slew our meo." Here tbe speaker
was interrupted by cbeeis and
applause from some of the members,
and cries of "Amon." Continuing
Mr. Martin said that the
south has no desire tocommit the
care of its graves to strangers.
Could the voices of the dead be
heard they would prefer to lie in
an unmarked grave rather thau
the most costlv mausoleum, if we
had to ask for it. Proceeding, he
began a discussion of the right of
self government and started to
quote President McKinley when
he was called to order with cries
of 4,noo politics."
CONFUSION WAS TERRIFIC.
The confusion was terrific, and
his remarks were unintelligible at
times.
F. II. Busbee of North Carolina,
defended the committee's report,
saying that the United
States was now our government.
They could not alFord to be discourteous
and unappreeiative.
He mentioned graves of the Confederates
at Elmira, N. Y., and
other points in the north. Where
were the southern women to take
care of those graves there? What
had his comrade, who proceeded
him, done tocare for these graves.
The United States care of these
graves was something, as a people
of a common country, they
were entitled to. Though he was
an ex-Confederate, lie was citizen
of the United States, and lie was
loyal to her flag.
Gen. S. I). Lee spoke vigorously
and plainly. lie thought the
resolutions had been misunderstood
and said '-it simply commanded
the sentiment expressed
by the president and did not go
one inch further. When the pres
ident comes forward and says
what he does, it, taking hundreds
of thousands o! dollars to care for
the graves, I commend the -sentiment/'
lie wanted the resolution
recommitted; there was noth J
ing in the matter that required a I
riubstitu te.
RESOLUTION CARRIRI) WITH A RUSH. J
Several other speeches were
made amid a general tumult and
calls for a vote, which was linally
had. There was a storm of ayes |
and hut a few navs, and the reso- >
lution was declared adopted. .
Among other resolutions re- i
ported and adopted was one nrg-i
ing the association to assist in i
marking the battlefields of the
Civil war with monuments to
Confederate dead ; another appointing
a committee of three to
consider the Oil est ion of uniform. I
ity of pension legislation by the I
southern states; and a resolution
recognizing the Confederate veterans
association of the District
of Columbia and according it all |
due rights and privileges. An ^
adverse report was made upon
the proposition to change the
name of the organization to the '
Confederate Survivors association j
the object being to use the initials
C. S. A, An unfavorable report
was also made upon a resolution
looking to a change in the j
nomenclature of the association, I
in order to prevent the creation
of too many generals and other '
high titles carried various offices.
A resolution of thanks for the j
presence of the cruiser Raleigh I
was adopted ; another looking to
the selection of a suitable gray
cloth for uniforms. Thanking
those citizens of Columbus, O.,
who haved cared for the graves
of Confederate dead there . and
extenaingcorrlial thanks to Lieut.
Col. Henderson, of the British |
stafF college, for his contributions
to the history of the Confederacy
in his "Life of Stonewall darkeon.",
ALL OFFICERS REELECTED.
(Jen. Gordon of Tennessee |
moved that the convention go in*
to election of its commanders.
He nominated the following for reelection
: f
Commander-in-chief, J. B. Gordon.
Commander department of (
Army of Northern Virginia,
Wade Hampton.
Commander department of Tennessee,
Stephen D. Lee.
Commander department of the T
trans-Mississippi, W. L. Cabell.
The rules were suspended and
Gen. Gordon of Tennessee, conducted
the elections, each of the
nominees being unanimeusly
elected.
At this juncture Gen. Clement 11
A. Evans presented the report of M
trustees on the "Battle abhev." C
It dealt fully with the progress b
of the work, bearing the usual re- ti
port, in which it appears that sat- d
isfactory arrangements are being 8
made for the location of the
building. Only $4G,000 of the
$200,000 is still lacking to be ^
raised during the coming year.
Gen. John O. Underwood was c
presented as the man who had r
done so much in Chicago for the '
care of Confederato graves and b
for the "Battle abbey." Gen. t
Underwood presented to the con- a
vention six portraits of Confederate
generals mentioning his object
in aiding the "Battle ab- .
bey."
A resolution of thanks to the
city of Charleston was passed and *
ar 2:15 Uie convention adjourned ^
sine die. r
Tonight at the auditorium a t
reception to the veterans was 1
held, the feature of which was an t
address by Col. II. L Turner of a
Chicago. Col. Turner has been a ^
guest of the city of Charleston ,
during the reunion, and his ad- _
t
dress was an eloquent question
to the reunited country. He was
frequently aoplauded, and the
sentiments he uttered evoked
much enthusiasm. Captain Coghlan
of the Raleigh was among
the distinguished guests who oc- 1
oupied seats on the stage, and, on '
being introduced, made a grate- 1
fill little address. He sketched 1
the battle of Manila bay and paid (
a glowing tribute to Dewey, say- *
ing that where ho led, men must
follow. ]

of The Democrat, Lancaster, X. II., <

There is a touching picture in
the pretty souvenir gotten out by
" the Southern railroad, mention of
which was made in last Wednesday's
paper. It is a picture of a
' squad of old soldiers sleeping on
the ground at the foot of Jackson's
monument in Richmond when
the Lee monument was unveiled.
J An early passer asKed them why
they slept there if they could get
no place to stay. "Yes," one of
the old fellows replied, uall Richmond
was open to us, but we
wanted to sleep with the Old Man
once more." That is a touching
, thing to me; and to make it
? more touching still, it will be but
