who withdrew from the convention, there was no
other course to be pursued than for known and dis
tingnished members of the party to issue the call,
and for the Democracy to sustain it by the appoint
ment of delegates in accordance with such call
An emergency had arisen, and inasmuch as the
executive committee had refused to act, it seemed
to the committee that there other course lett
to the Democracy of Louisiana, bnt to assemble IN
convention upon the spontaneous call of individual
Democrats.
GEORGIA.
The admission Of both of the delegations present
ing themselves from -Geogia, was recommended be-
cause the counties believed that each of those
delegations represent the opinions and sentiments
OF part of the Democracy of the State. The
withdrawal from the convention OF part OF its
members was accustomed the evidence before the
committee demonstrated, by difference of con-
struction between them and their associates upon
certain points in the Democratic platform.
Two conventions, each claiming to be the correct
and only opponents Of the Democratic sentiment
OF the State, were held, and each appointed dele
CATION to this convention. The regularity of both
Of the conventions involved in doubt At all
events one does not seem more regular than the
other
After full investigation of the facts in this case,
the committee, deeming it Of the highest impor-
lance that the harmony Of the party in Georgia re-
qured that both delegations should be admitted up
on the floor of the convention with equal privileges
so recommended to the Convention in their report.
1t is undeniable that the appointing power in
both cases was composed of delegates fresh from
the ranks of the Democracy and in the opin-
ion Of the committee, the irregularities alleged
IN either case were not sufficient to Justify the ex-
clusion of either of the delegations
The committee consisted of twenty-five members,
and the majority report received the sanction of
sixteen, to the greater portion of it and the whole
is approved by fifteen. The minority report is ap-
proved altogether by nine and but partially by one
member
Practically. then, the question is presented by
themnority report shall the statements and opinions
Of nine gentlemen outweigh and overbalance the
statements and opinions of fifteen of equal respect
ability, touching the same matter?
