SHERMAN ON RIDPATH.
The HISTORIANS Claims Refuted by the
Ohio StafeSman.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PLAINFIELD, Ind, Oct. 30.-The night
or which John Clark Ridpath, the Popo-
cratic candidate for Congress, was here
he made the assertion that the words
standard dollar" were erased from the act
of 1873. This was excepted to by the Re-
publicans, but the Bryanites still insisted
that it was true, for the great historian
Mr.. Ridpath, would not make the assertion
unless it were true. In order to satisfy his
mind ON the subject. Prof. r. L. Kelly. of
Central Academy, wrote to John Sherman
asking him for the facts. Below is MIR.
Sherman's reply to the question:
Mansfield, O.. Oct. IS.
Dear Sir-Your note of the 21st is re-
ceived. There is not a word of truth in
the statement made by Mr.. Ridpath. No
such words as standard dollar were ever
inserted in the act of 1878 at any stage of
its progress, and therefore no erasure of
such words was ever made. 1t is simply
folly to suppose that it could have been
done without attracting attention.
Very truly yours JOHN SHERMAN
