ance. The time record is definitely fixed.
although something depends upon the con-
dition of the track. A bicyclIst can even
more surely perform on the basis of an
exact standard. But the yacht which can
sail fifteen miles an hour today may not
be able to sail five tomorrow, according as
the weather and tide conditions change.
Nor can any correct estimate be made as
to the precise rela ton between the condi-
tons under which the respective yachts
sail on their preliminary tests on the two
sides of the ocean. A difference of a few
pounds of wind pressure beyond accurate
measurement may mark the difference in
performance. The only means of estimat-
ing the relative qualities of the competitors
for the cup is by means of their perform
ances against yachts on their own sides
whose best achievements are now known.
If Shamrock shall beat Britannia very
badly, Britannia having been beaten by
Valkyrie III, she will show a margin of
capacity to cope with the yacht which has
beaten Defender, which beat valkyrie Ill
Consequently the forthcoming races In En-
gifsh waters between the new challenger
and the older yacht will be watched with
the keenest interest by both nations.

The Kentucky Republican s.

The republicans of kentucky will meet in
convention at Lexington on Wednesday to
nominate a full state ticket. The prospect
is for speedy discharge of the duty Sen
timent in the primaries has strongly indi-
Gated the nomination of Attorney General
Taylor for governor, and no serious con-
tests are likely to be made over any of the
subordinate places No divisions appear as
to the platform which. in its national bear
ing. will be strictly in line with the party's
record and professions.
Ordinarily. the outlook would be very
promising for republican success. Mr.. Tay-
Ior is filling his present office with ability,
and is described as an estimabIe and at
tractive man. He is a native of the state.
The democrats are in bitter snarl over
their nomination for governor. Mr.. Goebers
success many members of the party them
selves publicly declare, was obtained by
wholly indefensible means. The ordinary
trickery practiced at conventions was in
this case supplemented by force and vio-
lence in Mr. CoebeTs behalf and Captain
Stone, one of the defeated candidates
charges over his signature Mr.. Goebel with
falsehood giving particulars. Some of the
strongest democrats in the state reject Mr..
GoebeIs nomination
But the republicans, although apparently
IN good agreement as to Mr.. Taylor. are
not without their own fractional differences.
These began Immediately after they carried
the state in 1895. Instead of buckling down
to united effort to redeem all their cam
paign promises, they divided at once into
two factions. the Bradley faction and the
Hunter faction. and began fighting each
other over the spoils- Gov. Bradley defeat
ed DIR. Hunter for United States senator to
succeed Mr. Blackburn. and DIR. Hunter
and his friends in return have made it warm
for the governor ever since. Mr.. Taylor be-
longs TO the Hunterites. and. although the
Bradieyites are not numerous their cordial
support Will be essential to success even
with the democracy divided. VIII Mr.. Tay-
Ior receive it,
An effort was made to enlist the national
administration in the republican primaries,
but il did not succeed. Mr. Taylor's advan-
tage has been secured without any aid or
direction from Washington.

suggestive pye-EIection. in ENGLAND

Unusual interest attaches to the bye-elec-
lions held last week In England to fill par
hamentary vacancies. The conservative
party received in the results OF those cleo
tons distinct warning that the liberals.
despite the lack of aggressive leaders and
definite policies. are holding together and
are gaining ground AT Oldham the con-
servatiyes lost two seats in the face of the

after resigning TO test the sentiments of his
constituents, over an independent liberia,

no conservative candidate. although at the
last election Sir John Austin was chosen
over his conservative opponent by less than

Reports of the performances of the yacht
Shamrock which has been under preimi-
nary trial in English waters for the past
few days, show that the enthusiasm of the
yachtsmen on that side is aroused to an
exceptional pitch. Everybody agrees that
she Is a remarkable boat, answering finely
to her helm, making the best of way
through all sorts of water ard in all kinds
of winds, and in general giving evidence of
such ability as the task. before her of maxi

quent failures. Meanwhile there is per-
haps a slight waning of the enthusiasm
on this side over Columbia, which has bare
iy been able in the last two races with De-
fender to make good her reputation of be-
ing a better boat. That she is better how
ever. seems accepted. The only question in
American minds is whether she is enough
better to give her safe margin over any
surprises Sir Thomas Lipton's creation may
spring. Herein lies one of the qualities
Of yachting which appeals so strongly to
the imagination and which consequently
gives that sport such firm hold upon the
affections Of men. The element of uncer-
'ainty which must pertain to sport In any
form to mako IT attractive is large fac
tor. So much depends in yachting upon
the wind, the tides. the sea and the charac-
ter of the course that there is no means of
estimating the comparative qualities of
competitors until they hava actually come
together in contest. y race horse can
demonstrate his speed by beating or fall

The Ohio Campaign.

The liveliest interest attaches to the now
confessed candidacy of Mr.. Mclean for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Ohio. He is a shrewd man of politics. as
we'll as of business. He is too old a cam
paigner to go in merely for the excitement
of the thing. He is ambitious and has long
desired public office The belief therefore
is that. after careful examination of the
situation, he has persuaded himself that the
democratic nomination in Ohio this year
will be equivalent to election. What is it
that gives him this confidence?
One answer is that the republicans have
put themselves in peril by reason of their
bitter fractional fighting. But have they?
Judge Nash. their candidate for governor,
is a clean and exceptionally able man.
There warm contest over the nomi-
nation. but he won fairly and easily And
now that he is the nominee why should
any republican leader oppose him? Mr..
Hanna and Mr. Cox, who Were his principal
sponsors in the convention. will of course
exert themselves in his behalf. Mr.. For
aker's personal interests demand that he
shall do So Cincinnati is his home, as it is
also the legal home, so-called. of Mr.. Nc
Lean. Mr. Foraker could not contribute,
even indirectly, TO the ascendancy of Mr..
Mclean in Ohio affairs without injuring
himself. Besides there is no good author
ity for questioning the senator's loyalty to
his party. AS much cannot be said for Mr..
Kurtz of Columbus. But as Columbus is
the home also of Judge Nash, that city and
that section of the state may be expected
through local pride to do him no injustice.
And so, where does hope spring from fac
tionalism?
Another explanation OF Mr.. McLean's con-
fidence seems worthier of attention This
is that the democrats are counting on large
accessions to their ranks everywhere this
year from the German-Americans. some of
whom here and there have charged the adj
ministration with too strong a leaning to-
ward England. They have been particu-
larry outspoken since Captain Coghlans
after-dinner speech in New York, poking
bit of fun at the kaiser. and are preparing,
it is reported, to vote the democratic ticket
at the next election. There are a good
many German Americans in Ohio, and they
are particularly strong in Cincinnati and
Hamilton county. The great majority of
them, however. have been voting the repub-
lican tickets. and especially in campaigns
where the money issue was prominent. The
German vote, so-called. of Ohio swept Cen
eral Tom Ewing, a greenback champion,
into oblivion in 1879 and assisted in sweep
ing General Garfield into the White House
on the money issue in 1880 Can it reason
ably be expected to support this year man
who has been a greenback champion and
