'''Chester Alan Arthur''' (October 5, 1829 &ndash; November 18, 1886) was an ] who served as the ] ]. Arthur was a member of the ] and worked as a ] before becoming the ] ] under ]. While Garfield was mortally wounded by ] on July 2, 1881, he did not die until September 19, at which time Arthur was sworn in as president, serving until March 4, 1885.

Before entering elected politics, Arthur was a member of the ] faction of the Republican Party and a political protégé of ], rising to Collector of Customs for the ], a position to which he was appointed by President ]. He was then removed by the succeeding president, ], in an effort to reform the ] system in New York.

To the chagrin of the Stalwarts, the onetime Collector of the Port of New York became, as President, a champion of ] reform. He avoided old political cronies and eventually alienated his old mentor Conkling. Public pressure, heightened by the assassination of Garfield, forced an unwieldy Congress to heed the President. Arthur's primary achievement was the passage of the ]. The passage of this legislation earned Arthur the moniker "The Father of Civil Service" and a favorable reputation among historians.

Publisher Alexander K. McClure wrote, "No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted, and no one ever retired… more generally respected." Author ], deeply cynical about politicians, conceded, "It would be hard indeed to better President Arthur's administration."

==Early life and education==
Chester Alan Arthur was the son of Irish born preacher William Arthur and Vermont born Malvina Stone Arthur. Malvina's grandfather, Uriah Stone, fought for the ] during the ] and named his son, Malvina's father, George Washington Stone. Malvina's mother was part ].<ref name="reeves4">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A.

Most official references list Arthur as having been born in ] in ] on October 5, 1829. However, some time in the 1870s Arthur changed it to 1830 to make himself seem a year younger.<ref name="reeves5">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A.

If Arthur had been born in Canada, a ] is that he would not have been a ], even though his mother was a U.S. citizen, and would have been constitutionally ineligible to serve as vice president or president.<ref>per the Constitution of the United States of America, Article II, Section I, Paragraph 5 </ref> During the ] a New York attorney, Arthur P. Hinman, was hired to explore rumors of Arthur's foreign birth. Hinman alleged that Arthur was born in ] and did not come to the United States until he was fourteen years old. When that story failed to take root Hinman came forth with a new story that Arthur was born in ]. This claim also fell on deaf ears.<ref name="reeves202-203">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 202-203 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

Arthur spent some of his childhood years living in ]. One of Arthur's boyhood friends remembers Arthur's political abilities emerging at an early age:

<blockquote>When Chester was a boy, you might see him in the village street after a shower, watching the boys building a mud dam across the rivulet in the roadway. Pretty soon, he would be ordering this one to bring stones, another sticks, and others sod and mud to finish the dam; and they would all do his bidding without question. But he took good care not to get any of the dirt on his hands. (''New York Evening Post,'' April 2, 1900) </blockquote>

Chester Arthur's Presidency was predicted by James Russel Webster, a Perry resident. A detailed account of this prediction is found in a self-written memorial for Webster.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyseneca/webster.htm|title=James R. Webster|publisher=USGenWeb Project}}</ref> An excerpt from Webster's memorial:

]
<blockquote>He first attended the Baptist church in Perry, the pastor there being "Elder Arthur", father of Chester A. Arthur. The latter was then a little boy, and Mr. Webster, once calling at his house, put upon his head of the lad, remarked, "this little boy may yet be President of the United States." Years after, calling at the White House, he related the circumstances to President Arthur, who replied that he well remembered the incident although the name of the man who thus predicted his future had long since passed from his memory; then standing up he added. "You may place your hand upon my head again.</blockquote>

He went to ] at the academy in ], and then to the Lyceum, where he was known as Chet. During his time at Lyceum Arthur joined other young ] in support of ] and even participated in a melee against those opposed to Clay.<ref name="reeves8">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 8 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

Arthur attended ] in 1845 where he studied the traditional classics. As a senior there in 1848, at age 18, he was elected to ] and president of the debate society. He often donned a green coat to show his support for the ].<ref name="reeves8">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 8 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

While living outside of ], he went back to Union College and received his Master's degree in 1851.

==Early career==
Arthur became principal of North Pownal Academy in ] in 1849. He studied law and was admitted to the ] in 1854. Arthur commenced practice in ]. He was one of the attorneys who successfully represented ], whose lawsuit after being denied seating on a ] due to her race contributed to the desegregation of New York City public transportation. Arthur also took an active part in the reorganization of the state ].

During the ], Arthur served as acting ] general of the state in 1861 and was widely praised for his service. He was later commissioned as ], and appointed quartermaster general with the rank of ] and served until 1862. After the war, he resumed the practice of law in New York City. With the help of Arthur's patron and ] ], Arthur was appointed by President ] as Collector of the Port of New York from 1871 to 1878.

This was an extremely lucrative and powerful position at the time, and several of Arthur's predecessors had run afoul of the law while serving as collector. Honorable in his personal life and his public career, Arthur sided with the ]s in the Republican Party, which firmly believed in the ] even as it was coming under vehement attack from reformers. He insisted upon honest administration of the ] but nevertheless staffed it with more employees than it really needed, retaining some for their loyalty as party workers rather than for their skill as public servants.

==The 1880 election and vice presidency==
] ] kicking Arthur out of the ].]]
In 1878, Grant's successor, ], attempted to reform the Customs House. He ousted Arthur, who resumed the practice of law in New York City. Conkling and his followers tried to win back power by the nomination of Grant for a third term at the ], but without success. Grant and ] deadlocked, and after 36 ballots, the convention turned to ] ], a long time Congressman and General in the Civil War.

Knowing the election would be close, Garfield's people began asking a number of Stalwarts if they would accept the second spot. ], on Conkling's advice, refused, but Arthur accepted, telling his furious leader, "This is a higher honor than I have ever dreamt of attaining. I shall accept!"<ref>Sol Barzaman: Madmen and Geniuses; Follet Books Chicago 1974</ref> Conkling and his Stalwart supporters reluctantly accepted the nomination of Arthur as vice president.
Arthur campaigned hard for his and Garfield's election, but it was a close contest, with the Garfield-Arthur ticket receiving a nationwide plurality of fewer than ten thousand votes.

After the election, Conkling began making demands of Garfield as to appointments, and the Vice President–elect supported his longtime patron against his new boss. According to Ira Rutkow's recent biography of Garfield, the new president disliked the vice president, and he would not let him into his house.

Then, on July 2, 1881, ] was shot in the back by ], who shouted: "I am a ] of the Stalwarts... Arthur is president now!"<ref>{{cite book |title=Lives of James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur |last=Doyle |first=Burton T. |coauthors=Swaney, Homer H. |year=1881 |publisher=R.H. Darby |location=Washington |isbn=0-104-57546-8 |page=61 |url=http://www.archive.org/stream/livesofjamesa00doyle/livesofjamesa00doyle_djvu.txt }}</ref> Arthur's shock at the assassination was augmented by his mortification at Guiteau's claim of political kinship. (''Madmen and Geniuses'', Barzman, 1974) Garfield initially survived the shooting, but due to a combination of infections and the poor medical care of the time, he gradually deteriorated and died on September 19.

==Presidency 1881–1885==
===Assumption of office===
President Arthur took the oath of office twice. The first time was at his Lexington Avenue residence, when it was given just past midnight on September 20. The oath was given by ] justice ]. The second time was two days later after he returned to Washington. This time it was given in the Capitol by ] ]. This was to avoid any dispute over whether the oath was valid if given by a state official. (A similar situation later occurred with ].)

===Cabinet===
Arthur requested that Garfield's cabinet and appointees delay their resignations until Congress convened in December.<ref name="reeves254">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 254 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref> However, shortly after this request ] ] and ] ] submitted their resignations. ] recommended ] to be the new Treasury Secretary, but Arthur preferred ]. Morgan declined the offer twice, but Arthur submitted it to the Senate anyway, and Morgan was confirmed. Morgan, age 72, still refused. The cabinet position was then awarded to stalwart ] (October 27).<ref name="reeves254">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 254 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref> MacVeagh's replacement, ], another stalwart, was confirmed two months later.<ref name="reeves255">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 255 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

Although ] ] agreed to delay his resignation, he changed his mind in mid-October. Conkling felt he himself was the obvious choice to replace Blaine, but Arthur felt such ] would disgrace the presidency and selected ], another stalwart, recommended by Grant.<ref name="reeves256">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 256 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

The next to resign was ] ], whom Arthur had tried to renominate. Arthur nominated ], another stalwart and a long-time friend.<ref name="reeves257">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 257 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref> For ], Arthur nominated ], a recommendation from Blaine which gave some factional balance to the administration. Grant, who had recommended ], was upset by the Chandler pick and never fully forgave Arthur for the offense.<ref name="reeves258">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 258 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

] as ] was the only member of the Garfield cabinet to continue under Arthur.<ref name="reeves259">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf | date = 1975 | location = NY, NY | pages = 259 | isbn = 0-394-46095-2}}</ref>

===Policies===
Arthur was aware of the factions and rivalries of the Republican Party, as well as the controversies of ] versus ] reform. Entering the presidency, Arthur believed that the only way to garner the nation's approval was to be independent from both factions. Arthur was determined to go his own way once in the ]. He wound up replacing every member of Garfield's Cabinet except the Secretary of War ].

He became a man of fashion in his manner of dress and in his associates; he was often seen with the elite of ], New York City, and Newport. To the indignation of the Stalwarts, the onetime Collector of the Port of New York became, as President, a champion of civil service reform. In 1883, Congress passed the ], which established a bipartisan ] which forbade levying political assessments against officeholders and provided for a "classified system" that made certain government positions obtainable only through competitive written examinations. The system protected employees against removal for political reasons.

Acting independently of party dogma, Arthur also tried to lower ] rates so the government would not be embarrassed by annual surpluses of revenue. Congress raised about as many rates as it trimmed, but Arthur signed the Tariff Act of 1883 anyway. Aggrieved Westerners and Southerners looked to the ] for redress, and the tariff began to emerge as a major political issue between the two parties.

] by Judge ] at his home in ] after ] death, September 20, 1881.]]The Arthur Administration enacted the first general Federal ]. Arthur approved a measure in 1882 excluding ], criminals, and the mentally ill. Congress also suspended ] immigration for ten years with the ], later making the restriction permanent.

In 1884, the ] was held in ] at President Arthur's behest. This established the ] and international standardized time, both in use today.

President Arthur demonstrated that he was above not only factions within the ], but possibly the party itself. Perhaps, in part, he felt able to do this because of the well-kept secret he had known since a year after he succeeded to the Presidency, that he was suffering from ], a fatal kidney disease. This accounted for his failure to seek the Republican nomination for President aggressively in 1884.
Nevertheless, Arthur was the last incumbent President to submit his name for renomination and fail to obtain it.

Arthur sought a full term as President in ], but lost the Republican party's presidential nomination to former ] and ] ] of ]. Blaine, however, lost the general election to ] ] of ].

===Social and personal life===
]]]Arthur married ]<ref></ref> on October 25, 1859. She was the only child of Elizabeth Hansbrough and Captain ] ]. She was a favorite niece of Commander ], USN of the ] where her father had worked.

In 1860, Chester Arthur and "Nell" had a son, William Lewis Herndon Arthur, who was named after Ellen's father. This son died at age two of a brain disease. Another son, Chester Alan Arthur II, was born in 1864, and a girl, named Ellen Hansbrough Herndon after her mother, in 1871. Ellen Arthur died of ] on January 12, 1880, at the early age of 42, only twenty months before Arthur became President. Arthur stated that he would never remarry and, while in the White House, asked his sister Mary, the wife of writer John E. McElroy, to assume certain social duties and help care for his daughter. President Arthur also had a memorial to his beloved "Nell"&mdash;a stained glass window was installed in ] within view of his office and had the church light it at night so he could look at it. The memorial remains to this day.

Arthur is remembered as one of the most society-conscious presidents, earning the nickname "the Gentleman Boss" for his style of dress and courtly manner. Professor Marina Margaret Heiss at the University of Virginia lists Arthur as an example of an ] personality.<ref name="INTJ personality">{{cite web|url=http://typelogic.com/intj.html|title=INTJ personality|accessdate=2007-06-29}}</ref>

]
Upon taking office, Arthur did not move into the ] immediately. He insisted upon its redecoration and had 24 wagonloads of furniture, some including pieces dating back to ]' term, carted away and sold at public auction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.historicvermont.com/sites/html/arthur2.html |title=President Chester A. Arthur State Historic Site|publisher=Historicvermont.com |date= |accessdate=2008-09-21}}</ref> Former president ] bought two wagonloads of furniture which today are at his home ]. Arthur then commissioned ] to replace them with new pieces. A famous designer now best-known for his ], Tiffany was among the foremost designers of the day.<ref>Mitchell, Sarah E. "Louis Comfort Tiffany's work on the White House." 2003.</ref>

Arthur was a ] who belonged to the Restigouche Salmon Club and once reportedly caught an 80-pound ] off the coast of ].

By the end of his presidency, Arthur had acquired wide personal popularity. On the day he left office, four young women (ignorant of Arthur's pledge not to marry again) offered to marry him. He was sometimes called "Elegant Arthur" for his commitment to fashionable attire and was said to have "looked like a president." He reportedly kept 80 pairs of pants in his wardrobe and changed pants several times a day. He was called "Chet" by family and friends, and by his middle name, with the stress on the second syllable ("Al-''AN''").

==Physical health==
As president Arthur alleviated his stress by taking late evening walks that usually began after 1 AM. He rarely went to bed before 2 AM.<ref name="reeves274">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A.

Arthur served as President through March 4, 1885. Upon leaving office, he returned to ] to serve as counsel to his old law firm. However, he was often indisposed because of his Bright's disease. He managed a few public appearances but none after the end of 1885.<ref name="reeves417">{{cite book | last = Reeves | first = Thomas C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Gentleman Boss | publisher = Alfred A.
