueras depart
ment. u. U. JOHNS, dam'ne' MIMI.
The public sentiment of the country, which at
first regarded President Arthur's administration
with degree Of suspicion, appears at length to be
awakening to a calm consciousness that there is
something decidedly good in the man after all The
quiet conservatism with which he has encouraged
timely reforms in civil administration, the freedom
from corruption and scandal, and the even temper,
good Judgment and dignifed and impartial bearing
which be has constantly manifested in dealing With
the disturbing faction, among the acts which
have gradually won for President Arthur the con-
adence of the country. D. SINCLAIR. Winona.
Ny father, Mr.. E. F.. Drake, is at present in
Europe; but knowing his views, / would say for
him that, although not one of Mr.. Arthurs frmest
supporters at the time of the nomination., he has
since been more than pleased with the able and
discreet manner in which he has conducted public
affairs during the past two years, showing himself
worthy of the peoples confidence as chief magis-
trate Of the nation. A. M. DRAKE, St. P:ul.

has from the beginning been characterized in an
eminent degree by wise and couciliatory measures
and by straightforward, ear-sghted policy that
fully illustrates the truth that The serves his party
