BY Man Who Tells Much, But Appears
to Know More.
NEW YORK, July When Journal
reporter called upon Mr., Roswell p.
Flower yesterday that gentleman ap-
peared to be much pleased, and extend
ing his hand, exclaimed: "What can
do for your" On learning his VISITORS
erraId, Mr.. Flower was not disposed to
talk, and referred him to the Flower Lit
erary Bureau in the Herald building,
where all his communications are pre-
pared and given to the press, He at
length consented to give short state
mcnt of his views on the political situa-
ton, and the reporter asked:
"What do you think OF your chances,
Mr.. Flower"
The man with barrel thoughtiully
stroked his chin and replied:
"They are as good as ever they were,
and that is not a discouraging statement.
The night before the New York State
Convention my friends made careful
canvass of tho delegation and received
the absolute pledge Of forty-two of the
delegation out OF total Of seventY-two.
This gave Inc good majority, but we
considered it best not to press the ques-
ton of instructng delegates, preferring
to make a still hunt and show our hand
at Chicago. Since that time have no
reason to believe that the delegates have
changed their minds, or have another
preference. There was one curious fea-
turc about the State Convention which
seems to have escaped the notice Of the
newspapers. That was that while States
which are not friendly to Samuel Tilden
passed resolutions in honor of the great
statesman and against condoning the
fraud of 1876, the Democratic Convention
of this State did not notice Mr. Tilden
in any manner. This was due to the
efforts of the supporters Of Grover Cleye-
land"
"Do you think" exclaimed Mr.. Flower
In loud voice and banging his fist forci-
bly, upon the table, 'that the friends of
Mr.. Tilden will vote for Governor Cleve-
land, or that they are in favor of his
nomination? No, sir" he continued,
"John Kelly and Tammany Hall and
Charles A. Dana and the Sun and the
great majority of Mr.. Tiden's friends are
against Governor Cleveland and do not
hesitate to say So"
"Who will present your name to the
Convention?" asked the reporter.
General Lester b. Faulkner, q dele
gate-at. large, and one of my most earn
est supporters"
"Do you expect to have the vote OF the
New York delegation2"
"WeH," answered hei slowly, "those
forty.two delegates will not vote for
Cleveland, aud believe I am the only
other candidate for nomination from the
State. There are nine delegates from
Kings County who will vote for mo first,
last and all the time, and who will not go
| for Cleveland"
GLOW is your strength In the West
and Southp"

NEW LAREDO, MEXICO, July This
city made default this month in the
payment of salaries to its employees and
officers. 1t is claimed by the anti.ad-
ministration party that large sum of
money belonging to the city is unac-
counted for and that the revenues Of the
city greatly exceed the expenditures.
1t is believed that the Federal Govern
ment has by some means succeeded in
absorbing the surplus revenues, not on
ly Of this city, but of many others. The
general Government is in arrears three
months of salaries and pay due officers,
Soldiers and even the judicial and legal
officers Of the Central Government arc

On Saturday the skeleton of man was

plete and large portion of a third were

found in holes but few feet deep and
not over three feet in length so that the
bodies must have been cut in

probably that Of a negro, its form being

murdered on the premises. Not vestlge
