worlds record reduced the record on
the track of the Columbus Driving as
sociation to-day. The track was re-
Gently carefully remeasured by an en-
,gineer to set aside charges that it was
a short mile, and was found to be two
feet over mile. 1t was almost o'clock
when Gentry was brought out for a
preliminary warming UP for the at
tempt to break his own record and
the worlds record for pacing stations
--2:O31a.
The track was heavy from the rain
of last night, and it was not expected
that he would succeed. The other races
of the afternoon had, however, greatly
improved the tracks condition. Two
or three miles were paced at lively
clip, the great crowds cheering Gentry
enthusiastically. Billy Andrews drove
him and when he was ready for the
start John Dickerman, with his run
ming horse, went to the half to pace
him in.
The second time he came UP to the
line Andrews gave the nod and was
away. Down the first quarter he flew
like an arrow, but the watches showed
that he had consumed 311a seconds in
reaching that post Hope Of breaking
the record fell faster as the watches in

half Then the effect of the pacemak-

and he made the third quarter in 291a.
Down the homestretch the horses came
like the wind and it was evident that
Gentry was pushing the record very
close Great cheers went up from the
grand stand at the magnificent exhibit
tion of speed at the finish, and they
rose again when the time was hung
out and 1T was officially announced
that Gentry had broken his record and
reduced the worlds stallion pacing rec

GEomG1A,s Pop CONVENTION.
Seaborn Augustus Wright Nominated for
Governor.


Atlanta Ga, Aug. 7-Seaborn Angus
tus Wright was nominated by acclama-
tion for governor by the state populis-
tic convention this morning. No other
name was put up. The triumph of
Wright was victory for the fusionists
and he will make the race on prohibit
ton. The defeat of the middle Oft the
readers, who opposed an extreme dec
laration in favor Of prohibition, and
who were opposed to going outside Of
the party for candidate, was COM
Dlete.
Mr. Wright is successful lawyer Of
Rome. He is thirty-six years old and
a brilliant orator.
For comptroller General s. ]. Bell
was named; for commissioner of agri-
culture, W. L. Smith; for treasurer W.
c. Sibley. The platform declares for
prohibition and endorses the st. Louis
convention. No action was taken re-

F0R THE GoELEr CUPS.
Colonia and Queen Nab Win I'm Their
Respective Classes.

Newport, r. l., Aug. ITO day prov
ed an excellent one for the Goelet cup
races, in fact the racing was the best
done for the cups in years and Colonia
and Queen Nab are winners Of the
cups. There We're no big single-stickers
to attract attention. so the schooners
everybody. There were but three
sloops and one of them was so much
larger than the other two that a close
contest from them could not be looked
for.
The start was made by the sloops at
1:05 in the order named: Wasp, Queen
Nab and Carmita. Just as the Wasp
was going over the steam yacht Viking,
which was drifting with the tide, ran
into her, pol1ing her bowsprit through
the mainsail
The steamer also suffered the loss of
that spar by its coming in contact with
the Wasp's boom. The yacht was laid
over so that a man could be laid out on
her sail. Wasp succeeded in patching
the eight-foot tear SO that it lasted
throughout the race, yet all the way
around her sail bagged, and the boom

Had it not been for the delay at the
start and the consequent drawback of
poor setting sail Mr.. Lippitt is of
opinion that he would have won the
cup Queen Nab and Carnita carried
close topsails while Wasp carried her
working sails The schooners crossed
as fellows:

sette parted her throat halyards just
as she was about to cross, but could
not make repairs in time to cross be-
fore the handicap gun. Colonfa wealth
cred all yachts on the second tack.
Queen Nab took short tacks along
shore to get advantage Of the tide. The
fog shut down and shut the yachts
out Of view from the press boat for an
hour.
Colonia turned at 1:39, but made a
mess of setting her spinnaker, requiring
3 minutes and 20 seconds for the work.
Queen Nab turned at 1:47. Wasp and
Emerald had a pretty fight, which re-
suited in Wasp blanketing by pretty
piece Of seamanship and rounding at
1:51:01 Emerald 1:51:20. Anlorita made
a beautiful show of rounding and set
ting her spinnaker. The run to the
second stakeboat was rapid one, but
there Colonia made another horrible
showing in taking in her spinnaker.
The boom dropped in the water and she
had to luff up to take 1t aboard; then
1T fouled the foresheet and more time
was lost. The time. SO far as could be
taken was: Emerald 3:45:a6: Queen
Nab 3:47:05; Amoiita 3.52:20; Wasp
4:43:29
The reach home was uneventful and
the yachts arrived in the harbor Just
as a thunder storm struck the city.
The summary follows.

SENATOR HILL VIII NOT PRESIDE

Albany. Aug. 7.-Senator Hill arrived
at his home in this city this afternoon.
1t can be authoritatively stated that he
will not preside at the Bryan and Sew
all ratification meeting in Madison
Square Garden, New York, on Wednes-
day next, and that all statements ap-
pearing in the public prints that SEN
ator Hill is about to declare for the
Bryan ticket or against it are without
foundation. He has made no express

Chicago, and is not likely to do SO until

LIKE A HOSTILE ARMY.

For picturesque features. the Lead
vile strike exceeds all other labor
troubles of the present decade. Late
dispatches say that the mine operators
in their efforts to protect the non-union
miners from the strikers, are building
fences around the mines. One of them,
which incloSes the hex group, will
be a mile in circumference and bullet
proof. Within this Enclosure the miners
who are willing to work at the present
prices must remain. The houses owned
by the strikers, which happen to be
inside the fence, will be bought by the
mine operators and the strikers fam
lilies elected. To put a stop to the
guerrilla warfare that is being carried
on in the mountains, it Is proposed to
put two immense search-lights in such
positions that any part of the sur
rounding country can be illuminated in
an instant. Armed bodies of men are
frequently seen in the vicinity Of the
mines and are believed to be hurrying
toward Leadville to aid the strikers.
Some romancist should hasten to Lead
vile with his pencil and notebook.

ANOTHER DENIAL

The London Financial News has de-
MED for second time that il ever pub
lished an article, such as has been
circulated by the silver men and credit
ed to that journal, showing how the
free coinage Of silver would benefit the
United States and injure Great Britain.
The second denial is published in the
Issue Of the Financial News OF Sep
TENDER II, and is as follows:
In our issue of August 13 we took occa-
sion TO refer TO the circulation in the
American newspapers of an article en-
titled THE Grip of Cold" purpo-ting 10

THE KANSAS SITUATION.

The Leavenworth Times makes a
summingup Of the indications in Kan
sas, and calls attention to the fact that
only a few weeks ago the Popocrats
were claiming the state by a safe ma
jority, but that within very few days
they have found 1t necessary to make
arrangements TO run Mr.. Bryan
through the state This last fact clear
~ enough indicates how the Pop lead
ers feel. AS for how the real Demo
Gratis feel. there are none in the state,
at least they have no ticket In the field,
and they probably have no particular
feeling on the subject. The book
makers whose business iSgambhng and
who make their money by being on the
winning side. are offering TO take even
bets on Kansas going Republican.
That means that they have figured it
out to their own satisfaction that the
chances are in favor OF the state going
Republican, otherwise they would have
no margin. This conclusion harmon
ICES with the pollings and other in
formations in the hands of the state
central committee. The nearer the
time Of the election the more evident
does it become that the people of Kan
sss want no further experiences with
Popism.
The Times concludes its observations
by saying that the number of free sill
yer Republicans who will vote for the
opposition is small, and IL includes only
one or two men Of conspicuous name or
influence. The detection in the Re
publican party in Kansas has been
much exaggerated by the Demopops
But what about the detection on the
other side? We say nothing OF the
Watson squabble. There are hosts,
multitudes Of Democrats who will vote
for Mckinley. Their number must eX-
coed the number OF revolving Republi-
cans many times And they include
the men OF light and leading; the men
who have been the backbone of Dem
ocracy; the men who carry with them
a large following. In Leavenworth,
1t Is not one or two. but almost every
Democrat who had influence AMI pres
tige viii vote against Bryan. We be-
heve it is so largely in every other
part Of the state.

TOPEKA is so SORRYr)

Topeka, having played the degener-
ate and successfully concluded a big
paying carnival Of extravagancies, in
Guiding an all around drunk, and there
being no more money to be made out
of the spree, Is now taken with a
spasm of virtue. The Capital, which
admitted at the time that everything
was running wide open, and expressed
surprise that there was so little evil
dence of intoXication TO be seen on
the streets, now that there is no one
left to fleece, sets up hypocridcal
wall Of regret that Topeka should have
thus prostituted herself. There was
no squealing or kicking, it will be OBJ
served, so long as the fun went on.
The outrage was not in the thing itself
but in the name OF it. The disgrace Of
it is in being found out The Cap
italis protest will fool nobody. That
paper knows that if it had been
thoroughly understood throughout the
state that their carnival was not to
be a carnival in fact, but only a nice,
innocent Sunday school parade, with
nothing on the side, that nobody would
have gone to Topeka, and there would
have been no drinking about which the
Capital or anyone else could complain,
except such drinking as the people OF
Topeka might have INDUCED in at their
own expense. The Capital thinks that
it would have been much nicer If only
back-doors, cellars and garrets had
been utilized for imIbibing. 1t Is some
peoples idea that there is no sin which
can be successfully squlked and lied
out Of. Such a standard of morals
may dazzle the world and relieve the
of the hypocrite, but the
devil kangaroos a double slimmersault
and lights on the point Of his tail in
glee every time he witnesses it. The |
pulpits Of Topeka ought, by next SUM-
day, to follow the lead Of the virtuous |
and indignant Capital in bewailing the |
drawing card Of the carnival, follow
ing up the protest with another state |
temperance convention to be addressed !
by preachers from wicked Wichita.

SOUND MONEY CONCLUSIONS.

To talk gold too stoutly is to be for
the goldbugs, Palmer and Buckner, is
to be for poverty for the poor and the
pelf for the plutocrat. If for unlimit-
ed silver you cry, you can only be set
down for Bryan, for deprecated cur
rency and reputation. If you talk
for neither gold or silver you are sure
Pop-fatist and are favoring wild-eycd
crookedness and downright dishonesty.
The way to do the thing is to hold to
Republican bimetallism, that is for a
ratio Of Is Of silver to 1 Of gold, that
is for 16 times as much silver as gold
put into money, the dollars of each TO
be about equal in number, and every
thing level-headed. This is the safe
ard conservative conclusion reached
afr blindness has resulted from read
ing tons of literature on the subject
and after listening to talk until deaf
mes has ensued. AS for anything else
there is nothing else, unless it be the
nickel for the slot, and paper promises
to pay redeemable in the coin Of the
realm. All the rest is nonsense, and
all further talk foolishnesS. Palmer
and Buckner are on no awful strain
and are not counting on being elected.
Bryan admits that his election would
be followed by panic, such as this
country never experienced. Nobody
wants any more panics in theirs.
There is only left to vote for Mckinley,
confidence and prosperity. Every
thing then will sift out about as you
would have it, and while nobody will
be hurt everybody will feel better.
Don't you think?

HUTCHINSON SALT.

Let the man who thinks protection does
not aid the laboring man or the farmer
read and ponder on this: Under the Nc
Kinley law the salt plants at Hutchinson
employed nearly two thousand men. Tn
der the present law 40 men are at work.
Under the Mckinley tariff law the wages
paid each month to the employees amount
ed to $500. Every dollar OF those
wages went to local merchants who paid
the farmers for their produce that was
consumed by the wofkmen and their fam
lies. Under tbs Democratic tariff law
at the present time the wages paid amount
TO SIS 40 Q month Q decrease Of moro than
fifty-seven Thousand dollars a month In
wages IN one town in Kansas caused
wholly and entirely by the change from .
Republican to q Democratic tariff. The
man who says that a Republican tariff is
not a good thing for the laboring man Is
either dishonest, or he has not mental
power suficient to bring him up to q
realization Of facts that are so clear that
they require no demonstration.-Lawr
