III which the foregoing figures We're arrived AT
was by taking the average expression Of each

THE FEELING ABOUT ARTHUR.
| Many of the replies received from Illinois
| hepuphcanS are exceedingly NoIumlnous. each
seeming to have great quantity of advice to
bestow upon Mr.. Logan and Mr.. Arthur. The
general opinion OF the President and his admin
lstratlon is favorable. In Ohio the general
teellnS regarding Mt. Arthur Is not As favorable
as IN Indiana and Illinois, though nearly all say
| they are contented with his administration.
| There Is noticeable in the replies, however, a
| disposition to bring up the Arthur of the win
| ter and spring of lSSl and the general opinion
| Is that his nomination would be a mistake
