this morning was a fat little man with
"a fierce mug, who wrote "JOhu ;. Wise,

top Of the PAGE In the hotel register, and
who made an exaggerated exhibition OF

had come 10 see Harrison right on the heels
OF the Malone delegation that spent yester-
dsy here. Ina fact, some members OF that

gone home with the main body OF the party.

comment among these Nirginians. They
sold that Wise when he left the state made
an agreement that he would drop Virginia
r0luics entirely and make no further At

They called Il q bTeech Of faith for him TO

Wise, on his part, denies that he made any
such agreement, and while admitting that he
now lives In New York and has nothing
more 10 do with Virginia aud no interest
there, expressed himself IN the blterest
terms ~ to General Malone.
