THE SHORE PRESS ;" issued at As
bury Park, New Jersey, by Il. j. War
dell, a soldier, and one of the leading
Democratic papers in the State, ha,
hauled down the Democratic ticke
from the head of its editorial columns
and has hoisted the Republican tickel
headed by Blaine and Logan in it,
stead. The reasons given by the editor
for the change is that Cleveland is q
man without a history, a hangman, q
political accident, a confessed adulterel
with an illegitimate son, and Hendrick,
was during the war a member o
the knights of the Golden Eagle.
In him was concentrated all the viru
lence of the copperheads of war times
He looks upon Blaine and Logan Al
just the opposite OF Cleveland and II en-
bricks, the first, one of the creates
statesmen of the age, and the last, on,
of the greatest soldiers. We give In
conclusion of the reasons for a change il
his own language:
!" 1t il owing to the facts enunera to,
why we have concluded to haul dow
from the head Of the Shore Press tn

into deserved oblivion, and hoist II
their places those Of BLAINE an,

The hands on the dial plate of Tim
never go back In view of tbj
aphorism, We have every reason fc
believing that the Republican part
will be victorious, for it Is the part
of right, 1t is the Niobs OF the or

THE State election in Ohio will come

and all that is left to do is to vote and
count the vote. Republicans claim the
State by 10000 majority and the Demo

the result will be close but the Repub li.

places are still covered, but pow twenty

ranged by the flood that trains now stop
at Water street, south of the creek. About
half OF the fugitive people have returned
to their homes or found quarters else
where. The houses of the other half have
been swept away or destroyed. Fully
5000 persons are homeless, destitute aud
helpless, aud will have TO be fod by the
relief committee for weeks.
The day at Cincinnati was ono Of the
greatest excitement since the flood began.
The stage OF the high water last year was
passed at one p. m, and the steady and
hard rain during the greater part of the
day, together with reports OF general
rains in every place where the water would
run into the Ohio, made it certain that a
still more dangerous flood would DO upon
the already unfortunate people Of the Ohio
valley. The gas was cut of on Sunday
aud the water supply has ceased to accu-
mulate.
The rate of the rise il creased Monday
afternoon 10 an inch an hour. The water
now - but a tile more than 600 fee,
from the Burnett house, which il distant
from the river bank proper between three
and four squares. At the foot of Pdce's =
hill, on the west side, Mill creek spreads
to an average width of n mile, and reaches
north out OF sight. The back water runs
beyond the Spring Grove cemetery, seven
! miles up the river. Cincinnati, Covingtou
| and Newport houses can be seen peering
out Of the water, while down tho river,
| almost FROM hill TO hill, the valley is COW
cred. In Newport it is estimated that
from 1000 to O, 600 persons are homeless
Their supplies were exhausted at noon.
The supplies of the relief committee have
given out. Llwrenceburg sent a request
to Cincinnati for help, but refusal was
compelled for want of funds. The coutIi-
buttons have not been as generous as last
year. Tho Pan Handle has no traffic
between Cincinnati and Cleveland, but il
takes freight from tae latter place. At
7 7p. IN. the water marked sixty.six feet
eleven inches.
The Allegheny and Monongahala rivers
are rising again at headwaters, and az
considerable rain has fallen during the last
forty eight hours, 1t is feared that another
food will inundate the lower portion OF
Allegheny. The rivers remained about
stationary on Monday.
AT two O'Clock Monday afternoon the
river at Memphis reached thirty.two feet
on the gauge. This is two feet below the
danger line. The river continues rising at
the rate of nine inches daily. IL has gone
over the banks both above and below here
in low places, but 30 far no damage has
been done. 1t will take two feet additional
rise before trouble begins in the bottoms.

An I'm popular Subject for Lyceum Discus
sion.
For the lNTBLLIGENCER
Owing to the unpropitious weather and
bad roads there was not a quorum present
at the meeting OF the Strasburg literary
association on Monday evening, and tho
question of the whipping post was not
discussed, the principal disputants not
putting in an appearance. 1t is altogether
probable that the question Is at all events
unpopular and distasteful, at least to that
class OF our community who take delight
In waylaying innocent persons at night,
and others whose highest enjoyment CON
sists in self indulgence and treacherous
acts of law breaking and infamy. 1t is
certain that the penalty Of the law has not
embraced all who yet deserve it in this
town Of Strasburg.
Under the circumstances, however, tho
lyceum has adjourned sine die for lack of
patronage. This Is to be regretted because
1t Is not complimentary to tho good morals
and high intellectual aspirations of tho
citizens, added to the fact that no meet.

moral or intellectual character have been
