that Mr.. Manning does not want the position.
He has promised to devote his time to the can
vass and to the aid of the committee, to the
full extent of his ability. but does not want to
be the responsible head. From good authority
it is learned that Mr. Randall fubids the use
of his name. He will not stand in Wallace's
way. Mr.. Randall's friends say that Wallace
