., Wasuisgtoit, May 17. The vtime is
near at hand for the first practical move
opon the political chess board ; in ..the
grand game which is about . to ciaim, the
attention of the American people. Poli
ticians and statesmen have. been . agitat
ing the question of the presidential suc
cession for many months, and:, certain
patriots have enthused in support- of
various '. possible and . .'any nnmberof
Lim probable candidates. - Nominating
conventions. Jiave? determined '.certain.
matters, in 1 restricted , localities but it
is given to Oregon to lead off in the race
fthe sweepstakes) Of , this eventful year.
.'vTha eyes of the nation will, be fixed
upon your state and .more or, less pleas.
ant Joncertainty f, will 'disturb-' "rjnany
minds until the. results of the June elec
tion are known . and, heralded, to ' the
world. . The signs, of the .times indicate
a decisive: republican, victory ind 'the
only question advanced, here - and -now,
is the numbers of th'e:majority.-,'",' :
-No doubt is. entertained respecting the
return of -the Ion ,-Binger Hermann , and
the election of the Hoir." W.f R.1 Ellis is
reckoned upon, as a foregone- conclusion.
Whatever may exis t of local and personal
differences among your republican par
tisans is lost eight of Irom this pJlnt of
view and those best advised argue, from
"the logic of the situation," that np
other outcome of youy campaign is pos
sible, if the people of the-.-state are ' true
to themselves and theiij tradrtibne. ; v.
The Hon. W. R Ellis is highly spoken
of by all here who are acquainted with
him. :; He' wiU;,: beyond- doubt,' prove to
be a valuable acqusition to the house of
representatives, g The people of his dis
trict will make no mistake by ,; choosing-
him with an emphatic majority. That
the republicans will, be in the ascendancy
in the fifty-third congress is quite ' prob
able fend a telling :. endorsement -of any
constituency is always of immense value
to a new member of congress. ' , .
By faithfully representing .Oregon in
all her .varied needs jand : desires the
Hon-. Einger Hermann: was fully entitled
to the, spontaneous re-jipmipatibn, by
acclamation which he recently received.
If, any. 'man meTltsor, ever did, merit, a
re-election, he is that man. It would be
superfluous, a work, of supererogation,
to undertake a rehearsal, in - detail, of
what he has accomplished for the people,
during the seven years he lias ' been, in
congress,- their,. servant, .their , faithful
agent and ' untiring' advocates Nq jiew
man could. expect to easily fill : the posi
tion, Sf Hermann shouki, ly any -chance,
vacate it., He appears to have been,
daring his several terms, , and alt -the
while, winning golden opinions from all
manner of men.1 He is a general favor-,
ite without, consideration .of party ties
and commands the respect of all his as
sociates. .. ,n . . ,

wasV I can not Say Coo 'nuch In praise
of Eepresentative Hermann, r He is an
excellent member of the committee on
rivers and harbors. 1 1 In ' all his efforts
he is. honorable, -persistent,: indefatiga
ble, "He is held in liigh esteem by all
his associates upon .the rominiuee, and
commands , the., respect - of the , entire
house." i . ; .- . ;i - '' : ,
I (.General Thomas .C. Catchings, - of the
third district of Mississippi, ,6onietimes
designated, "the speaker's lieutenant"
teause'' of. hi iimate- political and
personal relationsiwith: Mr. Crispy -said,
most, emphatically, "of Mr.. Hermann :
"He is the best member. iu:,tb? house ;
at all even tsjthe.,best .member for .his
constituents: cHe ia very near a faultless
member. .For him I. bavei tlie. highest
possible reepect for me to entertain: for
any. member.; ; You cannot say too much
in his behalf, froni me.'' VThie was.de
cidedly .clever,, coming as it did in euch
r Jrty ' . manner.,, , Representative
Weadpck,- of Michigan, another member
oi the committee, upon being told . Gen
eral Catcbing's views, said.: a VX endorse
all ' that '.and desire to emphasize the
idea that Hermann is one. of the best,
if not the best member of pur committee.
He is unwearying in every thing, he, un
dertakes and is especially earnest in be
half of his own - state . and. the Pacific
coast.". tNot only, was-this. said but
much m'ore of like import, and the gen
tleman did not measure his words. - ' :
" . Mr. .Charles Stewart, of . .Texas,; is of
tall. stature. and. commanding 'presence.
.However, white his hair, bis is a vigorous
age.H j,He raised his form: proudly to -the
full height of six feet four, and .grasping
the. interviewer -cordially by , the l hand
testified earnestly and emphatically that
Hermann was one of the most courteous
and untiring men ' of his T committee.
"He ir superb in presenting the . claims
of .this, .state- and section.. . He. enters
heartily upon . any matter lie, advocates
and is, irrepressible. There is but . one
way to stop him and that would be to
choke him to death." - ;.
" Further reports of other interviewti,
with other members of the-, committee,
flight, be given in. detail, but. the .sub-
Stwce.? of .what all these , democratic
axeuabers Cher einbefow set'.ffprthj.isaidv
under this head, -.is -quite sufficients :at
this time, and to avoid repetition. I shall
content myself, by closing with the. kind
expressions of only two republicans, of
uie puncher upon , the committee.'' One
of them was the Hon. Samuel M. Steph
enson, of the eleventh district of Michi
gan a man of few, words but of : vast in
fluence within as well, - as , beyond . party
lines ; he said : : -"If I. was in Oregpn ahd
was a farmers' , alliance- man, a; green-'
backer, or a democrat, and w.riitti a man
tO:tepirtent my state,. .!, wqcLD' votki .for
Hermans. ,-, I, .know -him' r, well, having
been intimately associated with' him. an
two congresses." i: .1 . i
Geri.' Thomas Ji-; Henderson j of-'llli-nois,
said: ' -"Hermann is honest. lie
is earnest and -sealous in. the highest
degree. ' ' A.11 this is-very -flattering but
it is simply -' the truth and it may be as
well for our people to know it.' -' ' - -' . "'
i. Perhaps it Was because our representa
tive from Oregon was '. upon, this import
ant, pouimittee, and . had- secured such a
high place in the opinions of, his -associates,
that our state, of late years-has
secured such liberal: appropriations -for
the benefit of certain .of her rivers 'and
harbors, and. more recently that specific
actin which . .will .in the near .: future

. St. Louie, May 23- The waters of the
Mississippi began receding slowly gatur-
day afternoon, and the worst is passed,
but pen is incapable of picturing, the
distressing scenes. . Ten thousand peo
ple are homeless in the stretch of coun
try, between this city and Cairo, and
500,000 acres of growing grain, hts been
destroyed utterly. The great American
bottom, comprising most of the Atchison
and St. Clair counties, one of the great
est potato fields of the Mississippi valley,
is entirely inundated, and will not yield
a single potato. The cabbage crop is
also ruined. Tributary to St. Louis, the
seriousness - of the situation may !e
faintly realized when it stated that of all
the land under water at least 500,0110
acres was in wheat, and considering the
fact that no crop can be raised this year,
this means that not less than 10,000,000
bushels of wheat is losti In addition to
this, homes have been ' wrecked, cattle
have been drowned and lakes and Knds
formed where the lands , were dry for
years. This renders what was formerly
iMuauio ittau wurimess. vsver one
hundred flour mills are affected more or
less in th flooded districts ; farm labor
ers are out of work, for 'the season, as
well as millmen, and so the tale of woe
increases.- At Cairo the riyer is twenty
miles wide, and has eaten away homes,
drowned stock and submerged faring.
Reports from sections adjacent . to . East
St. Louis are more favorable. The. rail-
j-ways have not yet begun using their re
cently-abandoned tracks. In Nortji St.
Louis the back water caused many sew
ers to burst and the health of the resi
dents of that section is in danger unless,
there is speedy-relief. The newspapers
and the board of trade are soliciting sub-
scriptions for the flood sufferers. While -attempting
to pass through the flooded
district - at Kansas, city Saturday the -Missouri-
Pacific - accommodation was
stalled in the midst of the flood. A train
-of flat-cars long-enough to reach frum
dry '-ground: -to the! stalled train, was
made up, and. it backed up to the accoi- -modation,
which .hitched on . to it- and
pulled it out.r -The Arkansas pugsed the -great
- rise , of 1884 . by twelve inches
Thirty. iersons Here drowned at Kedneld '
by caving banks., j The country adjacent
toJ'Iumb and. iWattersiclr bayous, the
finest quality of bottom lands, in all un
der water. .-.To add to the flood's dam
age, acyclone passed south of Texurkana,
Saturday; causing devastation and deso
lation.' Houses and fences were leveled
for miles. , The wind was accompanied
by excessively heavy thunder and great
quantities of sand, though there is no
drysand within 100 miles of the city.
The Des Moines river began rising again
Saturday, but is now at a stand, but
reached a foot above the highest point
at any Stage the present season. Relief
is asked for the flood sufferers of Iowa
and Arkansas. In the latter state, over
a district comprising forty miles, the
crops of 15,000 people are ruined, and
the water; will remain high so long that
replanting of corn is not to be thought of.
