we lament the death of Pres.
ident Garfield, whose sound
craftsmanship, long conspicuous in
congress, gave promise of a strong and
successful admin istration promise
fully realized during the short period
of his office as president OF the United
States. His distinguished success in
war and peace has endeared him to the
hearts of the American people.
In the administration of President
Arthur we recognize wise, conserva.
tive and patriotic policy, under which
the country has been blessed with
remarkable prosperity, and we believ,
his eminent services are entitled to an,
