Sun Saratoga Special: A consultation
was held until late tonight, between

should, when the grand council meets,
pass formal endorsement OF Cleveland.

Then the members OF Tammapy, voting
as individuals, win cast their ballots. for
Butler. Tammany leaders say Bntler

that Butler will take this from them,
Upon this assumption, they hold that II
