IT is not against President Arthur that the delegation from his own state will be divided at Chicago. It helps prove that which was so manifest before, that he IS not in any way using the immense power his office gives him to effect his own nom ination. In the matter of his candidacy his conduct is dignifed and manly, as has been his entire course since he became president, and will be noted to his credit whether he spends the next four years m private or official life. Better be retired president with an honorable record than continued office-holder through diploma cy'' and management"
