melee lent color to the already nm
favorable impression of him in the
public mind.
When in the midst of the fight and
a losing fight, Garfield was shot. the
! American people revolted at the
thought that Arthur and the "Stal-
warts" should profit by the assassina-
lion. The public mind revolted also
at the prospect of a political boss en-
throned in the White House, with his
motley following about him.
That popular picture of Arthur, as
city politician out of the pages of
Puck, was distorted and untrue, simply
because the background was omitted
from ii. The real, the native character
of the man had been shaped in sur
roundings very different from those in
which the country found him when he
first came under its attention Born
in Vermont to Baptist minister, a
man of education and high principles,
who had come over from Ireland and
who soon afterward settled in New
York state, Arthur had grown up in
village parsonages, where the living
was plain and the thinking high.
When the great test came and he
stood silently for three months in the
shadow of the high office, Arthur found
himself, and he left petty politics and
factions behind him as he entered the
White House. The public was incred-
ulous at first, but was convinced at
