Henry Iveep, a ?5cl ebrated railroad magnate at that tlmo and a brother-in-law of Mr. Flower, now died and left hiin in charge of his estate of four million dollars.

Mr. Flower was induced to permit tho use of his name In opposition to Astor, and although the lat ter is said to have. spent fabulous sums of mouoy at the polls, Mr. Flower was elected by a majority ofoverthreo thous and votes.
