Is placed by it in connection with Mr. Kgrch-vaI,s ~,
ter Mr.. Wise, in 1886, placed at the head of his ar

the fact his being engaged large scale il TIE SPEC

charged BY Mr.. Wise, is ADMITTED!
We have seen nothing from Mr. Wse's ben which
leads Us t. believe that he takes view Of the morality
and proprey Of Cabinet off :4r being Ell rare in spec
uIang In the buying and selling Of the pnlc lands At
all different from that which he formerly held We
tel persuaded hat he would now N Tenn the PROPOSE

lie was led TO the suppTt OF Gen. Css By he cnyctin
that all the charges male az him. ani this annnr
them untrue. W hat he will d, NOW when he
IDS the charge 10 be, as he formerly believed strictly
true, we pretend not to say. We shall dub less hava

promises, 50 soon he procure certain documents,
