EDGAR h. APcAR, Secretary.
This call originally drawn by Mr.. Apgar but
amended by various members of the committce)
The committee then adjourned to meet again at the
Vanderbilt House, Syracuse, september 10, the day
preceding.
The committees choice OF Syracuse was undoubtedly
owing to two First, because the Governor
known TO favor Syracuse as place which, though the
home Of the Canal Ring showed its great revulson of
feeling by s cordial reception of the Governors and
second because 1t is considered more convenient OF ac
cess than Saratoga, being on the main line of the New
YORK Central and much more OF geographical centre
Of the State. IL is considered that many more people
will attend the Convention at Syracuse than would have
come TO Saratoga The minority who favored saratoga
did not seem to be especially disappointed at the
preference given 10 Syracuse, and II may Wen
be said that the session OF the committee
was perfectly harmonious. The friends of Governor
Tden here are very much eaed at the wording OF the
CALL which places the committee SO strongly on record
sustaining the Governor. If the committee s action
may taken as forecast Of that Of the Convention it
is very certain that our worthy Governor will have IL
all his own way

Convention be held at Saratoga This WAS the feeling
