Well, I think they have Chester Arthur confused with his father, William. After doing a little research, I found these facts:
Chester Arthur

Born: October 5, 1829, Fairfield, Vermont
Nickname: "The Gentleman Boss"
Religion: Episcopalian
Marriage: October 25, 1859, to Ellen Lewis Herndon (1837-1880)
Children: William Lewis Herndon (1860-1863), Chester Alan (1864-1937), Ellen Herndon (1871-1915)
Education: Union College (graduated 1848)

Life in Brief: Chester Arthur was the fifth child of a fervent abolitionist preacher who moved his family from one Baptist parish to the next throughout New York and Vermont. Attending Union College, Arthur showed far more interest in extracurricular activities and political demonstrations than in his studies.

(No political party should pick candidates. That's the voters job.)
