ROSWELL p. FLOWER.
The Ex-Governor of New York, Il In Fnves
of n Gold Platform.


BUFFALO. n. Y, June 13.-Ex-Gov.
Roswell L. Flower arrived in this citv
Friday morning on the steamer North
west and left for Waterfowl in the aft
ernoon.
WHO is your choice Tor democratic
candidate for president?" was asked of
him by n United Press reporter
No man who would run on a free
silver platform" was the response.
You See" continued the ex-gover-
nor, democratic chances this year are
not as glowing as they were four years
ago, and candidates are scarce. In
fact, there is no democratic candidate.
IL is my opinion that the democrats
had better wait until the republicans
finish at st. Louis; and then, when we
are all assembled in Chicago, will draft
good man, third term being out of
the question of course"
What effect will the free silver agi-
tation have upon the democracy"
disastrous" answered Mr. Flower
1t will hurt the party terribly in the
east. l know democrats who would
rather vote the republican ticket than
vote for man running on "A free silver
platform"
1t is said that free silver men will
control the Chicago conveution?"
IF the published estimates are COR
rect, may be they can. OF course, my
hope and wish is that they will not.
This threatened condition is the only
menace to democratic success in New
York this fall. On state issues the
democrats ought to carry New York
state by one hundred thousand. and
they will, too, providing the question
raised in national issues can be kept
out. There are plenty of good men in
the democratic party in this and other
states who can be drafted to carry the
banner when we meet in Chicago"
What do you think of the attitude
of Mckinley in refusing to express him
self on the question of finance?n
lin that respect Mr.. Mckinley is a
very wise man, very wise man in
deed. What on earth has he got to
talk for? Why should he express him
self? lie is absolutely certain and sure
of the nomination. A half dozen more
St Louis cyclones could not stop it.
lie is as certain of the nomination as the
sun is TO rise in the morning of June
l6. That being the case, what has he
to gain by talking? He could not help
himself any. He could only injurc
himself. He is very wise i'm keeping
silence and allowing the republican
platform to talk for him. OF course. if
he were not sure of the nomination
and could gain anthing by talking it
would be all right for him to 90 ahead
and talk -

WOOD MOST USED.
Pine In Fashioned Into the Greatest Va
ricty of Products.

mo ~ into the Greatest Va
ricty of Products.
Oak can be put to the greatest variety
of uses, but as n matter of fact pine
wood is most used. A phenomenal de-
mand for the latter in the wood-pulp
industry has arisen within recent years.
Over 100000 tons of wood pulp were
produced in the United States alone in
1894, and 100000 tons in Norway and
Sweden, the bulk of it from pine. Pine
Is also largely used in ship and house
carpentry, and it is adaptable I'd
81 many purposes, and is so abundant.
that it has come into almost universal
requisitiQn. Common turpentine is ey!
traeted from II, as are also tar, pitch,
resin and lampblack. Splinters of the
resinous roots ore used by the High
landers instead Of candles.
Fishermen make ropes of the inner
bark, and the Knmtchatknns and lap
landers steep the latter in water to
make coarse kind of bread The oil
obtained from the shoots of the dwarf
pine is used incidentally by the peasants
OF Hungary, while the soft-grained sill
yer FIR is used for the sounding boards
OF musical instruments, and the Ger
mans employ 1t almost exclusively in
their vast toy factories. The wood
used in the manufacture of lucifcr
matches is mostly pine, and the aggre-
gate amount of pine wood used in these
various industries exceeds that of all
other kinds of wood put together.
