Death OF George Tibbets.

Gardiner, July 8. 1899.
Washington sentinel., 1899-11-18
Senator Martins Views

Democrats, without exception,
decline to be discouraged over the
result of the recent elections. The
refrain Of all ofthem who have been
interviewed is that the anti Repub-
lican vote is larger in Ohio than
the Administration vote; that Ne
braska showed great fusion gains,
and that the fight against Goebel, /,
in Kentucky, was purely personal.
Senator Martin, Of Virginia, who
was in the city recently, fresh from
his own splendid victory, takes the
universal Democratic view OF the
situation.
"The Legislature ia Kentucky
is Democratic" he said, land this
proves conclusively that the State
is Democratic. The campaign for
Governor in the State was so
largely personal that it was not a
fair test. have no doubt that
Kentucky will be for US next year.
Nebraska is certainly in the Dem
ocratic column, and so is Mary
land. l must admit that / do moi
look upon Ohio as a doubtful State.
II is Republican, especially in
Presidential year, but it Is, never
theless, a good State to make a
fight. 1 do not see that the elec.
tions indicate any hopeIessness in
the Democratic outlook for neNi
year, nor do l see that it has set
tied anything eonclusivelY. excep
that Bryan and Mckinley will b
! the nominees"
Washington sentinel., 1899-11-18
The Wreck of the Oh arleston


The loss of the Charleston is a
severe blow to navy that has been
unusually fort Inate in the preserva.
ton OF its ships. We lost a number
OF vessels of the old navY-Che
Oneida, the Huron, the Trenton,
the Vandalia and others-but until
n oW the only ship OF the new navy
to 60 down was the Maine, which
was destroyed by treachGry.
The fate OF the Charleston de-
rives particular interest from the
fact that she was the first modern
war vessel to be built on the Pacific
Coast, and one oil the first to be
built in the United States. Her
construction was an experiment.
The Union Iron Works, her build
ers, were not only totally destitute
OF experience in building war ships,
but had hardly any experience in
the construction OF steel vessels OF
any kind. One small coasting
steamer, the Ar5go, and a caisson
for the drydock at the Mare Island
Navy Yard constituted the extent
OF their achievements in that line.
Many thought they we're unduly
venturesome in taking the contract
for the Charleston. But the work
was carried out to perfection, and
from that beginning the Union Iron
Works developed into one oi the
greatest shipbuilding establish
ments in America-turning out in
succession the San Francisco,
Monterey, Olympia, Oregon, and
Marietta, each OF which has dis
tinguished herself by winning
worlds record in her own class.
The Charleston was the first ship
of the new navy to be engaged in
anything like warlike operations.
She left San Francisco mysteri-
ously one night. equipped tor bat
tie, and chased the Itata to recover
a cargo OF surreptitiously shipped
arms from the Chilian revolution
lists. On the way she encountered
the Esmeralda, the prototype from
whose designs her own and those
ot all other cruisers OF her class
had been developed, and there was
