In this responsible position his attainments, his long experience in public affairs and his untiring industry were of immense service to Arthur's administration. The deceased statesman was born of a distinguished family, and the strict integrity of his public and private life is in illustration of the old tradition that noblesse oblige.

An outright sale is generally opposed, but its advocates claim that it is gaining ground. In the Cherokee nation there is a great diversity of opinion.

A communication signed by many leading Cherokees has been sent to President Cleveland asking that he defer sending a special committee to negotiate for the purchase to the Territory until after the election of a new legislature in August, so that the measure may be brought before the people and deliberated upon during the campaign. Although it is not a decided stand, yet it is the ground taken by the leaders of five tribes who must unite on a decision. The opinion prevails that Bushy Head, the principal chief of the Cherokees, and J. M. Perriman, chief of the Creeks, favor a sale.
