The Associated Press.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
takes up the charges against the Ass0cl-
ated press in regard to election returns
and treats the matter very much the
same as the Inter Ocean did. The truth
is, there never were CHARGES more cause
less than those made against that assO-
citation, whose aims and desires are to
be impartial, and in whose control the
Democrats have equal voice with Repub.
leans. The Commercial Gazette says:
"The amount Of. ignorance that the
Democratic newspapers are showing
about their own business is very remark
able. and is only accountable upon the
presumption that there is much malice
mixed with their transformation.
Take the case of the Associated Press.
1t is an organization that is under the
direction of men of both parties, and its
vital principle is impartialty in the
gathering and transmission of news.
And it happens that the majorities of its
executive committees and its employees,
ist and west, are at this moment Dem
Ocrats.
There was no other organization that
had made the arrangements to secure
accuracy of reports like those of the As
ISOLATED Press, and their figures became
the standard of comparison and the
highest authority fem the moment that
serious dispute arose.
The violent Democratic assaults upon
the Associated Press are proofs of Demo-
cratic dishonesty. The Democratic man
ayers when denouncing the Associated
Press and claiming 5000 plurality for
Cleveland in New York knew themselves
to be making claims that could not be
substantiated.
And yet they made those claims with
the same threatening ferOeity that they
had 5000 then that they insist upon one
quarter of that number at this time.
The Associated Press is the largest
customer of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company; has contract with the
company for the transmission OF a speci-
fed amount of matter within given
hours between particular places for
certain sum.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has no more to do with the prepar-
alton of the matter that goes over the
wires, under the contract with the Asso-
eiated Press, than it has with the wri-
ting of the private dispatches it carries
no more than the miller who grinSs
wheat has with the growing of the grain.
If the grist is nasty when it is brought
to the mill it Is not the miller's fault IL
the flour is unwholesome.
Mr.. Jay Gould is the largest stOckhold-
er of the Western Union Telegraph COM
Yany-an institution far superior to the
postal service monopoly Of the govern
ment of England-and the presumption
Is, that with his accustomed Intelligent
activity he has an influence upon its
management. But the imputation that
he controls the rivers of news that flow
over the Western Union wires is the stu
pedest nonsense possible,

Washington Monument.
Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12--The Washing
ton monument to-day reached greater
height than that of any other structure
in the world. being $40 feet and 10 inch
es above the floor of the monument. The
next highest structure is the spire of the
Cologne Cathedral, which towers 515
feet above the floor of the building. 1t
will take twenty-five years to complete
the monument. The cOpestone has been
completed several days. The top is cut
off to let in copper socket to which the
lightning rod will be attached. Scores
of people 60 daily and mount this stone
in order to say they stood OH the cap of
the monument. 1t will be put in place
this way: when only nine more stones
are wanted to reach the summit little
platform will be built around the roof
which will be finished up to that point.
This platform will be bracketed to large
timbers extending along the outside sur
face Of the roof and resting upon the
large platform which can be seen at the
top of the shaft proper on the outside.
The nine stones needed to complete the
work will be hoisted by the big boom,
which is now at work and placed on the
platform. Tho mast and boom and the
whole hosting apparatus will be taken
down and entirely removed. In its
place will be erected a quadrHpOd, tho
base resting upon the little platform re-
ferred to. At the apex of this quadru-
pod, which will be directly above the To-
catien of the capstone, will be block
and tackle by which the remaining
stones will be raised and put in place.
After the stones are all up the quadru-
pod will be removed, then the bracketed
platform and lastly the heavy timbers
which support it. The men will reach
the large platform by means of the lad
der. The work will then be completed
with the exception of removing the
large platform. Its timbers will be
taken in at the windows. the last man
on the outside entering one of the per-
manent windows on the east side, and
the iron beams which supported the
the platform will be drawn In, and the
holes which were left for them to pass
through will be replaced by marble
blocks and everything will be finished.

TO STAR reporter this afternoon that things

OF MI. Lewis" said Mr. Wright ut may not be
true, but parties have brought me Information that
Lewis was seen In town last night In charge OF a
colored man, and drunk Everything Indicates TO
me that Lewis has gone on q spree" Mr. Wright
stated, In reference TO his business with
Lewis, that Lewis took him into partnership
last January, and the ONCE at the corner Of l5ih
and streets was opened. The money handed by
MI. Wright was deposited through Lewis and Nr
wright drew his checks on Lewis So, upon Mr..
Lewis departure, Mt. Wright had no way OF get
ting at the money. He made settlements with some
customers out OF his private funds, and says that
X MI. Lewis does not return he Will devote all
his private means to settling his accounts.
MI. Wright saws that he viii be one
OF the heaviest losers and his rather who Is inter-
eGteo only as an investor, will be q heavy loser.
When asked about the extent OF the business he said
tnat the nrm OF w. I. j. Wright Co were carrying
ABOUT 10000 barrels representing about $4,000 due
70 customers The business at the other
once, conducted by Lewis was much larger
put he did not know how much so
lar as Lewis books had been examined
sney appeared perfectly straight When he drew
ais checks for $4,000 Saturday TO pay credits 10
customers Mr. Lewis followed his usual custom. He
would ordinarily have drawn on his New York
brokers' Monday for the amount and made a de-
poSit, but as he got drunk sunday he did not do
tnis and consequently some OF the checks were
not paid.
