HoRNEILSvIiLE Nov. 1.-Gov. Flower slept in
the private car "Corsair" at Dunkirk last night.
and turned his face homcward this morning.
The car was switched over from the Lake Shore
tracks TO those Of the Eric. Tho first stop on the
latter road was at Cattaraugus, where. though
on short notice. for Cattaraugus was nos on the
Governors schedule, quite a crowd had assem-
bled. The Governor had finished his post break
fast and cigar, and though he had talked a good
many thousand words since Monday and shaken
many hands, he was IN good condition. Chaun-
ccy NJ. Dcpew was his topic at Cattaraugus.
II. I. Siblcy Of Olcan introduced the Governor,
and he said;
After reading the papers at nunkirk this
morning ] felt somewhat alarmed lest | should
find misery and want staring me In the face ut
the first stop we made on the Erie road, for in
the morning papers | had observed that a cold
wave of calamity had started yesterday from
New York and WAS coming up along this rail-
road in the shape OF Chauncey NJ. Depcw's po-
litlcal oratory. I had remembered that the last
time Mr.. Depew had expressed himself upon the
political situation, not as n politician. but as a
business man, he was in Europe, about the time
that the Wilson bill became n law. and
at that time he was confident that
the country was about to witness a
wonderful era of prosperity as the result
of the repeal Of the Sherman silver law and the
settlement Of the tariff question. But political
considerations seem sometimes to warp the
judgment Of even such distinguished orators as
Mr.. Depew. and the newspaper reports OF his
speeches Yesterday at the lower end of the Erie
Railroad indicate that during this campaign. at
least, he las fallen into line behind BENJAMIN
Harrison and William Mckinley, and is sure
that the country Is In a very bad way. at least
as viewed from the line of tho Erie Railway.
Now, I know that Mr.. Depew would not have
dared indulge in such calamity bowling along
the line OF the New York Central Rail-
road. I have just come through tho State
over Mr.. Depew's railroad. and at every sta
ton | saw the signs Of returning business
prosperity. The ficials of the New York
Central road told G that their earnings were
constantly increasing ut every station. They
told me that the improvement in business during
the last two months had been something wonder
full. ]. myself. saw the manufacturers and
their employees through the beautiful Mohawk
Valley. and the information which they gave mi
convinced me that the repeal Of the Sherman
Silver law and the enactment of n conservative
tariff reform measure had restored business con-
fidence. had increased the demand for manufac-
turcd goods, and are now causing mills to work
on full time. and In some instances. over time. |
do not believe the condition Of n%fYairs. is so much
worse on Mr.. Depew's rival railroad. the Erie.

that the npNt time hp comes nlt calamity howl
ing he had better choose some other stumping
ground than the line OF the Erie Railway"
AT Friendship. the next stopping place, the
Governor spoke to the farmers, telling them
what the State under Democratic rule had done
for the cause Of agriculture.
