dent-Hayes and Cleveland were still
alive when last heard from--could be
persuaded to write the book. They,
certainly, could speak eXperlmentally,
if not by authority.
as soon as President is elected it
seems AS If there was widespread
conspiracy instantly inaugurated to
kill him, in which Il vast multitude of
intelligent aud patriotic people were
the cOnspiratols. The means, and
weapons employed are htither dyna-
mite, nor gunpowder. The persons
engaged are not assassius, in the vul-
gar or legal sense, but the result OF
their methods are likely to be AS fatal.
We mean the invasion of the time. the
home, the attention, and the strength
of the President elect by 4 vast crowd
OF uniuvited persons whose demands
upon him have no relation whatever
to the public interests. Since the re-
suit Of the election in November Gen.
Harrison has had scarcely moment
to call his own, even to consider how
ne may best meet the high responsible
lies now confronting him. Visits
from people who have axes to grind,
unsolicited advice to give, or prema
ture favOrs to crave, congratulations
to offer which might as we'll be left un
expressed, and other forms Of invasion
are trying to the nerves, health and pa
tience Of IL man Of age and immense
cares, who ought TO relieved, rather
than burdened by unnecessary de-
mands.
We yrant that American Presidents
should be accessible to those who have
necessary business with them, but
should every body without business be
at liberty to make life to him not worth
the living?

pie to newly elected Presidents that
they shall not be visited except by
