THE RuMoRs OF A CONSPIRACY
Discreditcd by Members or the Cabinet
Tho President's Request on the Subject.

The Cabinet has been greatly disturbed
by the sensational reports that have been pub.
lishcd about possible conspiracy These rumors
were started by persons who surmised that there
must have been conspiracy. There Is no question,
however, that deliberate assertions have been
made that the assassin was the tool OF the star.
route ring. All sorts of rumors have prevailed
with this as basis. Great care and great deal
OF time has been taken by your correspondents in
sitting Ill Of these rumors They amount abso.
lutely TO nothing, and II must he said that men
who ought TO know better aro circulating them
Guiteau may have had an accomplice in his crime
but II he has no one knows whore to look for
MIN. There havo been stories about
tall man who gave Guiteau q signal at tho depot
Possibly tall man spoke to him, but the fact has
no more connection with tho matter than did
Guiteau's employment of a hackman. Ono OF tho
rImors which has been circulated is that some Of
the star-route people knew Of the assassns pur-
pose and did nothing to prevent his execution of
It, 1t seems TO have absolutely no foundation
Not one of the officials who arc looking into
Guiteau's history has discovered reason for be.
heving or suspectlng that there was any con.
spiracy. Tho officials are Of course making full
searching, and exact examination, but they are
convinced that the act Is that of an irresponsible
maniac.
/. Members OF the Cabinet earnestly advised the
correspondents not to excite the public by dis.
patches In regard to conspiracies. Tho Cabinet
at the time actually discussed the proproty Of
making public statement of Its conviction that
the assassination was an act conceived and exc.
cuted By one man, and he beyond question an ir-
responsible person II was decided however not
TO do this as II would seem to be giving too much
importance 10 Sensational rnmors, In their private
dispatches the members Of the Cabinet were caro-
ful to Sc, forth their viows in this regard. Mr.
Blaine has again and again said that 1t was the act
OF crazy man, and that II was as irresponsible an
act as though the President had been injured by
accident The President himself has requested
that every eior. he taken TO disabuse the minds
The public OF this idea
There Is much complaint among certain persons
because Senator Consling has not sent dispatch
ofCondolence Senators Burnside, Edmunds Nor.
rill. Cameron, Dawes. and Others have not been
heard irom.-Neir York Sun.

Stalwart Republican party. the terrible national
calamity which has recently hehen us in the
attempted assassination of our universally beloved
President, These miscrcants while claiming to

Opportunity unlmproyed which In their opinion
VIII most speedily contribute to the destruction of
the political party they lyingly profess TO love, and

Is to this ncrous class of obscquious ingrates that

of the heads Of Departments, with view TO urging
upon them the necessity, in the behalf Of common
justice and deccncy, the proproty OF summarily
