HISTORY BUILDERS.
The President Who United His Party.
Written kN'-,-'y fT Tie Washington Herald.
BY DIR. r.. J. EDN ARDS.

Three or four weeks before the Re-
puF liran national convention of 1874 met.
an ARRANGEMENT was made with rresi-
dent Arthur for me to spend an evening
with him when he would review for me
for publication. what he regarded as the
chief events in his administration. The
arrangement was mad" by President
Arthur'S friend. Of many wears. Col
George Bliss. Both Arthur and Bliss were
members of tn" STAFF Of the war gov
crnor Of New York. r. II. Morgan. and
it was that service that they gained their
military titles. The friendship which was
established between Col. Bliss and Presi-
dent Arthur Was both personal and po-
litical. 1t was a loyal friendship and one
characterized by the willingness Of each
to give confidence to the other.
\ few hours before my meeting with
President Arthur | chatted an hour or
two with Col. Bliss in the reading room
Of the old Arlington Hotel at Washington.
Col Bliss was in a reminiscent and re-
Elective mood. H." said that President
Arthur would have to wait until a new
generation came upon the field before
there could be good understanding Of
what he accomplished.
His chief triumph said Col. Bliss.
lies in the fact that the Republican
party has been substantially reunited
during his administration and this is due
to Arthur's rare qualities as an expert
politician.
Il often wonder how the Republican
party managed to win in 1850. No one
is a greater admirCr of President Hayes
than ], yet | think Notwithstanding an
impression which prevailed that Hayes
was very clever politician the contrary
was the case. | think he Numbered In
two or three instances and | don't now
refer to his removal of Gen. Arthur from
the colleCtorship of New York City, al
though there is no question but that was
a blunder. and Hayes must have thought
of it many times after Arthur went to
the White House as President. Hayes
could have done two things which would
have greatly strengthened the party and
himself, but he refused to do either OF
them.
There had been a good deal of trouble
in Maine and it had created some 1eal-
Ousies which in part explained the Demo-
cratic triumphs in that State in the latter
half of Hayes administration. These
jeaIousies would have been removed II
Hayes had listened to suggestion made
him by James q. Blaine. If Hayes had
appointed William p. Frye. then member
of the House. to his Cabinet as Blaine
recommended and. in fact, urged Hayes
to do. 1t is almost certain that the Re-
publican aisaffection in Maine could have
been avoided. Hayes declined to offer
Frye Cabinet place.
Then, again, the Republican party

The ApOtheOsis Of the Chessman.

1t is n gratifying thing to learn
that the chess players have come to
their rights at last. The opening OF
the Chess Masters tournament at the
Manhattan Chess Club is to be pub
lished TO the country In the regular
news service upon the screens.
Though even the uninitiated have
heard that there are moves in chess,
10 an onlooker unacquainted with the
mysteries of the game there seems 70
be anything but motion. The only
examples of mystic manTuvres in
''black and white heretofore shown
in motion pictures have been puCiltstic
encounters at Reno and elsewhere
AS the battle at Havana cannot he
shown in this country. perhaps pa
irons Of the ''movies" may accept this
novelty as II substitute. Even mem
bers Of the peace societies may look
upon this war of the enbattled chess
men without a sh,rider.
