Lieut.. Gems. Cabel and Lee were called

Gen. Wade Hampton was not able to
attend the reunion because of i'll health,
and therefore Gen. Gordon spoke for him,
saying:
Il stand here in his name to tell you
that no Confederate veteran was ever
truer to the cause that you immoratlize

| no other men within the tide of time In
mis- name l thank you for the renewal of

veterans rose and cheered the reelected

las, Tex, the daughter of Gen. Cabell.
EXTENDED a hearty invitation TO the con-
vention from Dallas She bore a message
from Gov. Sayers urging that the conven-
ton select Dallas as its next meeting
place. Mrs. Curry was followed by Gen.
Bennett H. Young of Louisville. who not
only extended an invitation from that
city, but insisted that inasmuch as the
heavy rains during the Confederate re-
union there prevented Louisville from
appearing at her best and greatly
limited the entertainment features,
the convention should be held there next
year and permit Louisville another OPP
portunity to entertain it.
Dallas Wins Over Louisville.
Instantly there were cries of Dallas
and these brought the Louisville advo-
Gates TO their feet with shouts for that
city. Gen. Gordon raped for order but
he was not needed. An effort to select
the meeting place by vive voce vote failed
and it was necessary to vote by divisions
After an hour of tumult the vote was
finally counted, resulting:
Dallas 1858, Louisville 1,046.
Gen. Young then. moved that the vote
for Dallas be made unanimous, which
was done.
The convention at $50 o'clock adjourned
sine die.
