Lord Dunraven's statement pub
lished in the Field of London, yes-
terday, the synopsis OF which was
cabled here. They could not fina
words to express the contempt of
his latest action in the great inter-
national yachting fiasco. The de-
liberate insult to tho American
people, is declared one that could
not be passed over lightly. Some
members suggested ignoring the
statement entirely, being beneath
the notice Of gentlemen; others
suggested calling for the resigna-
ton OF his lordship from the club.
He was made a member in 1898,
the occasion OF the first challenge
for the American cup.

Field on Sunday will publish Lord
Dunraven's statement in full, in

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Times
commenting on Dunraven's state
meut says: The general impression
the statements will leave on
the minds of impartial per-
sons is that no effort, how
ever strenuous on the part OF
the cup trustees, could possibly SO.
cure a fair race under the condi.
tions on which they feel themselves
bound to insist.

SOUND REPUBLICAN ADVICE.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 9.-Hon.
George l.. Wellington, speaking of
Tuesdays elections, said today ::
"The first mission of the repub-
lican party in Maryland must be
ito enact law to guarantee that
every voter of this state shall have
q vote which shall be honestly
counted and properly returned.
We must keep our promises and II
we do the democrats who were
with US this year will stay with US
for years to come"
A prominent democrat smiled
when told the above, and said: "The
republicans are more likely to keep
Maryland in the &. o. P. column
through a continuation Of the des.
potic power given them under our
present laws, than by weaving over
a lot of democrats through reform
legislation. Republicans have SUI
fered these many years because of
the unusual power given to our
chief executive. With the first OPP
portunity before them of using
that power for perpetuation Of re-
publicaniSm, is it reasonable to ex-
pect that they will throw it away?
No, they will much more likely,de
spite what Mr.. Wellington says,
give us taste OF our own medi-
cine"
THEY WANT MEN WITH THEM.
