M'KINLEY COMMITTEEMAN.
Sends His Resignation to the Central
Committee.

| SoIlHliNCC.
All Bryan meetings and all silve
literature has been kept out of Me
hama precinct. But the first meet
ing held there for the silver cause Sat
urnay night bore good fruit. E. A
Barrick, Republican committeeman
came out for Bryan.
e. A. Barrlck, precinct committee
man for Mehama precinct, of the Re
publican county central committee
sends The JOURNAL a copy of his
letter Of resignation. The letter was
sent TO Frank Davey, secretary, who
is now at San Francisco.
Mr.. Barrick has always been a loyal
Republican, but now gives his
REASONS FOR REsIGNING.
81 believe the money question to be
the paramount feature of the cam
paign.
every candidate for Office in Ma
rion county, prior to the June election
was pledged for Mitchell and silver.
Now it appears they did not be-
lieve in fostering the silver cause from
principle, but desert it for the gold
standard out of reverence for the
party lash.
"If they wonld knock at the tomb
of the immortal Lincoln, and asso-
ciate that sacred dust and introduce
him to the G.. o. p, as it stands on its
present platform, he would say: "De-
part from me. l never knew you"
The father would not recognize his
child.
"a year ago the older members ad-
vised us younger Republicans to
stand firm; stay with our principles;
protection and bimetallsm.)
"Now they retract one of these
fundamental party principles, and
where are they today? (Cohorting
with arch free traders like Bourke
Cochran, resident of London who
came near being sent to parliament
this spring.)
"There is more excuse for a Demo-
crat talking gold standard because
they don't believe in protection. But
for Republican believing in pro-
lection, and knowing England is our
as a manufacturing ma
tion and our enemy in the commercial
world, you ask us to adopt her money
system in order to do business with
her.
"Loek at the fallacy of such an
argument! Did you noble veterans of
the war. when upon southern soil,
ever lay down your guns on the
skirmish line and ask the enemy
what policy to pursue?
"Are we unable to adopt a financial
policy without the consent of for
eign power?
"Are we men? Are.we Americans?
Do you not ask us to confess our in
to govern our county when
you ask us to take down our country's
flag, wrap it around our silver dollar, |
and upon bonded knees ask the ap-
proyal or condemnation of Great |
Britain?
"And they call this patriotism
"BelieYing principle to be above
party, | hereby resign, to take up my
abode among the silver outcasts of the
party"

Republican precinct chairman, Me-
hama precinct, Marion county.

TWO NEW GUNB0ATS.
THE vICFSsBURG AND NEWPORT
LAUNCHED AT BATH, MAINE.
Both Arc of What Is known as
Composite Coastruction-Ench Will
Carry Nine Officers, Ten Marines
and, Twenty-Five Blue Jackets

Bath. Ne. Dec. 5.-United States
gunboats vickburg and Newport were
launched at 1910 and 1928 p. m. re-
spectively.
Ten thousand people witnessed the
twin launching at the Bath Iron works
today. Miss Addie Trowbridge of
Vicl1sburg broke the ribbon covered
champagne bottle on the stern of the
vessel of that name saying: 7 chris
ten thee Vicksburg, and may your his
tory be as memorable as that OF your
namesake.'
Miss La Fargo of Newport, grand
daughter of Commodore Perry, broke
the champagne bottle and christened
the boat Newport.
The Sunboats are of what is known
as composite construction, the entire
frame is of steel and above the water
each is plated with steel and planked
below. The planking is covered with
copper, the advantage of this over the
steel being that the vessel Will not need
docking for years and may make I'M
interrupted cruises of seven or eight
years. Each boat has three full decks,
running the entire length of the YES
sci. The length over all is 200 feet and
1913 feet between her pendiculars. The
beam between mouldingS is 30 feet
inches and extreme beam SO feet. The
mean draught is u feet and the dis
placement 1000 tons. AS compared
with the Machias and Castine these
new boats are % feet shorter, feet
wider and of the same displacement.
The rig is that of a barkentine. and the
area of the nine principal sails will be
II 800 feet.
The armament consists of six four
inch rapid-fire breech-loading rifles,
four six-pound rapid-fire guns and two
one-pounderS.
The boilers are of the Scotch type,
two in number, with a working pres
sure of $50 pounds.
The total cost VIII be $4,000. The
boats will be ready for sea early next
year Each will carry 8 officers, 10
marines and 125 blue jackets. Their
rig will be very heavy and the boats
will be very heavy under sail. In APP
pearance they are much like steam
yachts of approved model.

produce the double effect of democrat

the belief of residents OF the city in the
ability of Weyler to keep the insur-
gents away from Havana.
Outwardly. the city is quiet. but I'M
der the surface there is much disap-
pointment at the management of the
Spaniards in both the military and civil
departments. A third of the inhabit-
ants are friends of the revolution. and
many others sympathize with il. The
rest are with the Spanish. The gov
eminent cannot punish men now as it
could formerly, for reasonable utter
ances. as it is afraid of precipitating
serious trouble. Gomez is now invest

The American contingent is the onlv

which leans toward the rebellion. This
probably accounts for the intense ha-
tired the SDaniards entertain towards
Americans. The Germans. Frenchnen
and Englishmea all incline toward the
Spanish side. and have given Weyler
numerous assurances of their sym

who arrived tonight from Havana give
interesting information as to the con-

element prevails il Havana since the
rumor spread that Weyler intended to
return, announcing, as reported. that
he had pacified the province of Pinar

Maceo remains bidding defiance to all
forces sent to crush him. The Span
ish are bitter against Weyler's unsuc-
cessful effort and say his return will
mean defeat The official statement Of
pacification is ridicGled in the face Of
the number of rebels in the province,
and the activity displayed recently

a UNION PACIFIC SUIT.
Hearing on Preliminary Notion In
an Interesting Case.

Boston, Dec. 5.-The action at law
brought by Henry Bulge. Charles \.
Peabody and Henri Dec0DDel OF New
York VS.. the Union Pacific Railroad
compan., and the bill in equity
brought by the Union Pacific Railroad
company VS.. Bulge, Peabody & De-
coppel were heard in the United States
circuit court today by Judge Aldrich
upon preliminary motions filed by the
parties.
The action at law is brought by
Bulge ct al. who are a committee OF
the bondholders os the Union Pacific
Railroad company whose bonds were
secured by an equal amount of bonds
of the Denver, Leodville & Gunnison
Railroad company as collateral. They
seek 20 recover of the defendants, the
Union Pacific Railroad company. 49,
Goa. 600 damages. They rely upon a de-
ficiency in the price realized from a
sale of the collateral at New York in
October, 1894. which amount was only
sos, 900. as compared with the amount
of Union Pacific bonds which they held
amounting in face value TO S2,S40,0G0,
and with the overdue interest some
thing mere.
The suit in equity brought by the
Union Pacific against Budre al al
seeks to set aside the foreclosure sale
Railroad company bonds which were
held as collateral. claimin- that the
foreclosure was invalid because the
Union Pacific was in the hands of re-
ceivers and the foreclosure was with
out leave of court and was without no
tice. and was not in good faith and
was fraudulent
The case was brought upon a motion
by the defendant, the Union Pacific,
asking that the trial, which had been
fixed for next January. be delayed until
the plaintiffs, who are the defendants
in the equity case brought by the
Union Pacific. shall appear in that bill
The equity case was BROUGHT upon
the motion which the defendants coun-
sci fled under a special appearance.
claiming that the court had no iuris-
diction, principally because the grounds
upon which It was based were the
same as those which the railroad relied
uoon and set W in defense of the ac-
tioH at law.
The motions raise novel and import
ant questions of practice, and the court
reserved them Tor further considera-
ton
