Staunton, Ga., Oct. 2 —The flood here was caused by much the same con ditions, but, of course on a smaller scale, ns those which resulted in the Johnstown disaster, namely the bursting of a lake and the emptiug of its waters into a stream already badly swollen by the rains. For two hours on Tuesday night, the rain came down in torrents and soon changed Lewis creek, which runs through Staunton, into a millrace. The creek be a me a raging torrent, and the water being in to large a volume to pass a street tunnel, backed and quickly swamped the neighborhood. Along the line of the creek in the southern part of the city the water ros- several feet in a few seconds. Northwest of Staunton and adjoining is the fair ground lake, which broke Us banks and emptied its waters into the swollen creek with the

We cannot close eyes to the fact that if by our ballots we lower the j credit of the government, repudiate its honest obligations in whole or in part : . or deliberately depreciate a vast amount j »of its curreiiey, we have aimed a blow | at its hitherto unsullied name and honor. My fellow citizens, will we per- j nut the nam ■ and honor of this great [ American nation to be sullied, or tainted? ‘ Your spoke-man has well said tiiat the United States never repudiated any obligation that it bad by expressed terms or implication honestly entered into; and 1 agree with him, as I am sure the great majority of our fellow citizens \ everywhere will agree, that it never
will.
Never has the Republican cause more : clearly appealed to conscience and intelligence than in tins campaign. The patriotism lor which you are so justly celebrated must not be abated. The strong clear voice of your people whit h has been heard so distinctly in perilous times of the past must again resound throughout the nation in thunder tones for the truth, and justice and honor and honesty. Your glorious past appeals to you to abate no effort because the tide of public opinion seems so strongly in vour favor. On the contrary, let this ! be the greater inducement for extraordinary efforts, for it will not do this year to win a mere victory. It must be a victory triumphant ! enough to be worthy of the cause for which we stand. TWISTING TORNADO. Dcistructiou of Property Widespread In

The parade had passed through the principal streets of the city and the governor and stall', escorting Vice President Stevenson had just left the line of march and entered the stand to review the procession. Heavy raius had so softened the soil on which it was constructed tiiat the support sank and carried tlie structure to the ground. Vice President Stevenson wus almost in the center of the stand and was thrown into a wildly struggling mass of people. Governor Drake was near him and grasped his arm, and they assisted each other in extricating theniselt from the debris. There was danger for a few moments of a general panic but a number of cool-heads managed to still the fears of those near by and the work of rescuing the unfortunates was quickly begun. Vice President Stevenson was dazed for a moment by the force of his fall and struggle but was soon able to enter his carriage and he was driven to his hotel, where after a short rest he completely recovered his equinaniity. Governor Drake was not injured, and after the injured ones had been removed and the excitement had subsided, he and the uninjured members of his staff and friends reviewed the procession which had halted at the dis-
