The chief topic of conveisation to day about , the hotel lobbies was tlio sensational attempt at assas sination stoiy telcgiaphod tiom Now York. It has been discussed and denounced upon nil sides. The Associated Press correspond ent is advised that icports have been sent this evening to several papcis telling that the ntory had its foundation in the frequent trips alleged to have been made in the even ing during the campaign by General Harri son to Maplcton , tlio summer residence of Theodore P. Hnughoy , president of the In dianapolis National bunk , with whom , HO the story goes , General Hnirlson passed several nights , being accompanied by tin armed guard. Thcab orioneous statements having been i cpeatcd to a correspondent , are be lieved to have furnished ttio slim grounds for a concoction of the attempted assassina tion story. The facts are that General Harrison has not visited Maplcton in five years. It is true that he tins since the nomination received letters from "cranks , " but it is not known that any of them weio of a threatening chnracter.
