When the minority report OF the committee
on resolutions was presented, X. T. Newton
made an hours speech in defense of It, There
are some of MS, he said, who are opposed to
this hand-galop march into the Brndle-Tail
camp. The Minstrel party does not want
better thing than for us to take this hasty
action. am convinced that the convention
can be reassembled when it Is distinctly as
certaincd what the people want. Among the
members of this convention the merits OF on
ly one person have been spoken of--the Hon.
Joseph Brooks. You propose 10 adopt his
platform, and when you do that ask you
where Is the consistency that refuses TO IN
dorse him? Why can we take the platform
and not the ticket put forward on the 20 oil
May? We have done so as regards the Cin-
cinnati nominees, and why not do 50 rs 10
the State offices? Where Is the consistency
And vet there Is not man of the majority OF
that committee who has the manllness To pro-
pose the Hon. Joseph Brooks as their candl-
date. although they take his platform lfyou
take the platform, why not take the man VINO
made IL? Gentlemen OF the majority are try
ing to force down this-a Democratic conven-
tion-,Joscph Brooks, There Is no more com
parison between Brooks and Greeley than
there is between, daylight and dark; You
propose tacitly toNndorse the fsrindlc-Tail
nominee, and yet you dare r'os bring It to a
square issue IN this convention. IL you do not
dare to say at this time that Brooks is your
choice why not refer the matter back to .he
people and then meet again after that. and II
the conclusion Is that we must take BROOKS
let us do so without hesitation. When we
act let us do so as rarty. Ii you don't care
TO bring Brooks name before the convention
at this time. why not refer the subject back
TO the people, and after their wishes are as
certancd meet here again and decide defn-
itcly as to your action--if we must take
Brooks let it be done so at once. All the mi
nority ask is that you do not take upon your
selves the responsibility Of disorganizing the
