majority report, Tho question was
AZ 10 whether tho sovereign majesty Of New
York il rreat enough TO create for itself
representation in national committee or
whether that right shall DO wrested from hsr
10 DO exercised by her sister states: lap
plsuse.l ne proceeded TO discuss The cause
ofdivision In Now York, reciting the facts OF
the state convention at Syracuse, al whien
Kelly and his friends seeded -,
Mr.. Follows proceeded with argumenhve
statements to show that there was no par
alol between tho present situation and the
precedent of 1876, TO which reference mad
been made. The bolt at Syracuse was upon
q candidate and nothing else. The division
in 1876 was upon clear Auos-
ton Of principle and conviction. Tam
many, at Syracuse, bolted the nomination
and went out and nominated John Kelly and
defeated tho Democratic party. They now
come here over the slaughtered body OF the
Democratic party and insult you by asking
recognition at your hands. Applause.l
John Kelly had declared before the oreden-
tials committee last night, with all tho force
OF his language Mt command, Il you snail

they will" Laughter and applause,l The
galleries speak moro plainly than the men
upon this platform, but out of the mouths OF
babes and fools wo shall arrive at a correct
conclusion. IA voice "you supported Tweed.
Cries Of "put him out; put him out.',l
In conclusion I ask, dare you deny to tho
sovereign state Of New York the rights you
so proudly and Justly demand for yourselves:
ICheers.l Dare you violate her person and
irample her sovereignty to dust; FOR the
whole question is whether you will give TO
New York the right TO decide her own repre-
sentation, or take that decision as picked up
on the streets of Cincinnati, or as given BY
delegates from sister states. He appealed to
, South Carolina and tho southern delegations,
as advocates of state rights, to stand by the
principle involved. The question of individ-
7 uality coming hore from New York was ono
Of secondary importance, but beware how
, you smite the face of the Queen State OF tho
North. Applause.
MIR. wEsTBRooK,
Q of New York, occupied the five minutes

a said Il made no difference what

man as John Kelly. Applause and hisses.I
