IS OUT OF IT,
On Account of Ill Health. Mayor Gold
 smith withdraws From the Race
for NIaYor.

To my Friends, the People of Pine Bluff;
 When I addressed you from El Paso, Texas, several weeks since an- nouncing my candidacy for re-elec- tion to the high office you so gener- ously reposed in my keeping two years ago, it was in the firm belief, based upon my physicians opinion, that 1 was fully restored to health, and therefore able to re-assume the duties of the office and complete cer- tain public improvements l had in view. Since returning home, now ever. I have become convinced thAf my health and strength art not eoual to the task, however much l should like to unkettais;. It; therefore in iusticc tu ruv family and myself, and the many kind friends who nave so chrcrfully rallied to my support, 1 deem it my duty to withdraw rom the contest as a candidate for re-elec- tion to the office of Mayor Of Pine Bluff.
 My physicians advise me that they deem it necessary for me to take another trip at an carly day, ana unburden myself from all business cares, and to do this precludes the possibility of my again serving as your Mayor.
 With heartfelt thanks to those who have aided me in the discharge of my official duties in the past and to all who have kindly encouraged me in the belief that my efforts in behalf of all the citizens of Pine Bluff have been appreciated, and would have won for me the gratifying com pliment of an endorsement term. had my health proved equal to the task, I remain,
 Truly and Gratefully Yours,

the Senate. They argue that the Democrats will be sure to elect a majority of the House of Represen- tatiyes next year, and should this come to pass without an infusion of leadership the party would be in a bad shape. On the other hand, they show that Hills entrance to the House would not only give the party an experienced leader, but that he could be elevated to the Speakers chair, and thus solve aproblem which is giving all far-seeing Democratic leaders considerable concern.
 HIS STRENGTH IN NORTH AND WEST.
 1t is well understood that MT. Hill's selection as Speaker of the House would be bitterly opposed by the extreme Southern and Western members, but the domination of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-03-16

these men in the Congress to be elect ed next year is by no means assured. It is calculated that the Democratic representatives from tue North will be so materially increased that it will be possible to organize the House on new and broader lines and with the wiping out of the petty differences of the last campaign, Hill's road to the Speakership would be cleared.
 The political admirers of ex=Sen= ator Hill don't doubt for moment that he would accept q nomination for Congress if his party should de- mand that he enter the fight. They point to his record in obeying party orders, and also to the fact that the House of Representatives would give him a great field for displaying his powers us Il leader. Further more, it is urged in support of this plan that Hills advent in Congress would be at time when the Demo- cracy will sadly need a strong leader. As soon as MT. Hill returns from Washington the Democracy will urge him to take a hand in the re- organization of the party, and it is safe to say that all the mistakes of the Republican machine will betaken advantage of, and the next Con- gressional delegation from this State will be largely Democratic.

and tow a barge on which people, stock and household goods could be loaded.
THE ROUTE.

The route chosen for the Harbin was around Prerident's Island, the steamer to take away the people and stock who wished to leave the Island
 and those who wished to leave the submerged portion of Crlttenden county, Ark.
 It was feared by some of the river
 men that the Harbin, which Is Of very light draught, would be washed ashore by the current which runs in-
 ward at some points on the route chosen for her to go. But Capt. Rowland knows the treacherous and
 mighty Mississippi well, and he had no fear for this.
 Owing to the fact that 1t was Inn possible for him to obtain a pilot yesterday to take charge of the
 wheel, Capt. Rowland himself went into the pilot house. and Captain
 Charles Russell, who had not been
 on the rlveg for years, volunteered to
 go to his old post and help out in
 this emergency.
 OFF FOR THE RESCUE. It was shortly after l o'clock that the Harbin backed out of her land ing place near the foot of Beal street and pushed her nose into the turbid
 waters of the Mississippi, southward bouad, on her mission of mercy. She ] lay to at the steamer c. E. Bryan's l dock and took on provisions which MT. R. c. Graves had sent down to l the boat to be used by the rescuing
 crew and by those who were rescued.
 She stopped Ut the Bryap's dock only
 few moments, then steamed away | toward President Island. It seemed
 that her tall smokestack would
 strike the big bridge as she passed
 under 1t, but she missed 1t by several
 feet. As the water dashes against
 the sturdy stone piers of the bridge
 it makes very awe-inspiring sight. The current it the middle pier Is run ming at the rate of about twelve miles an hour, and the water heaves high on the north side of the stone
 pier and then rushes on with sullen
 and grumbling roar.

HELP FOR THE SUFFERERS.
The J. N. Harbin went Out on Resouing
 Trip Yesterday.
(Memphis scimitar.)


 It was not until yesterday morn ing that the citizens of Memphis re alized that the high water would cause intense suffering and great property loss from drowning oi stock and probably loss of life If help was not given to the sufferers. Ac- cordingly several Memphians, who have often been identified with char itable " ork, among them being c. B. Bryan, Ed Beasley, k. c. Graves, w. A. Gage, Charles Eberhart, assembl- ed in the office of the Pittsburg Coal company to devise a way to rescue the suffering.
 She steamer c. E. Bryan had been buslly engaged In bringing to the city from the submerged districts people and stock on Saturday night and yesterday morning.
 The Bryan, however. could not get close to the banks below Memphis, and as she had no stage plank il was almost an imposslbility to get stock on the boat from the bank The gentlemen who had charge ot the movement of sending out rescue boats hit upon the steamer J. N Harbin to make the trip below. A better boat for the purpose and q brayer and more kind-hearted com mander than Capt. Ed Rowland could not be found on any river.
 Capt. Rowland was communicated with and came Ut once to the office where the gentlemen were meeting He readily agreed to take his boat out on the dangerous mission and to do all in his power for the suffer CTS. Capt. Graham D. Fitch, Of th' United States Engineers, was ther communicated with and asked If h. could furnish q boat and barges t' the relief committee. He responded In person to the request, and sait that he would put every piece of tn government fleet under his command at the disposal of the committee. was finally agreed that the powerful little government tow boat Atask; should accompany the J.

ALBANY, N. '. March 15. -Ex-Sen- ator HilPs slight indlsposition is quite annoying to the Democrats here who have been looking forward to his return with more than ordi- nary interest. If It Is the intention of the ex- Senator to retire from politics for q season he will find his plans seriously interfered with when he shall have an opportunity to con. suit with the rank and file of the Democracy here. The recent local elections have been most encourag- ing to the Democrats. There has been a general laying aside of the factional differences that developed during the campaign of last year, and the sole disposition is to get together and fight the common enemy.
 Notwithstanding the talk of a few hot heads, Mr. Hill Is the logical leader, and 1t is to him the regular Democracy of the State will look for organization aud aggressive fight ing. One of the plans ineontemplat- ion is the nomination of Mr Hill for a seat in the House of Representa- tives next year.
