The Balloting Saturday-

ALBANY , July 9. The joint con
volition resumed its session at twelve
o'clock to-day. The ballot for a suc
cessor to Conkling resulted : Conkling
31Lapham 07 ; Whoolerl. Potter 50
total 149. Necessary to a choice , 75.
Previous to the balloting and dur
ing the ballot long speeches were
made by the stalwarts and half
broods. It was contended by the
stalwarts that Messrs Lapham and
Mills had boon irregularly nominated ;
that there had been no formal caucus ;
that faction could not rule the party ,
and that the election to the senator-
ship of Lapliam and Mills , both of
whom are now members
of the lower house of congress
would turn that branch of
congress over to the democrats ;
that there -was not time for a special
election to fill the vacancies and it
was not the policy of the republicans
to endanger their majority in the
house of representatives.
The ballot for a successor to Platt
resulted : Miller 68 , Wheeler 19 ,
Rogers 4 , Adams 3 , Chapman 2 , Cor
nell 1 , Bliss 1 , Stanicr 1 , Kearnan 50.
Total , 149.
During the ballot a bitter discus
sion between the half-breeds and stal
warts was continued. Senator Rob
ertson made a speech in which he
vigorously maintained that for any
possible democratic 'majority in con
gress the stalwarts wore responsible ,
inasmuch as they had for forty days
declined all propositions 'for'a ' settlement -
ment of the difficulty and had per
sistently voted to replace two men
who had rendered a democratic ma
jority poBsible t
The convention finally adjourned
till Monday.
WILL I'UOllAULY ELECT THEU TUESDAY.
ALBANY-N. Y. , July 10. The half
breed leaders who remained in the city
over Sunday positively assort that
they will elect Lapliam and Miller on
Tuesday to succeed Conkling and
Platt , They refuse absolutely to give
any reasons for their confidence , but
there is evidently some hidden moan
ing behind their assertions. The stal
warts claim that their vote will remain
solid and that there have been no de
fections. It is rumored that in case
the joint convention docs not elect to
morrow , Conkling will return here
and that if the president's condition
conninuoH to improve Vice President
Arthur will also come. .

also took lus usual nourishment. Ho
fell asleep the aocond time xyith-

and to the surprise of his attendants'
did not awake until nearly 5 o'clock
in the ' morning. This long period
was'not a continuous slumber but a
continuation of n sleeping rest. The
patient would in each half hour \opon
liis eyes for a second , hnd then close
them again. The sloop -was calm rind
stronuth-glving. No tossing about or.

eye and back are neces

body is unmanagoablo. These
circumstances have no effect upon
liim more than to call out remarks
concerning thorn. Ho makes no com
plaint and never exhibits irritation.
In making the examination and dressing -
ing the wounds ho lias to bo moved
considerably. Ho rather longs for
this operation for ho says ho fcols so
nucli better after it is over , as shown
by the morning bulletin. The pulse

Less puss had como from the wound
which was also a favorable report. Dr.
Bliss says that while there may bo
considerable moro puss matter in the
wound it muat not bo expected that
its discharge will continue uniform
To-day the dispatches are still healthy
and as long as that condition exists
the process of svpporation mayo
\o considered as favorable. There
are no indications of pyomin yet , and
as long as the pus matter is healthy ,
and free or until it is all taken from
the wound , there will bo no danger
from that complication. The pathe-
elegy of pyomia is too comprehensive
for elucidation. Bliss says that now
while everything is possible , no probable -
able danger is to arrive from that
quarter. After the first eight days
in such cases the danger
of secondary hommorrhago is
usual. The eight days of the piosi-
dont's illness are accomplished , still
the veins are plujjged and BO long as
ilio present condition of the patient
'docs not materially dotcrioato , so long
will the danger from the cause be
avoided. For this reason the physi-
'cians congratulate'themselves aud all
others upon the favorable aspect of
the president , and the clear action of
his symptoms. In fact they are so
much encouraged by his
progress during the night that they
are on the "sunny side" of the caso.
The hope of thu family and cabinet , is
also strengthened and confidence
reigns , barfing , of course , the unfor-
seen daiigcis that are possible. The
president , too , looks forward to recov

of the time was particularly wide
awako. Ho evinced a desire to know
what was going on. His room it so
situated that ho docs not hoar the
noise consequent upon putting up the
the various ventilating apparatus , but
ho hears every little noise throughout
the room.
When the noon examination took
place something was said about the
bulletins and ho expressed a desire
to see one. Maj. Swaim lot him have .

the remark , "I should think the people

SCHNEH IN AND ABOUT THli WHITE
1IOUHK.
The "White House cullers during the
day were fow. Miss Mollie Garfield
came down from Col. Rockwell's at an sl
narly hour and spent to-day with her slll
mother , and they took a short ride on
ride , together with the boys toward
ovpning. Members of the cabinet re >
ceived their morning bulletins as us
ual and moat of them called for a mo
ment after church hours. n
Private Secretary Brown and the
clerical . force remained on duty all
day , the newspapers , oven , wore
scarce , the watchman at the door had
little to do , and the soldiers on the
lawn sought the shade and slept.
There was noise andconfusion enough ,
however , of a kind , about the prem
ises. In the first place some Boston an
friends had sent in still another cool anEl
ing machine. Tin's was a natural Elb
process of air through ice and a screen b
had to bo sot up by way of L
illustration. This was done in
Colonel Crooks' room. Thus arrang VI
it was very nicely cooled but the VIe
agent said he could not undertake to n
cool the whole of the president's room .0
that way , and it won at once ovi * ia
dent to all that to build a screen about iah
the president would run the risk 9 ! h
giving him the idea that they were n
drawing the winding sheets about him in
degrees. Another objection to inii
this plan , also was the necessity of wl
refilling the ice tank in the ) if
room where the president was. i

Dr. Bliss 'informed the cabinet oh ou

wore prepared for every possible o

Imvo the case under control. Unfor- oi

EXAMINATION OF THIS 1'ISTOL.
The district attorney to-day ro-
oived the following : "Hon. U. B ,

ley for the District of Columbia -Sir :
Vo Imvo to report that in com-
iliance with your request wo liavo ex
amined and hrcd the pistol put into
ur hands by Detective G. W. Mo-
Clfresthanu which is , so far as wo are
bio to judge by comparison with
duplicate in every respect , except
ho grip , which ia of wood instead of
very , of the ono used in thu recent at-
empt : to assassinate the president.
'ho pistol is marked "British Bull-
.og" but does not bear the maker's
lamo. It is douolo acting with a re-
olving cylinder , containing five
hambors , each of which are 1 | inches
length and the calibre ia .44. of an
iich in length. With the
listol were four cartridges
rhich were handed us from your
IIlce ] jjofo by yourself ; five or tt\x \
Hhors : , apparently like them handed
us by Detective McElfrosh. In
jur experimental firing wo first used
hrop of these handed by yourself , ro-
orving : onu for weighing-one of the
text throe of the others. Of the six
ecoivod from Detective McElfresh
wo failed to explode and ono was ro-
orvod : for weighing. The first throe
referred to above are designated
2 and S , aud the second 3
irod by numbers for 5 , G
ind 7. The target was made of six
line boards , each ono inch in thick-
less , and placed one behind the oth-
, at intervals of ouo inch. First
ucortainmg that the pistol was in

rornit at the target at a distance of

STO. . 1 wont through tliroo boards and
glanced on the fourth ; No. 2 wont
rough the throe boards and imbed-
led itself in the fourth ; No. 3 wou
hroughono board and lodged in the
eeond ; No. 4 won't through two
boards and lodged ia .tho third ;
No. 5 went through two boards and

This report is to bo the basis on ono
line of idenco to bo produced at the
trial. Speaking of the ball calls up
the iccont RUitjruttion of a prominent
Washington physician that n careful
examination of every article of cloth
ing worn by the president and pene
trated by the bail should bo nmao to
ascertain if any portion is missing.
This examination should bo nmdo
with a powei ful glass that will detect
the absence of anv Hbro
and show whether any scrap or patch
haa been carried into thu wounds.
Kits of cloth are much moro danger
ous substances to bo lodged in the
body than leaden bullets.
Dr. Bliss was spoken to on the sub
ject and stated that thu physicians
had left no stone unturned in. inves
tigating and treating the case.

CHICAGO , July 10. The following
resolutions were adopted by the main
section of the socialistic labor party of
Chicago to-day :
WiiEUiiAS , Many efforts hayo
been made during the roccmt excite
ment caused by the attempted assassi
nation of James A. Garfield to cast
discredit upon and prejudice the pub- _
lie mind against the principles of socialism -
cialism by the assertion that Iho as
sassin's ' action was the legitimate
'
result of his connection with 'the socialistic - , ,
cialistic party of this city and accept
ance by him of the principles wo ad
vocate , and
WinniUAH , It is our duty to refute
this falsehood and place ourselves
squarely on record in regard to this
attempted murder.
RESOLVEIJ , That wo , the members
of the socialistic laborparty , denounce
as false and malicious all statements
connecting Guiteau jn , any waywithj p5cuu ,
this'organization ' , iand wptjiave ! l - ! j. , afcfi&f *

wo rcgrot the attempt upon the life i
James A. Garfield as wo do such at
tempts upon1 the life of any human
being no matter ho * conspicuous oc
obscure the individual may bo.
'Resolved , That in our opinion , the
rcsposibility of this ( Guitcaus ) act ,
rests not on the excontricity of the
individual , or upon the social or polit
ical associations with which ho con
nected himself , but is the natural re
sult of the destructive social and
political system upon which society
is based. That in the face of the dom-
ucratic sentiments of the founders of
this republic so ably sot forth in the
Declaration of Independence elevates
every four years a single individual tea
a height socially and politically so
far above the people us to make him
the equal of the c/.ar'a , emperors
and kings of the old world who claim
divine physical and mental attributes
suited to their exalted positions , endows
dews him with the autocrat's power
of veto to change the entire personnel
of the administrative government and
to make each governmental ompUyo
a social aud political tool , to bo used
for or against the people , or his wills
to change the financial affairs of the
country , to affect as ho pleases
the commercial and industrial interests
of fifty million people , gives to him
the power to manipulate the army ,
navy , postoflico , treasury , custom
house , Indian bureau and our relations
with foreign nations , make him the ,
center around which gather the Van-
dorbilts and Goulds and every ring 'of
plunderers who fatten upon the earn
ings of the people , make him the re
sponsible dispenser of one thou
sand gifts , makes him a deuii-god
surrounded by a million sycophants
who smile , frown and Iiato by turns , a
monstrous social and political "Old
Man of the Sea , " whoso existence-
an encumbrance and a constantdangec
to the progress and liberty of the people
ple and whoso accidental or illegiti
mate destruction imperials the nations
life by the efforts of the unscrupulous
men to secure the vacant seat of power ,
and , , ,
RESOLVED , That wo hope that this
attempted assassination will cell thu
people's attention to the dangerous
power inrostod in the president of
this republic and that it will lead to
the speedy abolition of that ofllco and
also of the United States senate ,
which is but little less pernicious and
dangerous and equally undemocratic1
and absurd ,
