Transport and Drives Many People From
 Their Houses-In Northern New York
 Streams Leave Their Banks Also.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-Advices from the flooded districts this morning indicate that the storm has spent its force and that the waters have begun to fall in those To- calities where the danger has seemed great rst. Other places further down the swol- fen streams are threatened, but the worst is probably over.
 At Williamsport the Susquehanna has made a new record of 95 feet above low water, which point was attained at z o'clock last night. For an hour after that time the flood was stationary, and then it began to recede slowly, showing reces- sion of one foot at that hour. When the flood was at its greatest height, the water stood eight feet deep in front of the court house in Williamsport. The damage in that city will, it is thought, reach S1, ,500- coo.
 Sudbury is threatened with complete in undation as the water there is rising very fast, but as the people have had ample warning it is hoped that the damage to life and property will not be serious.
 At Renovo and Lock Haven the flood is rapidly receding, and no further apprehen- sion is felt. The same is true of Shamo- kin, Duncannon and other points which have been visited by the flood.
 Railroad communication. which has been greatly impeded, is being restored, and un- less there is a fresh rainfall of considerable dimensions the flood in the central portion of the state may be said to be on the wane
 In Philadelphia rain fell steadily all day, and the Schuylkill rose in proportion, its waters having long since left its banks to the great detriment of adjacent prop erty.
 The Baltimore and Ohio passenger de pot, the produce depot and many manu- featuring establishments along the banks of the Schuylkill are flooded, while boat houses by the score have been washed away. One vessel has been sunk, and six others are in great peril from the flood.
 Reports of the flood throughout the Schuylkill valley give information of the gravest character. The great iron and steel mills that line the banks of the stream are almost all under water, and hundreds of acres of farmlands are inun- dated. At many points people have moved from their houses to higher ground. The Reading railroad tracks are inundated along their Norristown branch.
 At ? o'clock this morning the Schuylkill was falling slowly and was about foot lower than its maximum height. The city gas works at Twenty-fourth and Mar ket streets were flooded and have stopped work. The ships at the West street bridge are in the same position as at nightfall and are in no greater danger unless the flood tide should wreck them

I believe it the duty of the negroes to vote for VanHoose. The democrats can't beat VanHoose. The Jeffersonians, the populists, the 'reformers'' (formerly democrats) and the republicans are all for him. The republican party is not dead in Birmingham, in Jefferson county, nor in the Ninth district, and by the aid of their allies under the leadershipof VanHoose the republicans will yet be able to redeem this Magic City.-Dr. Moseley at the Van- Hoose meeting.

It's like breaking young colt. You first put the bridle on and tn en lead him around; then you rub him be- hind the ears and down the fetlocks; then you throw an old sack on his back and lead him around some more; then you put the saddle on, tighten up the girth, put your foot n the stjrrup, get up in the sad ale, and he's ready to ride. That's the way MT. VanHoose will be iu 1896. "A. j. Warner, manager at the VanHoose meeting,

No citizen of Birmingham has done more for the democratic party and good govern ment than MT. Warnock. No citizen has been more thoroughly identified with it's best material, political and governmental interests. From him therefore there can te no reasonable prospect for anything else than good government and an economical administra jon. He is youn and am bilious, and has every reason for giving good ad- minstralion. He is honest, earnest, ener- oelic and capable.

the democrats have always favored slavery. The democratic party was fostered' by slavery and retained itself in power by bal lot box stufflng. 1 hate the democratic party, you hate it, all good men despise 1t. I'll tell you why am in Alabama tonight. The democrats know me and fear me. Every community where there has ever been a lynching democratic sentiment is dominant. The democratic party is a party of lynchers. It was democrats who stood over our mothers when the lash was ap- piled, which, with every stroke, cut the hide and caused the blood to flow down their bodies. How can a negro be demo- crat when the party has such record as this?-S. II. Doyle, negro, at the Van Hoose meeting.
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-11-21

Organization and obedience to the con- stituted authority are elementary princi- pies of democracy by reason of their neces- sity as the only means of establishing and perpetuating it's elementary doctrines and it's fundamental purposes. One who op- poses the organization and holds to it's principles is a blind theorist, who hopes for ends and employs no practical means to secure them.

Tbs city of Birmingham and it's demo- crelic organization are the backbone and lnaipstay of the democracy of Jefferson county. If it is defeated the republicans will gain control of this county. We will have republican county officers and re- publican police commission. The good people of this city cannot and will not
 allow this.

The Peoples Tribune (Kolb- Republican paper) carries at its masthead the "Citi- gents Reform Ticket,' and pr. Moseley, chairman of the state republican executive committee, and the other prominent repub- licans, are advocating the election of that ticket. Why? Because they want to smash organized democracy. They have ever been on that line.

No principle of pure politics is more in- volved in the administration of the affairs of county than of a city. In fact, the board of aldermen actually legislate for the municipal government. They grant fran chises and regulate the affairs of the city, as does the legislature regulate the affairs of the state, and In their legislation broad principles of economies are involved. However, argument as to the advisability of party control of muuicipal politics is immaterisl to the issue now involved. The fact is that the party, under authority of the county convention, has assumed control and made it's nominations, and the question confronting every loyal democrat is, will you support or oppose the nominee of the party2

Kolb vs. VanHoosei Kolb claimed to run as democrat; VanHoose does not even claim to run as a democrat. Kolb bolted the nomination because he charged fraud in the primary and convention; Van Hoose and his followers must admit that Warnock is the nominee of the party. Kolb thought he could beat Jones in the primary and tried it; VanHoose knew he couldn't and wouldn't make the effort. Kolb cried fraud after his defeat; Van- Boose cries fraud because he knows that he will be defeated. Kolb is now confess edlv out of the party.

What It NeanS.

The change in our business ad- vertised for some time past MEANS that on JANUARY 1, 1895, we will open up one of the largest and best equipped Mereha nt Tailoring Establish ments in the South. It will ad- init of the employment of a large number of hands, thus proving an important factor in the promotion of this city's in- dustries. We have secured the services of first class Cutter, who, with his assistants, stand high in their profession. We have also completed the pur- chase of our Spring line of piece goods, same having been bought under the operations of the new tariff bill, which takes effect January 1. This will no doubt convince the public that we have not been PREVARl- CATING, nor have we been bluffing. In order to .make room for this change our Stock of Clothing must be sold. We continue our Great Sacrifice Sale. A call will be convincing. N. VEIL & BRo.,
