John Kenyon and Reuben L. Fox acted as secretaries
| Before the opening of the meeting which wa4
held in Parlor d. r. of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
the corridor was filed with the members and promt
inent party leaders, including ex-senator Warnet
Miller, who sailed for Europe late in the day.
The feeling of satisfaction over the appointment
of Senator Fassett as Collector was particularly
noticeable on all sides, and at least score of
| times it was said that the change was
worth at least 5000 votes to the party in thd
coming campaign.
Mr.. Quackenbush, in calling the meeting tG
order, briefly referred to the business before the
committee. On motion Of Mr.. Van Cott the time
was then agreed upon, September 0. This was car
ried unanimously. Then came up the question
of place. A delegation, of which Congressman
BeIden wac chairman, came from Syracuse TO adj
vocate the choice of that city. Mr.. Belden did
not appear, but the other members, Alderman
Stevenson, who represented the Mayor and city
officials Of Syracuse; Daniel Rosenbaum and Il,
VI. Wells, all made speeches. which were listened to
attentively by the committee, as were those of
the Saratoga people, David T. Richie, A. f.
speech was made for Rochester, that BY
Mr.. Aldridge. Nevertheless, when the vote
was taken he had safe majority. The results
pleased everybody, even those who wanted other
places chosen. II was called TO mind that the
historical convention in which Conkling arraigned
George William Curtis and Of which ex-senator
Platt was temporary and permanent chairman waa
held in Rochester just fourteen years ago.
brief but telling speech in behalf Of tho
colored voters was made by the Rev. Dr. Derrick
and then The chairman read letter from Th&
Tribune profering The services Of ex-Congressman
HOrr, late of Michigan, but connected with this
paper for the campaign in this State. The offeH
was accepted with thanks, and Mr.. Horr wills
stump the State during October his expenses
being betrayed by The Tribune
The resignation of Chairman Knapp was not
discussed 1t being agreed that his successor should
not be chosen until the new committee Is elected
at the State Convention. He will, therefore, re-
main at the head Of the committee, though Mr..
QuaclSenbush, chairman Of the Executive Com
mittee, may have to perform most of the work, in
consequence of the Generals poor health.
1t was decided that the committee should hold
its next meeting in Powers Hotel, Rochester, on
September 8, at o'clock in the evening. The
secretaries before adjournment were directed to
prepare and issue the regular call, which Is as
