comment: Entered from New York Times article from 10/6/1898; stated time is approximate. Meeting held to ratify the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate for Governor of New York. Order of speakers uncertain; Lemuel Quigg presided. Quigg called the meeting to order and introduced Gen. Stewart Woodford, former Minister to Spain. Woodford apparently introduced Roosevelt and several of the other speakers.
