must be managed by an upstate man, ac-
cording to the way he looks upon 1t.

seen at the Wigwam, in 14th street. yester-
day and asked TO express an opinion on the
ticket, he was somewhat cautious
Perhaps it would be better for me not
TO express an opinion" he said. I'm so much
as I had considerable to do with getting
the ticket together
