one thing however. Captain Wise said
was g fact there would be no more snap
judgments Of MISREPRESENTATION in
Manchester Any opposition against him
would ind him in armor, and he would
not be caught mapping, for this was one

from Washington.
Cantain Wise closed his remarks by
saying that he felt confident that the
decision OF the convention would be bind

The announcement that he would enter
The contest. He VIII start out with the
SOLD delegation Of Manchester at his
lack, while Mr.. Wise is said 10 be forth
LED by the GoOchland delegation.
Mr. James Lyons, who had also been
trCed by his friends 10 enter the arena,
Yesterday decided to keep his hands off.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
Wise's friends have not yet been able to
discover any number OF persons 70 speak
of who are opposed TO that gentieman's
denomination, there seems to be a rather
strong undercurrent In favor OF some
Other gCOi Dem -crat, and II appears from

desirable.
