yesterday as the DISCUS; Of the men OF syracuse
who were disappointed in not getting the conVeh-
ton One Of the leaders in the movement to give
the Democratic State Convention to Syracuse was
Colonel John II. Gaynor. who came to New-iork
early last week with ex-Mayor William B. Kirk
Of that CITY, and with the aid of several other Dem
ocrats some OF Syracuse and some OF New-I ork
began to LAY pipe" for the object named Colonel
Gaynor il the statesman who gained fame through
out the State five years ago when DAVID l5 hh
and Warner Miller running for Governor pN
saving that Governor Hi would rather have the
supnort of the saloons than the churches.
Colonel Gaynor was much displeased by the ac-
ton OF the leaders in reversing what appeared 10
| be the arrangement on Friday night when syria
| cuse held all appearances the winning cards
| The Colonel spent most of yesterday In denounc-
| ing the men whom he believed had brought about
