The train will leave Union Station at
1 O'Clock.
A few of the party arrived last evening
at the hotels, but the bulk of them will
come in on the morning train. The
general comment on Mr.. Manley's de-
spatoh from St. Louis giving up the fight
for Mr.. Reed was that there must be
some mistake about it, especially since a
despatch to the Boston Herald had said
that Mr. Reed himself on reading the
disptach given by Mr.. Manley to the
United Press said there must be mis-
take for it was not true.
