The Public Feeling.
UNIVERSAL MANIFESTATIONS OF ANXIETY AND
GRIEF.
AS each successive bulletin from the White
House yesterday announced the continued i'm
provement or the President there was a general
feeling OF relief experienced The anxiety and
dread which had oppressed everybody gave
way before the continued good news, and feel
ing OF actual hope inspired the people The
change was visible everywhere. Everybody
spoke hopefully. It is rather remarkable that
great many persons, scores, and. perhaps.
hundreds OF them, adhere TO the same mistaken
faith In the PRESIDENTS final recovery that Mrs.
Garfield has expressed. Hell get well I
know be Will; / just feel that he will is
declaration OF belief frequently uttered. Per-
sons who feel thus do not undertake to account
for their feeling upon any rational basis.
They proclaim IL as simply a faith that is
strong within them; faith that the God who
rules over nations Will spare 10 this country a
President la whom such universal confidence
is felt. and who is so universally admired, re-
spectod and revered by the people over whom
he has been called TO rule.
TIE PRESIDENTS HEROIC CONDUCT
since he was shot has increased the national
respect for and confidence In him. He has
shown that under all circumstances and condi-
tons he is the same. With death staring him
In the face, he is just exactly what he was
when In the full vigor OF splendid manhood. on
every hand, In every way. and by all sections OF
The country, proofs OF the deep hold the Pree-
dent has upon the popular heart are abundant.
Hundreds OF persons from north, SOUTH east
ara west have come TO Washington since Sat-
urday In order that they may oe near enough
TO hear the first news. Every train brings new
arrivals. Crowds continually hang around the
White House grounds, and every person who
comes out is eagerly asked for the latest news.
All through the night hundreds maintain their
position at the eastern gate OF the White House
front, through which visitors enter and depart.
These crowds are entirely orderly. They talk
In low tones and keep back upon the lines
marked by the guard. They ask the visitor
q lafo
dent" In quiet, respectful manner. Many OF
the best citizens OF the land are to be seen In
the groups
AT 7HR WHITE HOUSE GATH,
standing there by the hour, waiting for the
latest information OF the Presidents condition.
There is 10 disposition among the people TO
Indulge In pleasures OF any kind. Anxiety is
in every household. The excursion trains left
the city to-day with but very few pleasure
seekers on board. In all the cities O, the
south public meetings have been held and reso-
lutions expressing the greatest admiration for
the President, and hope or his recovery have been
adopted. The feeling In that section is. as one
leading paper expresses IL. that the assassin
stuck at the nation s heart when he shot down
the natioL's President No ruler has ever more
completely won the affections OF his people than
Prts.dent Garfield.
