erately bullish this morning, and while pro-
fessionals were awaiting developments the
eliques had supporting orders in their special

Mr.. Murphy then spoke at length In reference
to assertions that the signing of pledges was

Mr.. Murphy then referred to the Industrial

An Absurd Sensation.

Considerable astonishment mingled with disgust,
was expressed yesterday over lie the New York
Herald had printed from its correspondent in this
city indicating the existence of plot to assassnate
General Harrison. The statement printed pur-
ports to be narrative of friend of the Harrison
family to confidential friend of the writer, and
speaks of attempt to execute the "dastardly de-
sign last week. when the fearful scheme" dis
covered by another friend and thwarted No names
mentioned and the narrative is SO evidently a
fiction of the cock-and bull pattern that its by the
New York paper that printed it is wondered at. To
those who know the cordial relations and freedom of
intercourse between General Harrison and the citi-
