COLUMBUS, October l5.-'The following
decisive dispatch has been published by
lion. John q. Thompson in response to
the card Of the Republican Committee:
Hon. H. b. Wright, Chairman Of The Demo

Committee, In which am charged with
willful Justification when asserted that

nor Of Ohio. Our defeat was the
result OF the most lavish expenditures
OF money which ever characterized n
political contest, the colonization Of
fraudulent voters, and the introduction
Of the false issuO on the public schools,
which excite the prejudices and bigotry
Of religious hate.
The denial Is marked by the same sub
terfuge which has been practiced by
the Republican Executive Committee
throughout the contest when IL has ap.
peared in public. 1t will be observed
that the denial il only given to that part
Of my dispatch which refers to the frauds
perpctrated and the lavish expenditure
Of money, and this Is qualified by the
contemplate ruse that tho Republic
ans Of The State Of Ohio had not
contributed The money for corruption
| am aware Of the fact that the Republi.
cans Of this State contributed scarcely q
tithe OF the money used, and the qualiii'
cations Of the Committee are weak in
vcntion. Iunhesitatingly reasscrt every
statement Of my dispatch. The Repub-
lican Executive Committee, like all par
ties who commit crime, or are accessory
thereto, renlilizc the infamy, and, like the
criminals, are quick in denial. A thieI
or a murderer pleads not guilty wler
arrAigncd. Would this Republican Ex-
eCutive Committee do, ,less2
