and listened, while the governor stated
that he had been surprised and pleased to
learn from a republican paper that morn

and 500 day for an engine to draw it, A
moment later he happened to turn round
and he saw Mr.. Depew. They started for

candidate of Tammany for mayor, had
sent a check to the Wheeler campaign
committee, and that the other brother,
oscar Straus, ex-minister to Turkey, had
sent letter to the committee, indorsing
Mr.. Wheeler as a democratic candidate for
