| Text | [reporting on the NL special meeting in Rochester] Treat, of Buffalo, spoke at length upon the subject, showing what a fallacy it was, not a delegate was present that could say that his expenditures had been decreased by it. He knew that many had paid more in order to keep their men and still they said that it was a move to cut down salaries. Brown, of Worcester, who had been as uneasy as a body with a hot biscuit in his pocket, was the first to give their secret away. With his face wreathed in smiles he congratulated every body with the success of their scheme, and told the Buffalonians that he was sorry that they had lost. Defreest, of Troy, said that they had done something they had before, &c. The fact was they had decided to carry the matter through by a majority, although it was merely a business agreement. It was an insult to Buffalo, and all semblance of courtesy and legality was cast aside to allow two mere villages to retain their men in preference to favoring Buffalo and Cincinnati. The most audacious part of their agreement was, we are informed, signed in order to pacify Soden, of Boston. Snyder last year eloped from them to go to Washington. This year the Bostons want him again, and to keep her solid the conspirators agreed not to approach Charles, and he will remain practically as reserved. |
