HE WILL NOT STOOP
To such an Officer. 4. Flower Declines
the Nomination of observation-disclosures
of the state OF New York by the Dem.
Ocratic Party.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Sept. 26
MIR. Flower has just mailed the following
letter
WATERFOWL, Sept, 26.
To Hon. George Raines, chairman of the late
democratic State convention:
Dear Sir-I have learned with regret that
the convention over which you lately pre-
sided,. saw fit to honor me, in opposition to
my well known wishes, with the nomination
tor the position of Lieutenant Governor of
the State, on the ground that my nomination
is necessary to the success of the State ticket.
While | fully appreciate the cordial and
unanimous manner in which this nomination
was rendered, and the sincerity of the senti-
ment of the convention toward me, cannot
think that the success Of the party can be in
any way endangered by the presence or alb
sence Of one name of any individual upon its
ticket, or that there is any necessity for me
to take upon myself the serious duties of a
position for which l have no ambition II
would be assuming merit and virtue which
do not possess to believe for an instant that
am more potent to assist the party in this
manner thap any other men, who are better
qualified by nature and disposition for the
office in question. The principles of the de-
mocracy, as set out in our platform, the
splendid nominations to the other places on
the ticket, and the record of the party, both
in the State and nation, will in my opinion,
carry us to victory. Assuring you, therefore,
of my hearty support from the ranks of the
democracy, respectfully but positively de-
cline the preferment rendered,
X. F. FLOWER.

A Desperate Fight.

ST. Louis, Sept y.
In the village of Cottonwood Point, Friday
night two intoxicated strangers got into a
dispute and then into rough and tumble
f ght over the weight of a bale of cotton, but
were parted by the bystsnders. Shortly
after. however the men renewed their fight
and mutually agreed, in order that neither
should haue an advantage over the other,
they should clasp their left hands together
and fight with their right hands. Thus ar
ranged, each man with a revolver in his right
hand began their bloody work. Seven shots
were exchanged and one of the men fell dead
with four bullets in his head and breast while
the other sunk to the ground bleeding and
dying from two or three desperate wounds.

NO STRIKE.
The Knights of Labor Determine Not TO
Order Strike.

RAwLISs, Wyo., Sept. &C.
II is learned from what is belived to be an
official source that there will be no strike on
the Union Pacific railway. The reason given
is that the Knights of Labor, by organizing
the strike. would practically indorse the kill
ing Of the Chinese at Rock Springs. SO they
have determined to settle the trouble BY more
peaceable means. The Chinese are all at
work in Rock Springs mines, and considera-
BILE coal is being turned out few white
miners have accepted passes to other points.
Those remaining refuse to go to work The
railroad company has, it is said made ar
rsngements to import 200 Mormons from
Utah and Idaho to take their places in the
mines. Winter quarters are being construct
ed for the troops now here.

The Time for the Blowing Up Of Flood
Rock Changed.

ASTORIA, l.. L., Sept. 27.
Tomorrow was the day originally set for
the blowing up of Flood Rock and complet-
ing the work of removing the obstructons to
navigation i'll Hell's Gate. The discovery
was made few days ago by Lieut.. Derby,
superintendent of the work that large num-
ber of the cases of dynamite cartridges,
which had already been placed in the recep-
tacles provided for them in the galleries
which honeycomb the work had become
corroded and worthless. 1t became neces-
sary to remove all of the cartridges already
in position, and provide some remedy
against further corrosion. All the cartridges
are now dipped in melted beeswax previous
TO being put in the cells, and its believed
there will be no more trouble in this direc-
ton. The delay necessltates postponement
of the great explosion for about two weeks
