HE public anxiety for Garfield
through his long battle with
death was deepened by a general dread
OF the vice presidents succeeding to
the presidency. The people as a whole
knew nothing of Chester Alan Arthur.
except that he had been only lately
removed from the collectorship of the
port of New York as a machine pol
itician, and that he had been nomi-
mated for the vice presidency as a
henchman of Roscoe Conkling.
After Arthur had been sitting in the
vice presidents chair only a little
more than two weeks, he opened a big
White House envelope one day and
flushed as he glanced at the unexpect-
ed contents-the nomination of a hated
"Half-Breed" to the collectorship of
the port of New York. With an ex-
cited gesture, he summoned Senators
Conkling and Plat, and the three
"Stalwarts" famed up with rage at
the challenge to them from the new
administration. When the New York
senators resigned thir seats and ap-
pealed to the legislature of their state
TO re-elect them as a protest against
the administration, the spectacle of
the vice president descending to that
