It was a very sensible tliing for the President to decide to remaln in Wash" ington, inslead of running any chances by goiug to Indianupolis. Wliile we do not like to think that there woukl be danger of assasiuation we know thtic la many a crank in the world who woukl like to get hia name in print even at the expense of taking anotlier man's life is well as forfeiting his own. With the present uncertainty of presidential succession Cleveland does wcll not to take any risks. A firm of New York shai pers are seiidng out circulars stating 4that "a sainiile organ will be sent you on receipt of $4 to pay expreps charges." They send the or;an, but U hs a mouth orgnn.
