DICK DONL|NG'S APOLOGY

OF MANAGERS is ACCEPTED AS
A FAIR STATEMENT.
THEIR INDIGNATION TRANSFERRED
To the "ObstructiOnists" In the Leg
isIature-They Propose to Com

IL Done the Old Soldier.

Houston Tex, Aug. 1.-(Special.) -
There was "A meeting this afternoon of
Dick Bowling camp, United Confederate
Veterans. A letter was read from Gen.
II. II. Phelps. endorsing the action of the
camp in looking into the workings of the
Confederate Home and rectifying them.
Ancnt the former action of the camp
on the Confederate Home, Comrade Lam
bert threw some light on the situation,
generating the board of managers from
all blame. He knew personally every Of
ticcr connected with the institution and
felt satisfied that the former action of
the camp was based on false information
obtained from prejudiced and chronic
kickcrS.
The following was then read, IL copy of
which will be sent to the board of man
ayers at Austin:
Comrades of Dick Bowling Camp
The reply of the members composing the
board of management OF the Confederate
Home, to criticisms of committee OF Dick
Bowling camp, appearing to be fair ana
manly statement of their position. ana
not wishing to do an injustice to these

drawal of the charges made, so far as
the charges affect them, but take pleas
IRE in transferring our Indignation to the
'obstructiOnists who prevented the IN
digent soldier from receiving the benefits
of Il small piltancr at home i'll lieu OF
having to desert family and friends and
dragging ont their small remnant OF HE

I'VE insist cmphatically that if il is
possible to ascertain the identity of these
'obstructionists' they should be ignored
hcnccfOrth ut the ballot box, not only
by the cX-cOnfcdcrates but by union sol
diprs. for we confidently believe honest
men of all shades of opinion calling
themselves citizens of Texas recognize
the urgent necessity of assistance FOR the
poor men. We know that members OF
the Grand Army of the Republic are rs
willing and as eager To see their former
rocs-but now citizens under the same
flag receive this pittancc. If they can
afford to be so magnanimOus. whatever
could possibly actratc men who claim to
have been confcdcratcs? What are they
trimming their sails for? Instead of

There will be Il terrible crush when
