a GARD FROM JOHN G. 1H0APSON
ITHICH ORA VS. BLOOD


CoEuMBus, Oct l7.-John G. Thomp-
son, Chair nan of the Democratic State
Executive Committee, requests the pub.
lication Of the following statement;
"The Republican daily press of this
State, on Friday morning last, published
dispatch signed, j, NJ. Thompson"
which purported to be In answer to one
claimed to have been sent from Il, S.
Dodd, Of Toledo, to John g. Thompson.
This dispatch was furnished to the Press
by the Republican Executive Committee,
and therefore they are responsible for
its publication; ! unhestatingly say
and charge that the Republican Commit
tee is aware Of the truth thereof that |
never sent such dispatch that | am not
aware that any such dispatch was sent
by any one else; and if it was, that
never saw il, or had anything to do with
forwarding it. The Republican Com
mittee has been guilty Of crime which
the laws of this State declare to be tlony &.
II such dispatch was never sent, then
they have perpetrated forgery, lfitwas
sent, there is but one way in which it
cJnId get into their possession, by theft.
1t was either stolen by them, or lhey
were accessory to the theft before or af-
ter it was committed, They can take
either horn Of the dilemma, If it is Tor
gerry TO write a name-and they have
written-then they have been guilty of
forgery. Fit is theft to steal a telegram
knowing the same to he stolen, then
they have been guilty of theft. leave
the character Of the crime to be deter
mined by the Committee, As TO the
Wood county frauds, The Republican
Committee is no doub, satisfied with
them, as the county has given an in
creased Republican majority.

THE MONEY OF THE WORLD BE.
COMESA COMMODITY ONCE MORE
New York Tribune, I4th.]


The question will perhaps be asked
how it is that the day after the great
money victory in Ohio the premium on
gold in Wall street is actually higher
than it has been in any previous October
since 1869 This problem we think it
we'll worth while for the business COM
munity to consider. In the first place
it is to be remarked that the premium on
gold is not such measure of the general
value ofpaper money as the yard stick is
Of length. Gold in Wall street is bought
and sold for greenbacks juest as cotton
or wheat. The prices Of all three de-
pend quite as much on the quantity Of
the commodity seeking a market as on
the quantity Of money. At the present
time it so happens that the quantity of
gold to be had in Wall street is less than
at any former period Hence gold is dear,
and bids fair for several weeks at least to
remain so
Not only is the price of gold subject to
the legitimate influences of supply and
demand. but it is also liable to vary with
the currents of speculation. Where the
speCulator accurately forecasts the future
relations Of demand and supply his ope-
rations are beneficial, but when he eworks
against the natural course of prices the
result is injurious both to the speCulator
and the community at large. Still the
speCulator, whether right or wrong, ex-
erts his full effect on prices.
However, we do not think the specu-
lators in gold are far out of the way at
the present time in keeping that article
at high price, for gold is very scarce and
the legal tender very plenty. Were gold
as abundant as it ordinarily is, the state
of our commercial and financial relations
with the rest of the world would cause
it to be exported. This conspicuously
was the case from November of last year
almost without interruption until the
end of July. AS contrasted with last year,
our exports of merchandise have again
greatly declined, while other imports
have fallen off in much smaller proper
ton. Our international relations of
credit have not essentially changed. If
the defeat of the rag money crowd i'm
proves the demand for our bonds abroad
it also makes them in more request at
home. The whole commercial world is
at present engaged in the depressing task
of reducing Indebtedness, and one of the
incidents Of that operation is a lower
scale of prices and the accumulation of
money in the hands of creditors and
creditor nations. This being a debtor
nation, there has been drain of specie
from US which has resulted in the home
market for gold being in the "oversold
and demoralzed" state it has been in
for the last three months.

made they must have upset stoves, tables, coal

street, but before she reached the sidewalk a
brawny arm appeared through the halfopen
door, and hand clutched the child's hair and
she was hauled in before she could say "scat "

took turns in sweeping out fragments of shattered
