majority Of the party leaders and DiemDc's VI 80
State Committee favor September TO- or as n.o 49, a
date as possible. This will be carry en""s, -

No erreenent has yet been reached in regard to the
place OF holding the convention. Saratoga ROCHESTER,
syracuse and Buffalo all favored, and wtnih the
last week strong sentiment has sprung up ior tiis
city. Strange 10 say, this sentiment exists not SO
much among New Workers, though OF course uley III

that NewYork City Just the place for the convention

great objection to the metropolis that the large num-
Der hotels here is apt to prevent the delegates fo

gestion that the meeting be held at Manhattan Beach
This suggestion Is received with much favor by sew
eral members of the committee, one Of whom, In
letter this paper argues In favor OF It's adopuoh as
follows: al do not know how the other members OF
the committee feel the subject but for my part,
would like to change this year as TO the place OF

nvigoratlng and II AM correctly informed, there
are ample facilities there for holding the blggest KIM
OF a convention The Music Pavilion is well adapted
to such meeting shall have and the two hotels,
the Oriental and the Manhattan, are all that could be
desired for the accommodation Of the guests. say
Manhattan Beach instead of NewYor because the OBJ
lection against the metropolis that the delegates be-
come scattered in consequence OF the large number OF

know what arrangements could be made with the Long
Island Railroad people, but assume that they Woulu
be glad to have the meeting held there and would CO.
operate In extending all the facilities they had toward
making it success. 1t is not likely that the cOnven-
lion will be held before the second week in september,
and by that time the majority Of the summer guests
will have departed from the beach All in ALL it
seems to me the best place. While it might not be ap-
prcclatcd by you folks who live in and around New
York and have daily TO the seaside am sure t
would be greatly enjoyed by patriots who reside in the
daily dose Of Atlantic ozOne'
The Long Island Railroad people, as might be eX
pected are heartily In favor Of the project. Mr.
Corbn says he will provide free transportation for the
delegates to the Beach, and as most Of the summer
guests at the Oriental and Manhattan will have de-
parted by the time the convention opens, both those
hotels will be at the service Of tho visitors The Music
Pavilion would be handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion music ard furniture would be provided, and in
fact everything possible would be done to entertain
the members OF the convention.
Since the announcement made in The Tribune, the
correctness of which has yet attempted to
deny that Tammany and Hill had agreed upon Roswell
p Flower for Governor less interest Is naturally felt
in the Democratic State Convention. 1t will be held,
In all probability after the Republican ticket is placed
I'm the field and the drift of sentiment to be In
favor OF Saratoga as the place for it, The Democratic
State Convention in 1888. at which delegates
elected to the National Convention in st. Louis. was
held in NewYork. The convention that renominated
Governor Hill that year was held in Buffalo. The
convention Of 1850 held In Syracuse; so there Is
some reason for thinking that Saratoga may capture
