more cautious people, while satisfied with
the patients present condition, decide to wait
further developments before entertaining q
belief that a favorable change will not be H.
terrupted by some unforeseen complication.
While the pulse has risen six beats since

than at the evening dressing yesterday is
accepted as favorable indication, especially

According to our Geographic advices
the Administration is everywhere in
dorsed in it's imbrogiio with Conkling.
Even in several places in his own State
public meetings are being held and petit
tions circulated in opposition to the
course of the late Senator. We expected
as much from the feeling in our own lit
tie town. After all. public opinion with
reference to questions Of general con
Germ is about the same in one place as
another. Our ~neighbors and immediate
associates seldom fail to reflect the SEN
timent of the country on any topic of
universal interest. Persons whose bust
ness it is to note and study the drift Of
public feeling can hardly go astray if
guided by the expressions Of homs peo-
pie. Hence, when we find all classes i'll
Eureka indorsing the Administration, we
may know that the same feeling animates
the masses in every section of the Union.
At this writing it seems to be a settled
fact that Conkling's course must go down
III history as one of the most fatal blum
ders ever committed by a great political
leader.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-05-18

1t begins to be apparent that Conkling
thought he had a string to his resignation
when he rendered it; that is to say, that
he had a sure thing ON being reelected.
Opposition is already developing, and
several prominent gentlemen Of New
York are mentioned i'll connection with
the vacancies. 1t may be that the petu-
lent Senators will encounter rougher po-
litical seas than they had anticipated.
However, we regard it as quite certain
that Conkling will be returned, and if
he goes through there is no good reason
why Platt should not succeed on the
same issue. If toe New York Legisla.
ture concludes to rebuke the Administra.
ton by re-electing Conkling, it must
stand by Platt for the same reason. Tc
elect n and drop the other would fall
short Of the requirements OF the case. Il
would be half rebuke and half some
thing else.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-05-18

The subject of the unexpected resig-
nations Of Conkling and Platt is the SEN
sation of the hour in newspaper and po-
litical circles. Unquestionably it has
been the sole absorbing theme for the
past thirty hours. There is not a journal
in America, of high or low degree, that
has not, or will not, have its say about
the matter in all Of its bearings. The
views of prominent men Of all shades of
political opinion will also be gathered
and published. We shall hear nothing
else for the next month. About the time
the subject has grown old and t~hreadbare
ON this coast, the eastern dailies and
weeklies will begin to put in an appear
ancc with their startling headlines and
double loaded comments. 1t is about
that time that the patient editor of the
Far West will begin to wish that the
planets had c~onjuncted and swept the
pouting New York Senators from earth
to eternity.

rent. He said the anti-slavery movement

make it impossible for landlords to collect
rents.
