We do not intend to reheot on any
of the distinguished men whose
names are before you, while invit>
ing your attention to the reasons
which, TO Us, seem to warrant the
nomination Of President Artu ur.
They are as follows:
President Arthur who came to
the Office under mos tryl G eircum-
stances, and when his party was di>
vided into warning factions, has dis
charged the duties of his position
with tact AID sound judgment, and
has restored harmony to his party,
while faithfully serving his country.
He has regarded the public voice in
the demand for an improved civil
iservics thus giving practical
evidence to the country that the
republican party is faithful
to the principle involved, sffordiDg
striking contrast to the corIsc of
the Democratic party, which re-
tired to private life its one public
man who expounded this principle
OF reform. He has appointed to
high Offices the men best qualified
by experience, character and talent,
the country afforded. He has kept
| in view the best interests ef the
country and advocated no policy
calculated to disturb commercial or
business affairs, and at the same
time has commanded the respect Of
foreign nations by a dignifed, con-
sistent and straig htforward course.
He has favored reduction
In taxation and secured in
all of the departments economy in
in expenditures. 10 word he has
given to the country wise, conser-
vativa and pure administration
which has com manded the respect
of the country and the unanimous
approval of the republican party az
expressed in the State conventions.
| Let as invite your attention TO some
of these, as they state the whole
case go clearly and forcibly:' (Hers

State platforms.) The address con-
ciude3 as follows: "The unsnimity
exhibited is remarkable in political
history, and is the highest testimony
TO the fitness of Chester A. Arthur
for The executive Office which he
now fills. Does not prudence de.

stances and party necessity recon-
mend his nomination
