The dlspatches from London confirming the re-
nor, tina, SIR George Newnes will enter
Yacht for the Americas Cup gives much satisfac-
lion in New-York yachting circles. Nothing has
been heard on the subject by the Yacht Club and
no one wonders at that because TO challenge for
the coveted cup is not a matter OF moment. 1t
requires much preliminary correspondence ana
much advance work but the fact that prom
,nent yachtsman like Sir George Newnes looks In
the direction OF the cup at this time Is source
OF pleasure TO the members OF the New-York Yacht
club because IL assures them that their action In
the Dunraven case has not injured the chances
for an international contest ~
The Uendersons OF Glasgow, who building
the poss:be cup challenger will say nothing about
the construction Of their new creation, ana the
Newnes Yacht will be the subject of speculation
among yschtsrncn until she leaves the blocks. IL
looks as n she would have a competitor Tor the
Mace as challenger I'm 1896 In the other Henderson
craft which Will be owned by the German Emperor
and Lord Lonsdale.

Ed. PosT: The decision you have

will permit few lines from me. II
it were not for the fact that demo.
cratic sheets are being used in favor
OF one candidate on the silent un-
derstanding that republican news
papers according to custom shall
say nothing in primary campaigns, |
would oppose the idea that republi-
can newspapers should take part.
Under the circumstances, it became
party issue aud tho course of the
Posr and the Herald is commend
ed by loyal republicans in every part
OF our county. The charge has
been made in Mr.. Hummels mouth
piece, j. G. Lesher's democratic
Times, that DR.. Wagenseller assist
cd in securing the appointment OF j.
A. Lumbard at Washington. The
Doctors affidavit as we'll az letter
from Congressman Mahon denies
the charge. Everybody knows that
tho appointment was an unpopular
one and that the mere mention of
Lumbard's name is enough to mako
any voter turn against a candidate.
This false charge has been used by
Lesher in behalf of Hummel. Mr..
Lesher knew it was false, but know
ing that Lumbard was as unpopular
with republicane as Lesher is with
the Democrats, he used it with de-
signing motives.
Now, Mr.. Lesher, DIR. Wagenseller
has proven by conclusive evidence
that he had nothing to do with the
