A Feat OF Sur gerry.
Port Townsend Argus, Nov. II.

Fort Townsend Argus, Nov. II.
The formidable operation Of ovari-
otomy was successfully performed
upon Mrs. A. A. Plumme Sr., last
week. thereby removing a large ova-
rian tumor from the abdominal
cavity, weighing forty pounds. The
operation was performed by DR.. H.
c. Willison, OF this city, assisted by
DIR. j. V. Calhoun, oi La Conner,
DR.. j. T. Hall, us. A., of Fort
Townsend, Mrs. Harrison, of Coup.
vile. DR.. L. T. Seavy, Of this city.
and DR.. Spencer G. Devan. U. S.
Marine Hospital Surgeon. Mrs.
Plummer has been confined to her
bed for several months from the ef-
fects of this tumor, which had grown
rapidly until the whole abdominal
cavity was filled to it's utmost ca
pacity. But little food could be
taken, and breathing was very diff
cult. Tapping had been resorted to
some weeks ago, but the contents of
the tumor, which are usually thin and
limpid, proved in this case to be too
thick and tenacious to be drawn of.
The only hope left was q difficult
and perilous surgical operation.
The patient Was placed under the
influence Of an anesthstic ct . quar-.

ter to twelve o'clock; . long deep
cut, extending from the naval to the
lower part of the abdomen was made
down to the coats of the tumor. On
cutting into the tumor, it was found
to contain innumerable smaller cysts,
varying from the size of pea to
larger ONES, containg o quart each Of
this ge.atinous liquid. These all
had to be broken down and scooped
out with the hand, tho sizs of the
cut being made larger by extending
it three inches above the naval. max
ing the incision about nine inches
long. The contents of the sack
were then removed through this
opening, and the sack itself also
finally drawn out after breaking
the numerous adhesions which bound
it to other organs. The stem was
tied with silk and cut of, letting
the stump fall back into the cavity
of the abdomen. The incision was
carefully sewed together, and the
patient put to bed.
1t was a long and tedious opera
ton, lasting two hours and quar-
ter. At this writing the patient is
doing as we'll as could be expected,
having survived the immediate shock
of the operation and the danger
from hemorrhage. But little blood
was lost during the operation, great
care being taken to tie every little
point that showed itself. This is
the first time ovariotomy has ever
been performed in Washington Ter
ritory, and DR.. Willison is specially
to be congratulated on having 80
successfully accomplished one of the
most delicate and difficult feats
known to modern surgery. The
patient could not possibly have
lived more than q few weeks longer,
had she been left to Nature. Her
symptoms up to this time are favor.
able. and unless blood poisoning re-
suits there is hope she may recover.

Speaking mournfully Of the result
of the election in New York State
and the collapse of his young friend
Foraker. John Sherman says he
thinks now that he could have turned
the Empire State over to the Rspub-
licans if he bad made . vigorous
horseback campaign, using the
saddle which his brother Tecump
rode on during the war. He thinks
that the average New York Republi.
can is drifting away from the glori-
GUS war period because he has moth
ing tangible to cling to.
How the mighty Republican party
has fallenl Here is the great strong
hold of Iowa, which used to be good
for something like 10000 Republi-
can majority without much of =
squeeze. whitfield down to q contest
as 10 q bare plurality! And the Re-
publican campaign in Iowa this year
was run on tho good old war.hoop,
bloody shirt basis. The passions Of
1868 were appealed to in the most
approved fashion, and yet the State
only gives the candidate for Cover.
nor bare plurality of 5000! Surely
the Republican party is about ready
for a i" reorganization"-as they say
in dramatic circles when the public
fails to visit the box-office.
A prominent Ohio Republican, re-
siding in Washington. says: II
took part in the campaign in New
York. I made several speeches for
Davenport. I found out in that
campaign that the Blaine men were
indisposed to see Mr.. Davenport
succeed on account of tho fervent
and idiotic claims of the Mugwump
people. MIR. Blaine wished to see
the candidate indorsed by them 60
down. I believe his influence per-
formed o certain share of the work
of defeating Davenport. It is all
humbug about Blaine's retiring from
politics. When the convention
meets in 1873 you will find Blaine as
active as he was at the last Chicago
convention. Blaine is now con-
vinced that he is the strongest man
in his party. He thinks the figures
of the late election show that be
polled . stronger vote in New York
than any other Republican candi-
dast could have done. For that
reason, if for no other, he expects to
be either tho nominee of his party in
1883 or to be able to dictate abso-
lutely who shall be nominated. The
Republicans will be convinced that
without his aid they will have nc
chance to carry New York. New
York in 1883 will be as important q
lastor q it vas laet year"
