IBI telegraph 10 ine New Ofk lFiNWU'sI
WASHINGTON. August 3i.-Thc Rcpubl-
cans have information that = corruption
fund has been raised by the Democrats 10
use in Ohio. and that the meaning OF their
still-hunt in that state is that they propose 10
try to carry the election by fraud. The fund.
IL is believed. comes largely from the brew
ers and dlsiillers and others interested IN the
temperance question. The Republicans have
for some time been conscious that the Demo
Gratis have planned TO DO underhand WORK IN
Ohio. but they have not been able to learn
exactly what their programme was. The
money campaign which the Bourbons are
conducting in the last days OF the Maine
campaign is TO he concentrated on Ohio
nom now until the October election. Tho
Democrats. apparently TO aid them in their
still-hunt, have adopted the policy OF not
making any claim TO carry Ohio. IN order
that the result might be OF more advantage
10 them II they should be able to carry the
State.
The Republicans, thus advised. are not
10 be caught mapping. The complaints that
have been made that the Republican State
Committee has had no funds, and that il
has been obliged even 10 borrow money Tor
it, postage-Stamps, have been in great
measure true. But the condition oi things
il 70 be changed. Money has within the
last two or three days been furnished 10 4
limited amount 10 the state Committee, and
there is reason to believe that within the
next few days the National Committee will
see to III that The state is supplied with money
enough to delray the expenses OF Is cam
paign orators. The Republican ntluagcrs
do not intend TO wait until after thu Maine
election to begin work in Ohio. THEY will
begin at once. They realize the importance
OF that State. and the danger OF the Insl-
dious methods TO whichthe Democrats have
planned TO resort. II is known that The
Democratic money will be disbur>ed by the
most experienced and unprincipled %
BourboDs, and that all Of the arts OF cor
rupt politics will be resorted to TO accom-
plish the desired result.
The Republicans, as soon ~ the Maine
election is over. will concentrate in OHIO
many Of the stump-speaiers OF national
reputation who are now in Maize. and the
centre Of political interests will In a short
tine be turned from Maine to Ohio.

Postal currency, which was tho "change'
during tho war and until the resumption OF
rtpecio payments, was the invention OF General
Spinner, who had represented tho syracuse
been appointed Treasurer Of the United states
by President Lincoln. Small change had van.
lehed, and In buying dinner I'm the market
change had TO be takon In beets, cabbages, po'
tatoes and what not.
General Spinner was constantly appealed to
from all quarters 70 do something to supply
the demand for small change. Ho had no law
under which he could act, but after buying q
receiving for his halfdoilar in change more
or less different kinds Of produce, no began to
cast around for substitute for small change.
In his dilemma he bethought himself OF the
postage stamp. He sent down TO the Postoflce
Department and purchased a quantity OF
stamps. lie then ordered up q package OF
the paper on which Government securities
wore printed. He cut the paper Into various
sizes. on the pieces he pasted stamps to
represent different amounts. lie thus init.
ated substitute for fractional silver.
THIS was not, however, q Government tran.
eaction In any sense; II could not be. General
spinner distributed his improvlsed currency
among the clerks OF the Department. They
took IL readily. The idea spread; tho postage
stamps, either detached or pasted upon piece
Oh paper, became tho medium OF small OK.
cnango, IL was dubbed "postal currency"
From this General spinner got his iden OF tho
with II.
That body readily adopted II, and but short
tlme after General Spinner had begun pasting
operations law was on the statute book pro-
viding for the Issue OF the fractional currency
which became so popular. The facsimile OF
postage stamps was put on each piece OF cur
roncy, and for long time It was known as
postal currency" An enormous amount
Government was consequently the gainer.-
