in the United Confederate Veterans con-

whelming sentiment In favQrtOf Richmond
for the next meeting. SoEmuch enthu-

none desired to hear reports read. All8
thai atsswerc offered were received and
ordered printed. including the important

when lie announced that invitations were
in order there were many cries OF Rich
mond, Richmond. When Mayor McCar-

by General Lee, there was unbolindcd en-
,hus}asm.
Mayor Mccarthy, with voice pitched
high above the general ciamor and con-
fusion, soon caught the ear OF the con- !
ven,ioI. and before he was through with

for four years formed the bulwark OF
the cause for which they fought. He pre-
scntcd In attractive form the jamestown

see that Richmond had captured the con-
yentIon. Captain Stratton said:
