by large majority. He then an.
nounced that the state central commit-
tee had selected James L. O'connor as

cluded the delegates went wild with
enthusiasm. After the announcement
OF the committees Oh credentials, reso-
buttons and permanent organization,
the convention took recess until

CATION. He is given almost autocratic
powers. General Wheeler has ordered
him to get at the bottom of all the
things that have been complained of.
The subjects General Ames is to in.
vestigate are: "Why is the general
condition of the camp SO poor?" ''Why
do the conditions that prevail exist"
"Who is responsible?'' "Why were
troops sent before the camp was ready
to receive them3" "Why, since there
is but one railway leading into the
camp, boats were not used to carry
men and provisions from New York
CITY," "Why medicines were not or.
dered, and if they were ordered why
were they not Distributed" "Why
were the hospitals crowded." "Why
were the troops allowed to lie in the
harbor without supplies and relief be-
ing sent out to them?"
There is dissatisfaction in the camp
of the rough riders. They are not sat
isfied with the terms of their muster
out. They wanted to be treated the
same as the other volunteers. The reg
