Tho republicans will probably nominate
Arthur as their candidate, for they have no
other man of any prominence on whom they
can unite with any show Of 5uccess.-MarlJorO'
Times.
A full column of tho resolutions upon the
present administration passed by each repub-
lican convention was read ut tho New York
meeting. They all show that President
Arthur's management of national affairs
merits high praise Philadelphia Press.
The talk about Arthur as q safe" man sim
ply means that Blaine would be u dangerous
one as president. Tho gain for Arthur means
increased apprehension of Blaine. Arthur il
safer than Blaine, but no safer than Ed.
munds, Sherman, or Gresham, or n dozen
others who would be stronger candidates.

lie Cnn Curry Now York.

Tho opposition to President Arthur is
based wholly and solely upon tho empty
assertion that he cannot carry New York.
The facts arc all tho other way. There is
every reason for believing that the President
can carry his own state. Ho is certainly
stronger there than any other man who can
DO named by the national convention. If
he canuo t carry the state no republican can.
lie is not less than $4,000, and possibly 10000
votes stronger than his party in Now York.
lie will come into tho city with the full
republican vote of tho state, and his worst
enemies admit that his following in tho city
is more powerful than that of any other man
of tho republican faith.
No other man whose name has boon men
toned in connection with tho nomination for
president can make as good showing. No
other man can produce such results. We do
not mean to say that no other republican can
got the electoral vote of New York, but the
chances are that the contest will DO close
one in the Empire State, and the party cannot
afford to take any greater chances than it is
obliged to.
The claim that President Arthurs admin.
stration has been weak, and that the Presi-
dents strength is of the negative kind, has
been:aid aside as too puerile for further
Dotice The nation recognizes the fact that
his administration has been admirable and
| b ho
ventions in thirty-four states and eight
territories have indorsed it and
made it tho platform of tho party
for the approaching campaign. If the Arthur
administration is weak, tho republican party
is weak. The record made by the President
has been adopted by the party without dis
sent lie has won the esteem, the conf
dence, and tho respect of tho country. He is
to-day the strong man of the republican
party, and is recognized as such. He can
carry any and all states other candidates can
hope to carry, and he can get moro votes in
| New York than any other man. Any state
ment to the contrary is mere assertion hav-
ing no more substantial foundation than
l
personal opinion.
A great change in sentiment has been going
on during the past month in favor of Presi-
dent Arthur. The newspapers show it, the
tone of interviews with public men show it,
and the temper of the people is plainly
manifest. Outside of the personal organs OF
rival candidates, the press of tho country is
exceedingly complimentary in its expressions
concerning the President. Credit is cheer.
fully accorded him for the
honesty, purity, and dircctness
of his administration. The change that is
noted is not in the nature of boom. 1t is O
long delayed recognition of the faithful
services of the President of the United States
There are many good reasons why popular
judgment was slow in forming, but the YER
dict once made up its justice was acknowl.
edged by common consent, The country ha
judged the President by his record. Ho has
been weighed in the balance and not fount
wanting. Ho comes up to tho measurement
required
