The big feature of the re-unlon, tho parade of tho veterans, will be held tomorrow, and this pa rade will close the re-unlon of 1909. The only candidate for commander- in-chief placed in nomination was General William M. Cabell, com man der of-the trans-Mlssissippl division. just before nominations were In or der General Evans read an announce- irent to the convention, in which he declined re-election. He said he hacf served tn every capacity, from the lowest to the highest, and that he felt that this highest honor In tho veteran's gift should be passed from one ex-confederate to another In turn. But the delegates disagreed with him and by a vote of 1,640 to 744 for Cabell, re-elected General Evans to command. With tears streaming down his cheeks and shaking with emotion, the stately and aged soldier bowed to the commands of his com' rades. Session Was Stormy. His election followed one of the stormiest sessions of the veterans which old-time delegates can recall. After Mobile, Houston, Nashville, Chattanooga and Oklahoma City had been put in nomination for the next re-unlon, someone began to introduce ouUldc speakers. Sweltering In a tem- 1 erature of over a hundred degrees, the veteran delegates objected strong ly and yelled vigorously for a vote. 1 ut the disorder was desultory. Fi nally John W. Apperson, comman der-in-chief of the United Suns of Confederate Veterana, secured the floor and Introduced Congressman T, U. Sisslon, of Mississippi,- as the spokesman of the Sons.

Finally he concluded in a burst t eloquence, saying: "The principles you fought foi were right in '61 and are right' to day. You were not conquered then, you are not conquered now, and the greatest monuments in your honor are the millions of pensions the federal government pays to the widows and orphans your valour made and the forty-six thousand graves in Arling ton cemetery which the federal gov ernment decorates each thirtieth of May. As long as these monuments are perpetuated to your honor, you need erect no others." Slsson's speech was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and many confederates left the hall tn disgust Others rrowded around him and swamped him with congratulations. Woman Houses Tlicm. Meantime, Mrs. Moore Murdock, of Pallas, Texas, was endeavoring to bt heard. She wanted to second the nom inatlon of Houston, Texas, for the next re-unlon. She possesses a very masculine voice and manner of dellv ery and she soon quieted the asscm bly. The veterans listened in patience until she declared: "We have lived as Rebels, we an still Rebels, and we will die as Hub els." Then pandemonium broke loose. It was difficult to tell whether the ma- Jorlty favored her sentiments or op p. sed them. Cheers were mingled with cat calls and hisses, and above all reverberated the ear-splitting Reb el yell. Several other sneakers were Intro. duced, but no one heard their nulfcei or what they said until Governor Mas- ken or Oklahoma, wu 'introduced. frven he had a stormy greeting, which might be construed one way of nother.
