LONDON. April 22.-All of the European press
bureaus have kept open to-day in expectation of
receiving bulletins showing the condition OF
Emperor Frederick. This sort of thing is con-
trary to custom and almost without precedent,
but the demand for information concerning the
stricken Kaiser is persistent throughout Eng
land and the continent that the newspapers are
now prepared to issue extra editions at any mo-
ment. The bulletins received to-day indicate
unexpected improvement in the Emperor's con-
dition generally. but this is said to be merely
phase of his disease which denotes the presence
OF py8mia and gives the physicians no
hope It transpires that the doctors ex-
pected fatal termination of the

''very hopeful of the success OF the Republican
party in the coming campaign. but the fact can
not be disguised that the Democracy will enter
upon the contest certain of the electoral votes of
the solid South no matter what may be the
vote actually cast in that section. and
that the whole power of the pretended
reform administration will be exerted in the
doubtful Northern States to secure the perpetu-
alton of Democratic rule. I believe that the
success of the Republican party in the coming
campaign is of vital Importance to the party,
and the logic of the situation demands that per-
sonal ambition and personal preference shall be
subordinated absolutely to the success of Repub-
lican principles. It is the time sbove all others
when the nominee should be the choice OF the
whole party as nearly as possible. So far as
am personally concerned. am not a candidate
for the presidency, and have told my friends
at home that I desired that Illinois
shall send delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton prepared to supDort the most available cam

to be the most acceptable to the party, whoever
be may be. If in the deliberations of the con-
