mensc throng Of people was present,
and the exposition grounds, where
the convention was held in large

were crow ded The auditorium was
handsomely decorated.
AS General Gordon showed his face
on the rostrum mighty Con federate
yell went up. and the battle Scared
veteran received an ovation.

and the people shouted.
Before the convention was called TO
order, General Gordon was presented
with gavel made from tree from
che battlefield of ChicSamaugu. Rev.
j. William Jones offered fervent
prayer to the God of Lee and Jackson
and Davis. General Gordon. without
making speech, introduced Governor

eloquent address In performing this
task.

epitaph he wanted written on his
tombstone was that he was Confed.
