"Only q Question Of Time"
LONG BRANCH, September 7, 1900 NJ.
The situation regarding the Presi-
dents condition continues favorable,
and the attending surgeons and Cabinet
officers express themselves as entirely
satisfied with the outlook. The morn
ing bulletin had the effect OF allaying all
uneasiness on the part OF those who
were anxious last evening, and 1t is
confidently expected that the favorable
change will continue. The fact OF the
President having had sufficient recu-
perative power to rally from his depress-
ed condition last evening is received as
a very good indication that recovery is
but a question Of time.
DR.. Bliss thinks the ocean air will
heneeforth have q good, bracing effect
upon the President. Attorney General
McVeigh, who last evening was extreme
ly respondent, Is feeling good this morn
ing, and thinks the change during the
night almost marvellous. 1t having been
decided to issue bulletins but twice q
day is another good indication, and ten' 8

The President is reported to be passing

More Comfortable than ct Washington.
LONG BRANCH, 2:35 p. M.-General
Swain says the President has held his
own during the day, and he thinks he is
somewhat stronger. The President ex-
pressed himself as feeling much more
comfortable than when in Washington,
and enjoys the sea air exceedingly. DIR.
Boynton, who was present at the noon
examination, says his pulse, while lit
tie higher, being ia beats, was good and
firm, and that his temperature which
was but little above normal indicated
that there was very little fever. On the
whole, said the doctor, the improvement
of the President since last night shows
that he has considerable vitality left. l
expect to be able to give you better news
in the course OF the next thirty.six or
thirty-eight hours.
Residents of Long Branch say the heat
of to-day is greater than it has been for
wears. In some places the Thermometer
ranges between ninety and one hun
dred. The Presidents quarters are quite
comfortable, however, and are subject
TO what little air is stirring.
Resolutions Of Sympathy.
New YORK, September THE meet
ing of the Democratic State Committee
to-day was a full one. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
by a rising vote:
RssOlred, That the peoples right to be
represented in the executive Office OF the
United States by a chief magistrate OF
their own choice has now again been
imperilled. This right OF the people in
q representative republic is fundamen-
tai principle of self.government. Wheth-
er this right be imperilled, as in 1876, by
a conspiracy of force and fraud among
the officeholders OF the party in power,
aiming to nullify the peoples
verdict, or as now by the
bullet of an assassin, whatever
his motive, that peril should awaken in
every patriotic heart not only respectful
sympathy with the victim OF such atroc-
itv, but also that political vigilance,
which is the cost Of maintaining the
safe guard of civil liberty.
ReSOired, That the members OF the
Democratic State Convention OF New
York, at their first meeting since the at.
tack upon the President OF the United
States, take this occasion to record their
indignation and horror at the infamous
deed, and to express their heartfelt SYM
pathy with the distinguished sufferer
and his stricken family in their sffiic.

bors OF love and of science for the res.

and to the full exercise OF the constitu-
