cal commandery of the Union Veterans
Union at its meeting Monday night for
election as member of the commandery

and then a delegate to the convention in

vention an Endorsement of his claims
for reinstatement chief of the Bureau

erence, and when his name was proposed

This disposed of his chances for be-
coming a delegate to the national con-
vention. So certain had the friends of
Capt. Meredith been of His election as a
delegate that his credentials had already
been sent to him and all that was nee
essary was to notify him of his election
by telegraph and he could have present.
