he could be permitted to do so, but the
physicians did not think it best at the
present time to allow any one
to see the President except men,
bers of his family. Mrs. Garfield is an
unwearied attendant at her husbands bed
side, aiding the physicians and nurses as
necessity requires, and maintaining her
strength, sef-control and cheerfulness with
the firm conviction that the President will
recover.
The District Commissioners have pub
lished card requesting the people to refrain
from all noisy demonstrations tomorrow.
and the municipal regulations relative to
common and explosives will be strictly en-
forced. The weather is clear and calm, but
not warm enough, it is thought to have
any unfavorable influence upon the Presi-
dents condition. There is obvious differ
ence of opinion among medical men as to
the probability of the Presidents surviving
his injuries, but there is an unmistakable
air of hopefulness on the faces of the at
tending physicians, which was wanting up to
a late hour last night. Despite his extreme
ly critical condition, the country may rea-
sonably cherish some hope that the Presi-
dent will yet recover. The lapse of time
since the bullet did its work, without large
loss of blood, renders it probable that no
large artery or vein has been severed
Had this occurred, there would doubtless
have been a fatal hemorrhage before this
time To the hopeful side of the case
may also be added the important point that
the irritable condition of the stomach has
been somewhat overcome, and healthy re-
action in that direction may now be expected
To the ordinary chances of life, under such cir
cumstances, should also be added the Presi-
dents naturally strong constitution, and his
regular habits, his cheerful spirits, his I'M
clouded mind, his great fortitude, his hope
full reliance on Providence, and his deter
mination to recover if possible. These are all
important factors in his favor
The following were among the telegra ms
received to-day by Secretary Blaine:
BANGOR, MAINE, July 3.

the hopeful condition of the President is a

CHICAGO, June 2.
The Inter Ocean of to-day, says:
Throughout the day and night people
watched with suffering the President, and
in this vigil, there came to them thoughts
that came only to free people in the great
crisis. There was in no quarter any excuse
for the act, or any expressed or i'm
piled the sympathy TO the murderer
There was no disposition, except among the
shallow-pated and little-souled, to turn
the tragedy to political account, an6
the mandlin muttering of this class
We're promptly rebuked. The people
to their credit be it said, saw the attempt
on the life of the President in the light of &
menace against the government and a
crime against our civilization. They were
more than friends of General Garfield
They were champions of good government
protesting against any philosophy, any
fanaticism, any nihilistic tendency, however
slight, that would excuse such a crime any
where, or that would fail to condemn it
IfPresident Garfield should live through this
crisis all the people will be reverent in theil
thankfulness, and as one man in their re
joicing Should he die, they will turn il
their sorrow and wrath to crush out al
the inanity and mushroom sophistry tina
makes assassination possible.
BUFFALO, n. Y, July 3.

to the condition of the wounded President.
