Veterans refused tonight to adopt letter
to the camps, written by General Peyton
Wise, chairman of the committee. because

action of the latter in regard to the pro.

Walker was not a patriot, and deserved the
censure and condemnation of all good peo-

bate, and a stormy scene resulted.
General Wise declared that unless the
letter was approved he would throw up his
position and let some one else look after
the reunion. The letter was finally laid
