PROMINENT Democratic writer re-
ferring to the financial condition o.
Old Mexico, says: Mexico is floating 6
new loan in Europe. She is to pay
per cent. per annum interest on it,an6
she is to get only SO cents for each
dollar of it, which makes the interest
rate rather more than 7 per cent, to
say nothing Of having to pay at ma
turity 100 cents for every SO cents re-
ceived. This is what free coinage
without international agreement does
Tor any nation that elects to indulge
in that folly.
THERE seems to be a good deal OF
confusion in the minds of some as to
The result of the financial contest in
the Kentucky Democratic Convention.
The truth is that the vote on resolu-
tions, 647 to 233, in favor of sound
money and endorsing the financial
policy of Cleveland and Carlisle
showed the full strength of the 16 to l
free silverites in the convention. The
whole fight was made on that issue,
and the vote on the resolutions was an
exact showing of the numbers for and
against free silver.

That Challenge.
EDITOR BULLETrN:-

EDITOR BULLETIN:--
Noticing in this mornings ?. G. A.
considerable comment on the chal
lenge OF Tom Hollinger to match
Gerster against Silky and Nevada, I
consider, in justice to Hollinger and
the race-going people. that an ex-
plapation Of facts should be made,
and beg you for space to air my
views ia the matter.
Mr.. Hollinger's challenge was per-
fectly plain and the owners of Silky
and Nevada cannot help knowing it.
Hollinger asked in his challenge to
have Silky and Nevada handicapped
by drawing his weight OF 22Olbs.,
and that was the only way that
three. cornered race could be made
that would be a true race and Gers
ter have a square deal. S. r. Graham
could not see it ia that light, al
though he claims to he ready to "put
up" but not to "shut up" 1t is b
we'll established fact that when Tom
Hollinger talks race he means bust
ness. He has proven himself a
square sport and he has got no use
for any lob. work." When he saw
that his challenge didn't suit Graham
he made a match with Mr.. Ballen-
tyne, the owner Of Silky. The race
is for $500 q side, both horses to
draw the same weight. That fact
alone should convince the public
that he meant straight business and
that there was no bluff in his. Mr..
Graham calls Mr.. Hoilinger's chal.
lenge preposterous, but Mr.. Holm
ger has got the advantage Of back
ing his "preposterous" challenge
with good hard coin. All that is
desired by the owner OF Gerster is a
square deal and no fake, "news-
paper" or otherwise, and that was
plainly stated at the meeting yester-
day. II Gerster was matched to pull
the same weight as Nevada aud
Silky in a three-cornered race, it
would never have been race but it
would have been what the Honolulu
public has witnessed in the pasta
bare faced swindle. Silky would
have carried Gerster up in the first
heat TO the top OF her speed and
then Nevada would have gone at her
in the second heat and got in his
deadly work, and between the two
and their experienced drivers Gers
ter would have been in the Soup"
aud have no prospects OF winning
the race. Mr.. Hollinger knew enough
to steer clear OF such combination.
He wants an even show for his coin,
and he thinks he is getting it in the
race that he made yesterday with
Silky's owner. The two horses now
matched are to pull the same weight
and have about the same speed. II
Mr.. Graham thinks for a moment
that the owner OF Gerster is afraid
to match Nevada he is simply mis-.
taken. Mr.. Hollinger is afraid OF
"jobs" only and with his experiences
OF the past he can hardly be blamed
for being on his guard. IL Mr.
Graham will take free and gratis
advice / should suggest that he
keep Nevada in his training stable a
little longer. When Mr.. Hollinger
gets through with Silky he may &C,
commodate Nevada. SPORT.
