Such was our experience during the two days we attempted to hold a convention in St.James' Hall, Buffalo.

As we paid for the hall, the mob enjoyed themselves, at our expense, in more ways than one.

Every session, at the appointed time, we took our places on the platform, making, at various intervals of silence, renewed efforts to speak.

Not succeeding, we sat and conversed with each other and the many friends who crowded the platform and anterooms.

Thus, among ourselves, we had a pleasant reception and a discussion of many phases of the question that brought us together.
