| From the Philadelphia North American.
The sober sense Of the country is
beginning to make itself apparent as Il
factor in the decision of the result of
the approaching Republican Conven-
ton, and the wild hurrah of the active
canvass for delegates who might give
voice to 4 popular clamor for this or
that favorite is being replaced by some
serious reflections as to the future OF |
! the country rather than as to the Sill |
premacy of individuals 1t is well that it |
should be so. and that those who have
SO much at stake in maintaining the |
peace and prosperity of the nation
should indicate as clearly as possible to
those who claim to be their Spokesman
in the representative bodies of the
party that no countenance is to be eN-
pected for schemes Of personal ages ran
dizement that may lecxi,u The Countr,
into unn1-ccesSdrv disturbance. or TO
Il the petty yanities Of tn ,orsts who arr
y always CRYING for something already a

=, The business men of the CniteC
: States have SO great 4 stake in the
lie choice of the Chicago Convention il
y June that they cannot afford to let tho
ST result be reached by lottery or by bun
combe, and they who are to compose
that convention should listen with def:
" erenCe and respect to those without
whose substantial support no campaign
e can easily be carried to a successful
X issue. The NORTH AMERICAN has
taken pains to aCquaint itself with the
, opinions of so much Of this class as il
r has been able to reach, and the con
|, stituency for which it speaks is so
d nearly unanimous that it must repre-
q sent almost the entire body in urging
." that it is the time to decide honestly
r. and positively that the denomination
of President Arthur would be the wisesi
1t and the most intelligent action that the
1t Republican party could take.
i When Mr.. Arthur, by a calamity SO
&c deplorable that it can only be referred
:, to with grief, succeeded Mr. Garfield
* in the executive office, he was known
in person and in character to but a
k limited number of people outside Of
n the State of New York, where he had
" for many years held an active and con
IS spicuous place in local public affairs
1t was not unnatural. therefore, and es-
peCially because Of the offensive habit
h of New York journalism to use eXtrava-
, CANT terms in abuse of all that it does
= not wish to commend. that there
; should have been some mlSgivIng as to
the nature of the administration that
: was to follow, and the NORTH AMERICAN
- is not torgetful that some of its most

PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S BOOM.
The Business Men of New York Actively at
Work-A Great Meeting to BE Held
in That CITY.

The almost universal support of Prcsi-
dent Arthur for denomination by the
business men of New York has been a
matter of public interest for some time
past, and has finally taken shape in the
following request issued on Tuesday last
New YORK CITY, May IS, 1884.

GENrLEMEN-The undersigned respect
fully request you to act as IA commi,te
to designate a time and place at which
| the fellow citizens of President Arthur
may express their approval of his admin
| istration and their wish that he may be
nominated for President at the Republi-
can National Convention. 1t is believed
that this is the widespread feeling among
those who manage and control the great
business interests which centre here, and
involve the prosperity of the whole coun-
try. 1t is fair that such sentiment should
find means of public expression both for
the welfare of the country and justice to
good President.
This request was signed by some 500
persons and leading firms, repres entins
every business in the city. Among the
prominent firms signing the request are
II. Il. ClatIin & Co., f s. JaGley & Co.,
Bates, Reed 4 Coley, Garner Is Co..
Lewis Bros. Il Co., Bliss. Faybairn &
Co., +. Il II. Perkins, Samuel Sloan.
William Dowd Frederick, 5 Wilson Mar
vele, W. Cooper and George ID. Senay.
In response to this request Mr.. John
Jacob Astor and his associates have called
the meeting for Tuesday, May 20, at the
| Cooper Institute. Frederick :. WinSlow
president of the Mutual Life Insurance
| Company, has been selected for the chair
man of the meeting. Henry Ward Beechel
will nc the principal speaker. The other
| speakers will be Edward II. Amidown,
| Benjamin III. Bristow. Charles II. Smith
and ]. II. IIerrick. With the exception
of Mr.. Beecher aEl Mr.. Brstow all the
| speakers will be strictly business men.
The managers say that they intend to
make this the greatest meeting ever held
in this city.
Assurances have already been received
from sufficient number of business men
which show that the hall will not be able
to contain half of the solid element which
has promised to attend.
| The next meeting in the series which
was contemplated in the movement. will
be held in Boston, probably ON Thurs
day, the 23d instant. 1t is said that the
preliminaries fer that meeting have al
ready been arranged, and that there is
no doubt of this taking place at or near
| the date named.
The managers hope t" have similar
meetings held in Chicago, Philadelphia.
Buffalo. Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati
and st. Louis on the 9th and 2Sth OF
