New-York tribune., 1881-08-30


isned anxiety to the bulletins Hope, however
which had died out on Saturday has now revived
again. The people who gather about the newspa-
per and telegraph Offices and other places where i'm
iormation can be obtained, show in their converse
uon' in their faces and in other ways what re-
hef the change has brought to them The dark cloud
OF gloom that hung over the public Saturday has
peeu pierced by new rays light and will soon dis
appear entirely # the cheering intelligence that is
now coming from the White House continues few
days longer
Inc frequent changee in the Presidents long ILL
ness nave placed the public the alert and in q
measure dispeled confidence In every
gacnering yesterday there were many
pessmsts who could not get rid of
tneir grave fears for the worst " but there was a
majority OF persons who believed that the sublime
faith OF the Presidents devoted wife in his recovery
was not misplaced Much faith was also put in his
own brave resolution TO continue the STRUGGLE
Many persons thought that the surprising victory
eahicd on saturday was due in a large measure to
the Presidents determination to resist death.
Another crisis has passed" was the response of
many persons when asked what they thought of yes-
terday's news But" was the word which general
ly followed, end then an explanation that he was
ne man'struGgiing against frightful odds, and that
wmle the conditions do not forbid hope they do not
beget confidence. 1t will take some days of con-
tnucd rood news to raise the doubted confidence in
the Presidents recovery to the point at which it
stood before the recent relapse.
There were evidences everywhere uptown
yesterday that the weight of anxiety that
rested SO heavily during the closing days of last
week had been removed Many argued with them
selves that as the President continued TO gain. he
would be out of danger. They were SO overioyed
that recovery has become possible that they refused
ro,ns 70 ener,an & any thoughts of another possible
pnnetins az hotels and telegraph offices were
sought as they have been every day during the
weeks since the shooting, but it was to learn how
much the gain had been. The nervous haste that
characterzed the crowd Friday and Saturday was
not seen. Significant shakes of the head and the
expression OF fears for the worst gave way TO excla
nations of confidence that all would yet be well
Thai there were unfavorable changes in his con-
ditiOn reported in the evening gave still greater
grounds tor encouragement.
There was the usual number of persons in the cor
ridors OF the Fifth Avenue Hotel and on the side
