continued Mr.. Sherman, their sale was
and Is open 10 all the world on tho
same terms. Every National bank Was
invited by public advertisement, often
repeated, and sent in circulars to every
bank and banker in the United States

lie repositories ior the sale Of these

tions made by them or through them by
any person whatever, would be received

Not one dollar was deposited by the
Treasury with either the First National
Bank or any other bank on account OF

Thurman's Quandary.
W,sHINGToN, December -. There is
All earnest controversy going on among
the Democrats, upon the question oi
obliging Senator Thurman % accept the
nomination for Governor of Ohio. He
still strongly opposes it, ami in reply is
told that II he " not willing to risk
anything for the party he cannot expect
support from the Ohio Democrats in the
next national convention. One of the
latest complications In the matter for
Thurman, appears to be that the soft
money Democrats are joining in
the demand that he shall run,
not because they like him, but
because they think his sudden
adoption Of greenback views before
the last campaign may enable him TO
run best on q moderate Grocnback
platform, which II is their purpose {"
insist upon in the state convention,
Many oi Thurman's friends declare,
however, that he cannot afford Ia run
on II soft money platform, and shall not,
since tn do that in advance oi the
national convention would turn the
whole m0nied power Of the Eastern
Democracy against him in the national
convention. Hewevcr indications now
are that Thurman will be- Obliged TO
yield To the pressure, and agree I" ar-
cept the nomination il decided best 4"
make it. The greatest trouble now be
fore Thurman's friends il that the East
ern Democrats appear t0 he rapidly
coming together upon Bayarl II, their
candidate.
