quoting from Mr.. Clevelands denuncia-

Mr.. Cassidy does not cut a very heroic
figure the political stage today. In
the first case when the anti-gamblmg
bills were pending he was so uncertain of
his own mind that he referred the ques-

him TO do SO. Then when the bills were

by his one vote. and the margin was still
close, instead of voting as he should have
done with the governor. in accordance
with the real intentions of the sender of
that much discussed telegram, he voted
with the opposition and thus left to sick
man the glory and responsibility of cast
ing the deciding vote in favor of reform.
Cassidy's Independent canvass for the
state senate will lend additional interest
to the campaign in New York state. The
whole issue there turns upon the gov
ernor's program of REFORM and it may be
that Cassidy's revolt will serve through
out the state as an object lesson to pre-
vent any misunderstanding whatever re-
gardins the dominant question. There Is
much more at stake in New York today
than the political fortunes of Gov. Hughes
or Senator Owen Cassidy.

nigh priest of protection, had given his
name to the tariff bill enacted in 1890. and
was promising If elected President to
have the tariff revised on protection lines,

him.
Following Mr.. Mckinleys election,
new tariff bill. prepared under the di-
rection of Nelson Dinsley. another high
priest of protection. was passed by Con-
gress. and largely upon that measure Mr.
Mckinley offered himself for second
term. Mr. Cleveland's influence was
again thrown for the republican candi-
date. The tariff question did not hold
him back. The choice was again between
Iepublicanism and Organism, and Mr..
Cleveland again rejected Organism.
Whatever may be said of the letter in
question, it does Mr.. Clevelands memory
no outrage in the matter OF the senti-
ments expressed. 1t is inconceivable that

quite much as Mr.. Bryan himself,
made Mr.. Cleveland's support impossible.
The ex-President was of different school
altogether.
AS for the matter of the style of the
composition. that is for so-called experts.
Mr. Cleveland was in poor health at the
time the letter is said to have been writ
ten. and it is suggested that his enfeebled
condition may have made his expression
a little labored and cloudy. But, as
fact, he usually labored when he took up
his pen. He thought in long words and
long sentences. and every formal deliver
ance seemed TO wear a ball and chain.
If this letter is bogus the fabricator has
made clever stagger at reproducing
very ponderous form of delivery.

Stray Shots at Oyster Bay.

1t may be true that the President was
recently in no danger whatever from a bull
lct fired by an assassin. 1t is altogether
probable that the denials issued by the
authorities at Oyster Bay are based upon
fact and that the President was menaced
merely by a stray shot from the gun of
hunter or target shooter. Be that as 1t
may. IL is certainly surprising to hear the
secretary to the President decry the
rHmors relative to this incident on the
score that stray bullets are floating around
in that vicinity so freely at this time of
year that there is no reason for sensa-
tional speculation when one of them hap
pens to sing by the presidential head
If. as Mr.. Loeb says. target shooting is
so common in the vicinity of Oyster Bay
that a stray ball is quite an everyday oc-
currence. surely there is only one thing to
do If the President continues to OCCUPY
thai part of the country as summer
residence. Some measures of persuasion
must be adopted Immediately to convince
the good people of that neighborhood that
promiscuous shooting is exceedingly bad
form 1t is unpleasant to contemplate
the possibilities of habit of firing at
marks without reference to the range and
course of the balls. These people may be
excellent marksmen. Propinquity works
wonders. and possibly the proximity of the
mighty hunter of Sycamore Hill has rem
dered the Long Islanders sure shots. Yet
occasionally their bullets will stray, and if
they are not particular about choosing
their firing ground accidents are likely to
happen.
An official denial ought to close all ave-
nucs OF speculation. and SO doubtless the
present one was intended to put stop to
The report that the Presidents life was
recently endangered. No one wants to
think of such potential tragedy as these
reports suggest. 1t is undesirable to have
the suggestion circulated that such "A thing
