SIR:-Since the withdrawal OF The
Hon. James Capehsrt from the Congress
sSonsl race, and In view OF the fact that
there has been and is considerable dis
satisfaction ia the district, and as there
must be unity or defeat, IL will be ne
cessary, perhaps, to select man who
has not been in any way connected with
the matter heretofore, and man upon
whom all factions and sections may
unite without sacrifice OF principles.
I therefore suggest the name OF Hon.
II. c. Henderson, of Wood county, who
is a farmer, q business man, gem
tleman, and we think in every
way fitted for the position;
and best Of all he is q runner, having
demonstrated that fact two years age
when be made the race for State Sena-
tor from the Fifth district, when he
overwhelmingly defeated G. =. Gibbons,
OF Petersburg, and Gibbons Is know q
as a hustler himself. Ii will certainly
be no mistake TO nominate Mr.. Hender-

IN tho past as 4 representative from Ohio

SrOCKs-At the opening of business on
the Stock Exchange today there was an
hctivc buying demand, which was most
marked in the Granger shares. The
moving influence was the government crop

which was less uufavOra6le than had been
anticipated. During the past week the
traders had been figuring on a bad crop
report, especially as 70 corn. and when
they found that their calculations
were not carried out, they were
IN haste 20 repair the error.

OLD TICKET REHOMIHATED.
RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS AGAIN IN
The FIELD.
FAITH IN THE OLD TICKET
Is Declared, and the Fight VIII
Be on the Same Issue as a
Year go-The Platform Makes
Several Good Recommends
tfons, and Is One Which the
People VIII Ratify.

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. March 20.-The
Democratic convention which was held
in Infantry hall today was one of the
most important in the history of the
party in Rhode Island The issues of
the election next month are those that
have been before the people for a year
past.
When the assembly met at Newport
last May its first duty was to have met
in grand committee to count the ballots
that were east for the state officers. and
to declare the election of one of the two
tickets. When the house of represent
atives changed the complexion of the
grand committee by ouSting two of the
Republican members. Mr.. Landers. of
jamestown. and E. Hoxsie. of Wesley.
the senate. which is Republican body.
refused to 90 into committee. and when
the house insisted upon its right to
Oust its members without the consent of
tie senate, Gov. Brown prorogued the
assembly. The same course has been
pursued in Providence this winter. The
two bodies have refused to meet. and
the state officers who were elected in
1892 have remained in office up to the
present time, the votes which were cast
IN the election of 1903 never having
been counted.
This is the issue on which the cam
paign in Rhode Island will be fought.
Both parties claim that they have taken
the only right stand, and in order tnat
the people may decide the question and
indicate which policy they approve. it
was suggested that the old tickets be
renominated. The Republicans did this
and the Democrats followed their ex-
ample today. The old ticket. which
was renOminated IS as follows: Hon
David Baker for governor. Dalton e.
Young for lieutenant governor, John j.
Oferman for secretary of state, James
a. Aldrich for attorney general and
John NJ. Penny for general treasurer.
The platform commends the repeal of
the Sherman coinage. the pending tar
if legislation, the repeal of the federal
election law ana the conviction of Boss

HoT SPRINGS, Ark. March 20.-The
high water record of the Ouachita is
broken. Rain has continued to fall
almost necessarily all day. making the
fifth day and night 1t has poured almost
without ceasing. Every small mountain
stream has been converted into a roar
ing river. while the Ouachita is raging,
sweeping everything III its path. No
trains have yet moved on the Hot Springs
railroad as the track is still under water
to the depth of nearly eight feet at one
point where it runs near the river.
There is no telling when trains will
move. as the river is still raging. and an
old river man says it will continue to
rise until y o'clock tonight He says
the river is now nine feet higher than it
has been in forty years. and he is doubt
less correct.
The Gaines farm, at Lawrence station
on the Hot Springs railway, is under
water, and the old Gaines residence,
which has stood there for nearly fifty
years, is inundated. Never before has
the-water been nigh enough to touch
this house, so this is conclusive proof
that the river is higher than il has been
in fifty years. The ferryboats along
the river have been swept away, and all
farms in the bottoms have been swept
of fencing. ana left as barren
a bald prairie. The extent of
the damage is at this time in
calculable, and cannot be estimated
until the food recedes. Here in the
city the cutters and sewers were mad
equate 10 the demand last night. and
the water overfiowed the sidewalks and
filled the cellars of several large estab
lishments, doing much damage to goods
stored therein.
Supt. Richardson. of the Hot Springs
railroad, said this evening that he could
draw no idea as to the extent of the
damage done his road by the flood, as a
portion of the road is too deep under
water to sound for washouts. 1t is the
first time the road was ever given such
aSwim. 1t will likely be several days
( before any trains will be able to run.
