In the Lexington News Of July 30
we find an article signed "Y," with
reference to Mr.. Folk and his can
didacy for governor OF the stale. We
desire to state in the outset that we
have the greatest respect for Mr..
Folk, admire him as we would admire
any mar for dlscharging the sworn
duties Of his office; but should we for
this reason and almost before he had
got used to the democratic collar,
pick him up and rush him into the
gubernatorial chair, losing sight of
men who have worked in the demo-
cratic harness for years, yea, before
Mr.. Folk was heard of or dreamed Of;
men not only of state but national
reputation, against whom there is.
neither spot OIL blemish. Sidetrack
such men as these, who have done
their duty and whole duty in what
ever position they have been placed;
and one Of whom has for years been
an honored and honorable member Of
the supreme court Of the state, and
against whom there never has been an
objection of any kind raised until a
large number Of the good people Of
the state felt that there could be no
better timber found to fill the guber-
material chair than Judge CAN'T
Again, there is Mayor Reed, Of Kansas
City, a probable candidate, a man
who has scarcely an equal aSan orator;
a man whose democracy no u can
question; a man who in his fight for
the mayorality of Kansas City, against
the world, the flesh and the devil,
came out victorious and for which the
democratic party for the time being
almost worshipped him. This man,
too, would be S~idetracked by Y TO
give place to a man who has done his
duty as prosecuting attorney and for
which the people are disposed to give
him all the credit to which he is
entitled. Y would have us believe
that the democratic party will be
doomed and damned if they should
fail to elect Mr.. Folk as governor,
If Y is correct we are gone fawn

Mr.. Folk for what he has and is
Accomplishing, the state is apt to say
to him: crest ye here for the present,

ShantY Boats Crushed.

Evansville, March 1.-The Ohio River reached 424 feet this morning and was stationary at that point At the weather bureau 1t was expected the river would begin rising higher during the day. Con- siderable drift is floating by the city.
 If the flood gets much higher practi- cally every boat will tie up. Ten miles be- low here the flood is above the founda- ton of the houses near the river. At Rhams station the water is two feet deep in houses.
 Several shanty boats on the Wabash and Green Rivers have been crushed in by the flood and loss of life is feared.
 Farmers about Mount Vernon have fled from the high waters, taking their house. hold goods and live stock The stock was taken from Diamond Island today, the largest island in the river below Cincin- natl A large force of men. hundreds of bags of sand and two pile-drivers are at Decker, near Vlncennese, where the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad crosses White River At this point a trestle 2,OOO feet is necessary to keep the high water from touching the tracks and to prevent the bridge washing away. Night and day men are kept busy walking the track, between Decker and Hazelrig, distance of three miles. In some places the water is within three feet of the track, which for several miles Is built on a gravel and stone embankment
 The White River bottoms as far as the eye can see, fields are covered with water and thousands of acres are inundated Houses are vacant, the occupants being forced out by the water. White River Is still rising.
