the State Convention be held on Sept. IL.
This was agreed to.
Then Mr.. Stewart moved that the conven-
ton be held IN Saratoga.
Gen. Peter G. Doyle moved that the con-
vention should be held in Buffalo.
Sheriff Grant urged that Saratoga should
be selected as the place. as the hotel accom-
modations in Buffalo are insufficient.
Gen. Doyle said that it was not a question
of hotel accommodations with them. 1t was
a question of politics with his people.
District-Attorney Ridgway opposed Buff
falo.
Senator Foley said that upon the part of
the people of Saratoga he wished to say that
special arrangements would be made here for
the accommodation of the people who would
come to the convention, if it should be held
here.
Buffalo was selected by q vote of 10
to Is.
This was looked upon by the enemies of
many and Kings County members voted for
Saratoga and the County Democracy mem
bers were for Buffalo.
