Il IL expected thas between nifty and six
q OF the members Of the Savannah camps
viii attend the reunion.
Delegates have already been chosen
from both the Confederate Veterans As
ISOLATION and MeIaws Camp Of confed-
crate Veterans. and these gentlemen Will
leave the clay on Tuesday night for the
purpose OF attending the reunion. The
veterans Of Augusta have made extern
sive arrangements for the reception and
entertainment OF visitors 10 tho city and
{, Is expected THAI the social features
Of the reunion VIII be more than ord-
narlly pleasant
The veterans Of the state seem now 10
be united on the proposition 10 re-elect
Gen. Clement A. Evans commander Of the
division even against his expressed wish
IN this matter. SO ably and 20 well has
Gen Evans performed the duties OF the
office he has held for che past ten years
that there is not a veteran OF the divi-
sion who does not wish 90 have him sue
coed himself. The requirements OF the po-
eitloa are not easy and II Is essential chat
he who nils II should unite IN his one per
son a number Of varied qualities. These
requirements arc fulfilled by Gen. Evans
In a very remarkable degree.
The commander of the division has an
nounced his positive determination not TO
perms his name 60 be used again Ia con-
nectbon with the nomination, but from all
over the state has come n demand from
the veterans that he be elected 20 che
Office and urged and besought 20 accept
a. While Il may be that Gen Evans viii
persist IN declining the nomination, " Is
certainly equally probable that he VIII nm
ally be induced 20 accept n. That he
should accept II Is evidently the viii and
desire OF every member OF the division.
should Gen Evans persist IN his decli-
vowed. candidates for che honor in the
persons OF Gen. T.. MeGiashan aud Judge
Robert Faiilgant. Gen McGlashan f. the
senior brigadier general of the division.
and Is thus ln The direct line % promo
ton While he has annuonced In the past
that Il would be impossible for him 10
accept the ONCE were Il rendered him. Il
IL yet thought that. should Gen. Evans
positively decline. he might b. induced TO
accept.
Judge Talligant has made his candidacy
dependent upon two conditions. the re-
fusal OF both Gen Evans and Gen Nc
Giashsn to accept the office. Should
both OF them decline. il Is within the
range of possibility that Judge Faiiigant
could be Induced 10 make the race, and
II he did NO there IL but little real doubt
~ the election. Hts popularity with the
veterans ali over the state affords every
Reasonable assurance Of the correctness o.
his conclusions.
At the same lima and place Of the re-
union o. the vesersns. the annual oonyen-
ton OF tho Georgia Division o. United
Sons Of Confederate Veterans will b. held.

An Important matter 20 b. considerably
