Oftho Broken Bnnk Nuke, n Statement
to the Directors.
New YoRK, May I-Captain Ambrose
Snow, a Director Of the Marine bank said
this afternoon: t;5
"An informal meeting Of the directors Of
the bank WAS held to.dsy in the private
office Of President Fish, over the bank, to
talk over the situation. At the the request
OF the board President Fish wes present and
made statement OF the causes which
induced him to. close the bank. Mr., Fish
stated he had come to the conclusion that
Ferdinand Ward had deceived him, and
was an unmitigated scoundrel, and finding
that his delalcations amounted to $3.50, 900
he mad decided that the bes. thing 10 do
WAS to close the bank and save it from utter
failure. He also stated that be and other
members Of his family owned thtee.q aart.
ers OF the stock Of the bank. Captain SNOW
said the directors had always had the
greatest confidence in President Fish's
honesty and integrity, and they still held
the same opinion. They only regretted
that Fish had not called meeting Of the
Board and submitted matters to them bs.
fore he so hastily decided to close the doors
Of the bank. e. ~
They thought he lacked good judgment
in taking such hasty action. He stated al.
so, the bank would soon be able to resume
business, and none Of the depositora would
lose a cent, =

Although Ward was in his office to-day,
he refused to make a statement in regard
to his alleged defalcation. What has be-
come Of the large sums be borrowed is still
a mystery, but it is supposed he sunk
them in real estate speculation.
1t is stated by we'll known merchant
that the Clearing House Association has
for long time regarded the Marine bank
with suspicion on account OF the well
known real estate operations OF its presi-
dent, and was ready to use the slightest
pretext ior expelling ii from tho associa-

"uENRl,An HOWL,
Whnt Watterson Thinks OF the Defeat OF
IU tho Morrison Bill,


tho Morrison BilI.
LOUISVILLE, May THE Courir.J Jouruai
has the following to Say about the vote to
strike out tho enacting clause Of the Morri.
son bill: Aserious disaster has overtaken
the Democratic party in the full face oi the
enemy. Acting under strict, unmistakable
orders from the people, ten Democrats de.
serted their colors, and in conjunction
with the united forces Of the Republicans
brought upon the party a stinging, and
most disgraceful defeat. A small guerrilla
band within the line OF the party has.
SINCE the opening OF tho session, acted
under orders from the Republican
leaders. It is a coalition as disgraceiul as
any IN political history. The party has
been betrayed, betrayed by those whom il
uelighted 70 honor. There is in the mind
OF no candid man any shadow OF doubt
what Is the will Of the majority OF the
democratic voters. In every way open to
them they have frankly expressed them.
selves. The success Of the Democratic
party ia nothing to the ao.called Democrats
from Pennsylvania and Connecticut
They are serving not the people, but the
interests. The dictates OF few
manufacturers are with them Of more bind.
ing force than the expressions OF party
caucus. The rejection OF the Morrison
bill is, "a lar as protected interests are
concerned, a blunder that, as the contest
progresses, will assume, the proportions
OF crime. The party. to-day. ia in dis.
grace; placed by an overwhelming popu.
lar vote in control OF the House Of R,p.
resentatiyea, 1t has accomplished nothing,
we must go forward or We must surrender.
II the people want protection, as Randall,
Eaton and Converge claim, then they will
see that the government is given in charge
OF tho Republican party. The Democratic
party cannot be trusted to maintain tho
protective system, which it has denounced
as masterpiece Of iniquity.
