Charles S. Gleed sends an article from the Kansas City Journal about the mistake the Republicans made in not nominating President Chester Alan Arthur in 1884, thereby losing the election to Grover Cleveland. He notes that this article is being circulated widely throughout the West, presumably to encourage the Republican Party to nominate President Roosevelt.
