New York's Democratic Party met in Albany to nominate candidates for the upcoming state elections. They chose John Thompson Hoffman, the Mayor of New York City as their candidate for governor and J.V.L. Puyn for lieutenant-governor. Neither were successful in the fall elections, though Hoffman was elected governor two years later.
