LORD DuNRAVsN'S CHALLENGE.
Il Is Duly Posted In New York-His
New Yacht.


NEW YORK, December S.--Lord Dun
ravens letter and challenge for the
Americas Cup were posted on the bulle-
tin-board Of the New York Yacht Club
n few minutes before midnight tonight.
The challenge IS virtually the same as
that sent by Dunraven In 1892 The new
yacht will bear the same name as the
Vast challenger. Nalkyrie. which was de-
ieated by the Nigilant in October. 1888,
md afterwards went to the bottom or the
Clyde. Lord Dunraven's new boat Will
be a cutter. eighty-nine feet on the
brOad-water line, or practically the largest
sngle-sticker which can compete for
M cup under the terms OF the deed OF
gift. In all probability she will differ
but slightly ia her lines from those Of
the old Nalkyrie.
Lord Dunravcn, In his letter, suggests
several slight changes in the rules from
those which governed the last contest.
but he does not insist upon any positive
changes. lie asks that the ten-months'
time rule he waived, so that the races
may b. sailed earlier than October, and
he prefers he one-gun start. He also
asks that all windward and leeward
races be started to windward.
No member Of the Cup Committee was
yr sent this evening when Dunraven's
letter reached the clubhouse, and no
official opinion IS obtainable. but there
IS no question as TO the acceptance of
the challenge by the Cup Committee

The interest of the people
is plain. They havs but to
meet together this year, as
heretofore, in their primary
and higher conventions, and
nominate for Office the men
i,f their ch Dice, and then elect
them. The Democratic par-
ty has shown its capacIty to
govern Moth Carolina aud
no other party ever has. 1t
has the confidence of the pee
pie because i. deserves to
have it, and it has but to-
pursue it's usual policy OF
nominating good and nc
ceptable men for the Offices
and the voters will, ais here
tofore, do the rest. There is
nothing WI ong with the Dem
ocratic party and the people
never yet dislodged from

to do right and did do right

crat. The Democratic lion
is even now awaking and

IoliGa Democrat in Congress
has done and is dong every
thing in his power to pro-
mote the cause of silver?
While it is true General Ran
som in the Senate and Mr..
Bum in the House, following
the national platform and
listening to the appeals Of
every champer of commerce
and numerous business inter-
est Of the South, voted for
the repeal OF the purchasing
clause. OF the Sherman act,
believing with thousands Of
the best men in the South
that this would bring relief,
yet, after it's repeal and the
relief failed to materialize at
the first opportunity they
voted fol the Bland seignior-
age bill, and after itssuccess-
ful passage used all their per-
sonal influence and powers
OF persuasion to induce the
President to sign and make
It a law, thus cling them
selves ON record as true
friends OF silver. Therefore
with a delegation in the ma
tional Congress, in all things
true to their States best in
terest, presenting q solid
frontfor iree coinage ofsilver,

everything vital to our best
interest, to lose. il bya divl-
