A CONFEDERATE CAMP OBJECTS.
Politics Seen in the Invitation to

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Jan. 31.-Tur-
neg Camp. United Confederate Veterans.
Of Winchester, Tenn, has taken radical
action on the movement started in Mem

the annual Confederate reunion in May.
At its last meeting the camp adopted a
resolution asserting that this movement
savored Of partisan politics and requested
Gen. J. B. Gorodn. the communicative chief
Of the Confederate Veterans. 10 designate
some other city in the South in which to
hold the reunion if the invitation to the
President IS not revoked by the citizens
Of Memphis. Continuing the resolution
says:
To honor the President of the United
States is commendabIe en- all proper occa-
siOUs, but that 4 reunion Of Confederate
Veterans should be made the occasion for
such a demonstration by The city whose
invited guests We are to be at that par
ticular time, IS a departure from our uni
form custom throughout the history Of
our organization, the real sign lcance of
which must be the furtheraEce Of poIiti-

surabie purpose added Of a commercial
nature. We shall not consent that our
noble organization shall be pervaded by
the commercialIsm that seems TO doui-
nate almost all things else"

BASIS FOR REPRESENTATION.
Eirsinia's Constitutional Convention
Discussed Mt Richmond.

RICHMOND. Va. Jan. 31-The first dis
cussiOn Of the proposition for a basis of
representation in the constitutional con-
yenJion took place in the Senate yester-
day The subject came up On the Flood
and Sands bills, and there was an inter-
esting debate. The former provides for Il
body Of 190-one from each Of the House
districts The Sands measure Times
eighty delegates. two from each State
senatorial district The debate developed
opposition to both of these plans. The
Senators from the districts where the re-
cent census shows an increased population
insist upon the recognition Of the fact
in the representation provided for The
Second district and AlIegany and other
counties in that section Of the State we're
conspicuous among those claiming this in
creased representation.
TIE proposition OF Senator Wickham to
amend the Sands bill so as to provide FOR
tTo from each State senatorial district
and twenty from the State at large, to be
chosen from each CT the ten Congressional
districts, seems u be the most popular
plan.
M Lupton. of Frederick. made an fnef-
feCtuaI effort TO amend the Flood bill 50 as
to exclude offceholders from being mem
bers OF the convention. This proposition

II IS highly probable ma, BY this
time, Senator Frye wishes he had not
been so precipitate il declaring that he
meant to drive the Subsidy job through,
even if he had to side-track all the ap-
preparation bills 10 make way for it. 1t
is a manner which Mr. Frye seems to
have caught from MIR Hanna, but his
brother Senators are not more pleased
with it on that account. Far from fawn-
