and General MeQuade chose Brooklyn.
Frederick smyth then moved that Syracuse be
formally designated as the place for holding the
convention. This was carried unanimously.

been arranged to hold the convention on September
%, as he understood that it had been, he would
move that September % be the date He after
ward withdrew this motion, and moved that the
date be the first Wednesday in October. Mr.. Latin
offered an amendment making the date September
rs. This was carried.

about the nature of the call and the number OF
delegates from each Assembly District General

change what had been fixed by the State Conven-
tons in previous years, he would favor conven-
Ton Of one delegate from eaeh Assembly District,
instead of three. Lewis Beach, E. 5. Jenny and
henry stowell were appointed committee to
draft and issue the call for the convention
