THE PRESIDENT.

hoteo IN the evening bulletin the President
case is conceded to be as favorable as yeste
DAY. The doctor said the high temperatu1
was simply owing to the earlier presence {
the usual febrile rise, and 10 apprehension
warranted.
Col Rockwell considered the Presiden
h. slightly better. He passed last night YER
% well. He coughed about three times an,
70 expectorated quite freely and without effor,
d L feel encouraged with his general condi
e tlon," said the Colonel, especially as ther
has been no unfavorable symptoms deveI
oped. l think it will be quite comfortable
here for the President until the earlv part O
october. The weather is generally pleasan
until that time. 1 think when he gain.
strength he will 60 home to Mentor. O.
course he is very sick man and extremely
: weak, but each day that passes without any
f unfaVorable symptoms is a day of progress
BY the time the cottages close and the season
; IS finally over here, think the President
will be sufficiently recuperated to be moved
by railway without annoyance"
There is considerable comment relative to
the statements published, to the effect that
the Presidents blood is perfectly pure. The
prevailing impression among gentlemen high
IN official ranks is that the Presidents blood
IS impure and in sceptic condition. and
many go as far as to consider it chronic blood
poisoning although probably of very mild
, character.
ELBERoN September 15-The President
passed quiet day, sleeping little. He has
coughed occasionally, the expectoration being
less pourulent. The general variety of nour-
lshment has been taken without discomfort.
He was placed in an invalid chair and re-
malned 40 minutes in a position little more
elevated than on previous occasions. At 1:25
p. M. his temperature was 9S9-1OO; pulse. |
1O2; respiration, q. At the evening dress

several nights past. i
In reviewing the case of the President since
his arrival at Long Branch, it may be said in
IN spite of the various septic accidents which
Tor several weeks and do still complicate his
case, he certainly has not retrograded, but :,
IN the contrary has made some progress

Brown says the President feels brighter this :,
