OF the most popular and respected OF his section
but is an intimate friend OF Mr.. White. Mr.. Schuyler
pronounces TIE TRIBUNE's statements correct
There two distinct offers made to Mr. White TO go
upon the delegation which he declined and he said while
In Albany that he would not be able TO attend the Con-

spoke of himself as such less than ten days ago. and dur

Tie Syracuse Journal says it has the best reason to
pronounce them wholly unfounded Whatever tho best
