WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16.-Only
one cabinet minister, Postmaster Gen
cral James. called at the White House
to-day. Members of the cabinet were
busy at their respective departments,
but received regular bulletins from the
President. In dressing the wound and
changing the bedding, the mode of lift
ing the President is to have six men
raise him on q sheet. This lifting is
necessarily jerky and uneven, and causes
pain. To-day DIR. Nichols, one of the
staff of surgeons at Bellvue medical
hospital, New York, arrived and ex-
planned TO the attending surgeons de-
vice of his for raising patients from a
bed, which has, he says. never been used
except in Bellvue hospital. 1t consists
of pulleys attached to upright frames at
the head and foot of the bed. Two
pieces of sail cloth are slipped under the
patient, one from his head and the other
from his feet, and met at the place of
the wound by lever. The pulleys are
moved and the patient is raised on this
sail cloth. DIR. Bliss ordered one made
immediately, and large force of men
are now at work on it for the President
The grand jury of the criminal court
will meet again Monday and will decide

Weary Of the White House

NEW YORK, July 1S.-A Washington
special says that the intense WEAKNESS of
the President with his confinement,
which finds expression in almost every
conversation with his friends and at
PENDANTS, and the advice of DR.. BOynton
TO secure for Mrs Garfield change of
scene and air, has led to discussion of
the ways and means to make the move
ment without danger. DIR. Bliss says the
motion Of railway train might be hurt
full even q month from now, while the
dangers of the track, the noise, crowds,
etc, render that mode of travel out of
the question for many weeks. Col. Rock
well proposes on the first of August to
take the President to old Point Comfort
on the Z. s. steamer Despatch. Should
this prove a benefit, after few days he
will then take advantage of the calm
weather and run around to Long Branch.
The President is strongly in favor of the
seaside. Mrs. Garfield has taken
strong dislike 10 the White House She
says every hour in il has been replete
with care. illness and danger. She be-
lieves the President would recover quick

Guiteau has not jumped his board bill

Why are photographs of Mrs. Gar

Because Mrs. Garfield is a modest and
sensible woman and would not allow
such thing.
"FOr the benefit of all who may come
after ME, am impelled to concede the
suicidal policy of throwing away dirty

Conkling.
Mr.. Conkling says that Lapham shall
not be elected. When Tom Mast repre-
scented The ex-Primate as a dog in the

of art which the world has seen since
the days of the old masters.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks that
Guiteau, instead of killing a president,
has made a formidable Republican can
didate for the Presidency in 1894 This
is display of levelheadedness not 10 be
expected during the heated term.
1t may seem little curious, but it is
fact, that we do not hear of anybody
paving up the dirt and roaring that he
is Stalwart. The New York Tribune
appropriately says ofthat term: "Blaine
invented it, ConklIng appropriated it,
Gulteau spoiled it."
Guiteau was not a Republican. He
had no convictions. He was and is a
legal, theological and political charlatan.
The chief end of this monster was to be
hanged. What pity the American
people cannot have two blessings at once.
But if the President RECEIVERS, Guiteau
must live.
Ex-President Hayes is mentioned, by

ALBANY, July 16.-The joint conven-
ton met at noon and the chair announced
that it would proceed to vote for q
United States Senator in place of Roscoe
Conkling.
Speaker Sharpe deplorcd the failure
to secure a caucus at the start and re-
ferred to one called by majority of the
authority, as it eliminated from
the majority, but he had delayed
action in accordance with the result of
that caucus because he saw IN the cleo
ton of the candidates it nominated a
great danger. He now warned the con-
ventiOn of that danger, saying the Dem
ocrats of the United States senate would
do what they could TO make the
election futile. He concluded
by saying that when his name was called
he would vote for Eldridge G. Lapham
instead of Roscoe Conkling. (Applause.)
The vote was then proceeded with. SEN
ator Foster, when his name was called,
explained his action as a member
of the caucus committee He
concluded by voting for Evarts.
Senator Halbert, when his name was
called, denounced the action of Senator
Foster, and said Speaker Sharpe had
made the greatest mistake of his life.
He concluded by voting for Roscoe
Conkling.
Senator Strahan said he was not yet
ready to admit he had been doing wrong.
He was ready to accept the will of the
majority but it must come through the
regular medium.
The vote stood as follows: Potter,
Al; Lapham, 65; Conkling, 20; Evarts,
1. Necessary to choice, 70.
Senator Baber, Speaker Sharpe and
Sessions were the only ones who chang
ed from Conkling to Lapham.

lowing result: Herman, II; Miller, 10;
