When Seymour aud Blair were nominated,
gold rose and Government securities fell three
per cent within one day. For six weeks after
Seymours nomination. and before the Repub-
hcan party had begun to develop its power
and enthusiasm, gold ranged at 140 to III.
Immediately after the October elections gold
fell to 134. In other words, the certainty of
Grants election lowers the price of gold or
advances the value of currency and private
