Shepard was credited with some re^marks questioning the loyalty of ex-Con^^federates in the south to the union. It^should be stated here that Col Shepard,^in an interview in a morning paper,^said his remarks in the first^interview have been garbled and their pur^^port miscontrued When the convention^came to order this morning, Dr. Cranfill,^of Waco, Tex., moved a committee be ap^^pointed to investigate the mental condi^^tion of Col. .shepard. and J. T. Stack, of^o.ange, Tex., seconded the motion, which^was promply ruled out of order. The re^^mainder of the morning session was de^^voted to the reading of papers. In the^afternoon T. B. b 'dredge again brought^up the Shepard matter, spying the south^^ern delegates had decided tbat should Col^Shepard further address the convention^tbry would not attend the meeting.

Chicago,Aug 2^ ^In the neetfng of^(he Nation*!

Lovett, of New Jer^^sey, junior vice-corumanOr. Tbe encamp^^ment refused to recognize the Sons of Vet^^erans as an auxilary to the G. A.

Thechief event of the day was the red^hot time over tbe resolutions indorsing Pen^^sion Commissioner Tanner. Perkins, o f^Kansas, introduced a resolution thanking^the administration of President Harrison^for tbe honor it has com erred on tne Grand^Army in appointing Corporal Tanner aa^pension commissioner, and heart^^ily indorsing the latter'a condn ct^of the bureau. and denouncing^tbe bitter and malignant criticisms of the^press upon his official conduct. Oen.

We should make our endorse^^ment strong enough: if Tanner is dishon^^est or has done any criminal act^we will find it ont when the^investigation comm.ltce now at work^makes t's report ^ A delegate from Min^^nesota urged *he encampment to stand op^to tbe rack and say that the G.
