as follows:
"After heaing the contest;ng delega
tions from the State of New York. ",
find that the State is divided into twt
factions, each having all essentials O
perfect party nseanizafiAn. ard eanh as
suming to represent regularlyEa o larr,
body of Democratic voters of that State
that each of said party divisions has held
Stats Convention under a rearlar cell
and has duly elected DELEGATES to repre-
sent the State of New YORK in the Gon
ventlon; that the attitude of these fac
tions is precisely analogous to that of tht
Democrats OF that State in 1856: tbat ID
unite the party at that time. the Nationa
Convention divided the delegations, al
| lowing each TO cast half the yotes tc
which the State was entitled in that Con
ventlon; that such action united the party
in the State of New York, and eventuatef
| the election Of q Democratic President
We believe that q similar course at thi,
time will result in o kindred success. and
we therefore recommend the adoption Of
| the following resolution:
| "hesotccd, That the Faulkner branch
of Democratic delegation from the State
1f New York be allowed to cast fifty votes
in this Convention, and that the Shake
spcare Hall Democracy be allowed to
cast twenty votes in said Convention, an6
that each of said divisions shall deter.
min2 its methods of counting such
/ votes" e
After the reports had been fully and
freely discussed, vote was taken on the
substitution OF heminority report, which
stood 205s for and 457 against. So the
minority report was rejected.
