Mr.. Krum remarked that he only desired to
make few remarks, explanatory of his report
What he had to say was not in re ference to the
merits and dement's of his report. He refer
red to the very unusual questions which had
como before the committee, and which duties
had been performed by the Committee with an
industry and impartiality that has seldom been
equalled. They had been actuated only by the
highest motives, and had calmly and deliber-
ately come to the conclusion to report what
they considered not only right and proper, but
for the best interests of the Democratic party.
He hoped that the report would prove accepti-
BILE to the Convention, and that the business
would go on harmoniusly to happy conclu-
sion.
Mr.. Stevens, of Oregon, arose to the report
minority of the Committee on Credentials,
and would proceed to read them, which he did
as follows:-- . -a .....
MINORITY REPORT.
70 the President of the National Democratic
Conventions: -..
Sir: We, the undersigned, members Of the
Committee on Credentials. feel constrained to
dissent from many of the views, and large
portion of the action of the majority of the
Committee in respect to the rights of delegates
to seats, referred to them by the Convention,
and to respectfully recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions:
Resolved, 1st. That B. r. Hailett is entitled
to scat in this convention, as delegate from
the 9th Congressional District of the State of
Massachusetts.
3D. That johnson B. Gardy, is entitled to
seat in this convention as a deleeate from the
9Th Congressional District of the State of Mis-
souri,.
Sd. That James A. Bayard, and William G.
Whiteley are entitled to seats in this Conven
ton as delegates from the State of Delaware.
4th. That the delegation headed by R. w.
johnson are entitled to seats in this convention
as delegates from the State of Arkansas
9th. That the delegation OF which G.. w.
Bryan is chairman are entitled to seats in this
convention as the delegates from the State of
Texas.
9th. That the delegation of which John
Farlton is chairman are entitled to seats in
this convention as delegates from the State of
Louisiana ...
7th. That the delegation of which L. P.
Walker is chairman are entitled to seats in this
convention as delegates from the State of Ala
bama.
9Th. That the delegation Of which Henry L
Benning is chairman are entitled to seats as
delegates from the State of Georgia
9th. That the delegation from the State OF
Florida accredited to the Charleston Conven-
tion are invited to seats in this convention and
cast the vote of the State of Florida.
The principles involved in these resolutions
and the facts upon which they rest are of such
gravity and moment that we deem il due to
the convention and to ourselves to set them
forth with care and particularly, We differ
radically from the majority of the committee,
both in much of the action we recommended
to the Convention and the principles which
should control such action. It is o question
not simply of the integrity but the existence of
the Democratic party in several States of this
Union It is question whether the Demo.
cratic party in said States snail be ostracised,
and branded as unworthy Of afiiiation with
the national organization. 9
1t is question whether persons rregularly
called, or who Withdrawing from the regular
convention, shall have the sanction of the na
tional convention, to raise the flag OF rebellion
against their respective state organizations. II
is question, whether the convention itself
shall repudiate it's own deliberate action. at
Charleston. We de not magnify the impor-
tsnce of these questions when we assert that
upon their proper solution depends the fact as
to whether there shall be national Democrat
ic party or not. The task will not be difficult
to show that the action recommended by the
majority of the committee is grossly inconsis-
tent, and should be reprobated and condemned
