SON
The confusion at this point was
great. Voices were heard from all
parts of tho Court House, and de-
mands were made for another vote
some of the soldiers claiming that
they had no voice in the organization
Of the meeting.
Captain KAGA-" M. Chairman :
1t is well understood that this meet
ing was called for the purpose of
choosing delegates TO the Convention
to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, aud for
the purpose of approving and cndor-
sing tho address and declaration of
principles made at the Philadelphia
Convention, held on the nth of Au-
gust. Now, the friends of that call,
and the friends of the National Con.
ycntion of Soldiers and Sailors, to be
held at Cleveland, Ohio, have issued a
call for meeting here to-day, to APP
point delegates to that Convention,
and it was expected that all those who
l wanted 20 como would come, and that
those who did como would behave
themselves. 1t was not expected that
those who did not endorse the Phila-
dclphia or Cleveland Convention,
would try to take charge Of this meet
ing. Ifthcy want to listen in silence
thcy can do so aud if they have any
questions to ask, | suppose that oui
speakers will answer them civily.-
i We have possession of the Court House
and have organized our mccting.-
There are other places whore you cat
meet, if you desire to do so.
