Arthur came from a shady background, but was pretty honest in an era of scandal-ridden presidents. He turned his back on the dishonest types in order to run an ethical administration.
He left after one term due to health reasons, but it's been said that his Republican benefactors were a bit miffed at being brushed aside for (egad!) 'honest politics'.
On the negative side, he had the work ethic of George W. Bush.
