Cleveland Plaindealer says: 1.-The Cincin-

man had stated TO some one last fall that he
(Thurmanl had kept large balance on de-
post In New York, on Wall street, under
the control of his broker for the purpose of
speculeting; that he did not himself do any
thing but direct the investment. Having
recently met Senator Thurman, we are re-
quested to say that he never made such a
statement TO any one, and are further au-
thoriZed TO say that he never speculated in
stocks to the amount Of one dollar, though
he has purchased stocks, as have other men :,
as Investments. The Senator for two years
past has not had, at any time, to exceed 800
on deposit with any bank, banking house,
broker or banker, In New York, and never
employed broker in New York in his life
and has not owned a dollars worth OF gov
eminent securities since 1867"
