| Notes: | Chester Alan Arthur, 21st President (1881-85), succeeded to the presidency on the death of James A. Garfield on Sept. 19, 1881. An influential member of Roscoe's political organization in New York State before he won the Vice-Presidency in 1880, Arthur made a competent chief executive. This creditable record contradicted the general dismay expressed when he entered the White House. |
