tration has proved to be much better than
we anticipated. While he is not the style
of man we would have chosen, we have
no disposition to find fault with him. In
short, we are agreeably disappointed in
him, and should he continfe thus to the
end, his administration must certainly be
classed among the best in the history of
the country. We think it might be i'm
proved little by m undermining the attorney

THE EX-DELEGATES.
Dear Sir: The public sentiment of the
country, which at first regarded President
Arthur's administration with degree of
suspicion amounting almost to repugnance
and in most cases only admitted it merits
after prolonged process of mental siege,
sppears at length to be awakening to
calm consciousness that there is something
decidedly good in the man after all. The
quiet conservatism with which he has en-
couraged timely reforms in civil admins
tration, the frmness with which he has
maintained his own views on important
public questions in the face of a hostile
majority in congress, the freedom from
corruption and scandal which has marked
the public service since his advent to pow
or, and the even temper, good judgment.
and digniied and impartial bearing which
he has constantly manifested in dealing
with the disturbing tactionists of his own
party-these are among the acts and cir
cumstances of his administration which,
under most peculiarly adverse conditions,
have gradually won for President Arthur
the confidence of the country, and which,
supposing a like course to be pursued
hereafter, will insure for him an enviable
as we'll as honorable place in our political
| history. d. SINCLAIR.

Dear Sir: My father, Mr.. E. T. Drake,
is at present in Europe, but knowing his
views, would say for him that, although
not one Of Mr.. ArJhur's warmest support
ers 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 tbs past
two years, showing himself worthy of the
peoples confidence as chief magistrate OF
the nation. A. M. DRAKE.

THE CONGREssMEN.
Dear sir: I consider President Arthur;
administration eminentIy wise and states
manlike. N. WHITE.
Chatheld, Mimi, Aug l, 1888.
Dear sir: The course of our distin
| guished chief magistrate has from the be-
ginning been characterized in an eminent
degree by wise and oonciliatory measures
and by straightforward, clear-sighted
policy that fully illustrates the truth thai
He serves his party best who best serve:
his country" J. B. WAKEFIELD.
Blue Earth City, MINI. Aug. 1, 1888.
| Dear Sir: The administration of Presi
dent Arthur has, in view of all the circum-
stances surrounding its commencement
been great success and highly satisfac
tory to all well-disposed people. There
hasl been nothing sensational or merely
brilliant in it, but it, has been decorous
solid and conservative. In these "piping
times of peace" demagogues alone delight
in the mere sensational. Mr.. Arthur ha!
not only made good executive, but mos
excellent party chief. He has, to very
large extent, been instrumental in allayine
the bitterness and strife between the SO
called half-breeds and staIwarts.
