No. 49,.

There are no scandals, no back stairs cabinet,
no political soldiers of fortune about Wash
ington hotels boasting that they have in
fiuence with the President. l believe that
he thoroughly understands the civil service
reform principles, and intends to carry them
out. To answer your inquiry in a word, his
seems to me exceptionally
good all around.

am but one in the 55, 100000; still in the
opinion of this one-fifty -five-millionth of the
population, it would be hard in
deed to better President Arthur's admins
tration. But don't decide till you hear from
the rest.

D. L. MOODY.
Having been out OF the country most of
the time since Mr. Arthur has been Pres-
dent, have not had much opportunity of
knowing but from all l have heard while
across the ocean and since my return have
felt the highest regard for our Chief Magis-
trate.

President Arthur's administration, good
from the beginning, has constantly grown
better and going on to perfection.

HUGH HASTINGS
think can safely say that General Ar
thur has made President that has won the
confidence and respect of the American peo-
pie, and before the close of his administra-
tion that they will, if they have not already,
come to the conclusion that it would be
wiser to hold fast to that which is good than
risk an untried experiment.

JAY COOKE.
President Arthuris administration of af-
fairs has been qualified by superior judg-
ment and absence of blunders. Every detail
requiring his attention was conscienciously
attended to, and since that time he has
proven himself equel to the emergency, and
has filled his high Office wisely and with dig
nifty.
FROM ARKANSAS.
Should the same care, wisdom and fidelity
mark his course to the end think history
will place his administration among the
very best the public has been blessed with
POWELL CLAYTON.
FROM COLORADO.
| regard President Arthurs administra-
tion as success. He is broad-minded and
statesman. He has been dis.
Greet and eminently wise in his conduct,
So far as know he enjoys the confidence of
the reputable men Of both parties, and al
though he came into power through the
agency of terrible calamity, he has con-
Quoted himself so wisely and justly that even
his bitterest enemies accord him their warm
est respect.
J. B. BELFORD.
FROM INDIANA.
The course of President Arthurs admins
tration thus far not only meets my own ap-
Droval, but merits and receives the appro-
patton of the Republicans of this district,
md the more so because of the trying and
circumstances under which he
became President.
STANTON J. PEELE.
FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
am we'll satisfied that the people of Penn
ylvania are greatly pleased with the official
conduct of President Arthur since he became
he Chief Executive of the Nation. I be-
ieve the sentiment of approval of his course
S very general and not confined entirely to
he members of his own party. The Repub-
ican convention at Harrisburg of the 18th
nst. cordially indorsed his administration,
md as member of that body I can safely
ay that their action was not merely formal
,ut genuine and sincere.
FROM VERMONT
There was certainly disposition to look
oddly and critically upon all his official
lcts. l think he has fairly outlived that,
md that now there is feeling of generous
confidence in him and his administration by
he Republicans of this section of the coun-
ry. The public measures of his administra-
ion have met with their approval almost
without exception. In the matter of ap-
oointments to Office universal satisfaction
,an never be obtained In the main his Sc
ections for Office have been satisfactory.
FROM MINNESOTA.
1 consider President Arthurs administra-
ion eminently wise and statesmanlike.
NJ. WHITE.
The course of our distinguished Chief Mag
strate has from the beginning been charac-
;erized in an eminent degree by wise and
,onciliatory measures, and by straightfor-
ward, clear-sighted policy that fully illus
rates the truth that "He serves his party
pest who best serves his country"
III. B. WAKEFIELD.
The administration of President Arthur
las, in view of all the circumstances sur
success and highly satisfactory to all we'll
disposed people.
KNUTE NELSON.
WEST VIRGINIA.
The President has the confidence of our
,eople regardless of party, while Republi-
ans, with unusual unanimity, approve of
lis course and regard his administration asa.
,reat success.
N. GoFF, JR
take pleasure in saying that, considering
II the circumstances attending President
Irthur's accession to the Chief Magistracy
is administration has proven a gratifying
uccess. His executive acts have been, in
emarkable degree, prudent, wise and con-
iliatory, and few Presidents have enjoyed in
greater degree the confidence and respect
f the conservative men of all classes and
arties.
EDWARD s. LACEY
He has deserved well of the country, both
om what he has done and what he has re-
aimed from doing. While not especially
rilliant, his administration has been better
