ALBANY, \. V, July Ga conference
OF the Republican members OF the legis'
lature was held this afternoon IN the
Assembly chamber. The subject OF the
conference was the vacancies in the
United Stat mate caused by the res
ignations OF Conkling and Plat.
The Call.
The call for the conference contained
the following:
We, the undersigned Republican
members OF the Legislature, do hereby
agree that when sixty-five or more Re-
publican members OF the Leg
islature haved signed this paper,
we will attend a conference OF such
signers, to act with all the other Repub-
liCan members who may join us, and at
such conference proceed to vote ui'" rOce
for the candidates to fill said vacancies,
and when two candidates shall
have each received tiity-four OF
OF the votes cast in said conference,
sixty-five or more voting. We will make
SAN Cd0ullldltS sD bu'ii
Der of votes, our candidates at the next
and each succeeding meeting OF the
Joint Assembly until the said candidates
shall be elected, provided, one candi-
date shall be from each Of the principal
divisions OF the Republican party.
The call OF the roll showed
There Was Tot the Required Number
OF the members OF the Legislature pres
ent.
Hamilton said that in view OF the fact
that there were not sixty prescnt,as pro.
vided for under the terms OI the call, he
would offer the following:
WHEREAS, The vacancies in the repre-.
sentation OF this State in the United
States Senate. which, in view OF the at
tempted murder OF the President,
and the consequences which
NAV arise thereirom, render It
the imperative duty o'the present Leg.
islature to fill by the election OF two Re.
publican Senators, and the people de-
mand that we shall not adjourn till we
have performed this duty; and
WHEREAS, Such differences OF opinion
have existed among the Republican
members OF the Legislature as have pre-.
vented an election after five weeks OF
voting; and
WHEREAS, We desire to discharge our
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-07-07

duty, promote harmony, and subserve
the best interests OF our country, State
and party; therefore,
Resolved, That we do cordially invite
all Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture to meet and participate with us in
a conference in order that an under
standing, honorable to the party, may
be reached concerning the candi-
date to be presented to and sup
ported in the Joint Convention and
Resolved, That with view to having
all the Republican members OF the Leg.
islature present for the purpose afore-
said, this conference do now adjourn
to meet in the Assembly chamber,
Thursday, July 7th, at 8 P. NJ, and that
this preamble and the resolutions be
read in the joint convention on Thurs.
day.
Discussing the Matter.
In the discussion of the resolutions,
Skinner said he thought if this Legis-
lature would 60 on and elect two Sena-
tors it would have a great deal TO do
with helping the President to recover
from the blow the assassin had given
him.
Senator Woodin said he, too, believe,..
the election of two Republican Senators
would do more gooG for the President
than any physician's potion. This
battle must be fought out here and not
at home. 1t was time we should
rebuke that wicked spirit which has
brought the President TO the brink OF
the grave. 1t was that which found
vent in the pistol. He had full faith
in being able tomorrow night
to do something which would
be a credit to the Legislature. Senator
Woodin urged harmony.
Assemblyman Raines spoke in the
same spirit.
Ex.Speaker Alvord said there were
no men, with the exception OF the re.
signing Senators, whom the peo-
pie would name, but he would
vote for Hickman. He thought it
strange the Republicans were unable to
get together sixty-three members s-ten
more than majority OF all in the legis-
lature.
Hamilton's resolutions were soon
afterwards adopted, and the conference
adjourded till Thursday evening.

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

A Man Belonging to Gen. Gsrfield's Reg
iment Shot in Exactly the Same Spot
During the War.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Dr. Bliss said
to Attorney General McVeagh this
morning that the President was
improving every hour, and that
the improvement was substantial
one. In answer to direct question, he
said: 81 think there is good substantial
probability that the President will re-
cover. There is strange coincidence in
his case" said DR.. Bliss. "In looking
over the records of the Surgeon Gene
rails Office find that among the cases
which had during the war was one of
a man who was shot in the liver and re-
covered, and ne happened to be SOL
dier in Gen. Garfield's regiment. His
was very interesting case. Another |
had during the war, somewhat similar,
was that of man shot through the liver.
An abcess formed, and l put tube in
and washed it. He was shot in July and
was well man again in September"

THE QUARREL.
Further Particulars the Quarrel OF tho
GalenS.

Further Particulars ofthe Quarrel Of tho
Galens
WASHINGTON, July G.--The quarrel
that the doctors had over the case con-
tinues to excite comment here. The
local doctors are divided in opinion on
the matter. Some approve what DIR.
Bliss said, and others condemn him.
The physicians who voluntarily went To
the White House without being sent
for, have been criticised az seeking some
notOrietv in connection with the case.
They deny this, and say their motive
was to be OF service. They say that last
Saturday evening and that night an i'm
preston was ont that the doctors ought
to 90 to the White House and Cifer their
services; that among some it was said
that the failure to do this would be con-
strued Us Indifference, and that some
of the doctors who volunteered their
services did so only to manifest interest
in the case, and show their Willingness
to do what they could. One opinion
generally is that DR.. Bliss was right in
reducing the number OF doctors around
the Presidents bed side. There were
so many that it amounted really to i
crowd and prevented that quiet which
was necessary. Bliss informed Mrs.
Garfield that quiet must be maintained,
and that it could not he done while a
dozen or more doctors had the right to
enter the room oi the President. II
was decided to stop Immediately
the visits OF all except few
who were necessary, aud instead Of
sending for others and informing them
personally of the state O! the case. Bliss
wrote notes. This seems to have offend
ed some, but in justification oil DIR. Bliss,
it is said, he couldn't spare the time TO
see the doctors individually, ,and besides,
the Presidents condition vas then so
critical and absolute quiet Was so neces-
sary that it was considered best not to
have another gathering OF all the doctors,
who had seen the case, about the Presi-
Iant'S room
