The Bangor Whig announces that Col. I. s.
Bangs will be n candidate for the office of Jun
Tor Vice Commander at the Baltimore session.
colonel Bangs was Department Commander of
Maine IN 1850. His war record is clean, he is
a cultured gentleman, and no man has more
the interest of the Grand Army at heart than
me- he Is all that any man can ask, and Maine
has had no representation in the three senior
offices of the National Encampmcnt since it
was organized
Past Department Commander W. G. Haskell
has received the elegant gold badge authorized
to be presented him by the Department of

The Grand Army of the Republic, Depart

The Department now numbers eighty-four

dations, both on the Encampment grounds and
in the city, for all old soldiers who desire to be
present. The Nebraska soldier BOYS are enthu-
siastic and cordial, and viii heartily welcome
Comrades from other States. Every northern
State has soldier representatives in Nebraska,

among the members of the Department. So
many regiments of Union soldiers have men,

of the Union is almost certain to meet regi-
mental and often company acquaintances at the
Reunion.
most cordial invitation is extended to
yourself and fellow Comrades to meet with us
and kindlc anew the Camp-fres, sing the old
time patriotic songs, and eat pork, beans, and
hard-tack once again before the long-roll IS
called at the Grand Reunion on the other

We confidently expect the COmmander-in-
Chief of the United States Army and other
old soldiers +o no rrecor+ orJ W.,
anticipate grand and glorious old-fashioned
Army Reunion.
