thur maintain that he died Of bro
ken heart. They 1irnfs believe that
the real cause of his disease and his
consequent death was disappoint-
ment arising from the feeling that
his party had been ungrateful TO
him. One of his most intimate
friends is reported as saying, imme-
diately after the funeral: Mr.. Ar
thur wanted the nomination in 1884.
He expected it. He had taken the
Presidency at most trying time,
and had acquitted himself well. He
thought that he ought to receive the
same endorsement at the hands of
his party which Garfield would un-
douhtedly have received had he liv-
cd. When The convention nomi-
mated Blaine instead, Arthur re-
ceiyed his death blow. On the day
when Grover Cleveland was inaug-
rrated, and he had to leave the
White House, he was very sorrowiul
and his eyes were full of tears That
was the time at which he broke
down, no matter what the doctors
say, and it was then that his illness
began to prey upon him." TO what
Cegree this may be true will never
be known; hnt il, to the many tor
tnres of mind and body to which the
noble Arthur was subjected, this
keenest and bitterest of political dis
appointment was added, it is hardly,
perhaps, to be wondered at that, in
his moments of deep dcspondency,
he sometimes felt rs if he might as
well give up his painful struggle foi
