Ii there was ever any time when sprink
ling is necessary it is just now, during the
week of the encampment. Yet we notice
than many of the streets over which the
spray has heretofore been spread with precis-
ion and regularity, are left without theil
| usual deluge of dampness. Keep the streets
wet, gentlemen contractors. On such occa-
sions dampness, damnable damp in fact, is
preferable to dismal, disgusting and dirty
dust
No meeting last night at Indiana head
quarters, but the rooms were filled with visit
ors from the Hooeier state and resident Indi-
anians, some of them renewing "auld &C
quaintances," and others cutivating the
''ties that bind" Among those already reg
istered are Gen. Manson, Charlottesville; j.
E. Whist, Madison: VIII C. Paine, Evans
vile; James B. MILKY, Bloomington, and
many others. Large delegations are antici-
pated, and by tonight it is expected the reg
lister will present an array of names such as
| will do credit to the association and the city
of their adoption.
Altogether the thing will be about equa-
lized; in this-that we will have General
Logan, candidate for vice president on the
National Republican, and General NJ. D.
| Manson, candidate for Acknowledgements
on the Indiana Democratic state ticket with
us during the week OF the encampment.
| Both were good soldiers.
The rooms of the Indiana association,
rooms and ~, Syndicate block, are hand
somely decorated and will prove a welcome
+ haven of rest for the Indiana visitors. The
| Hoosier state was RATHER during the war,
| it is a rattler in politics and it is rattler
socially. Over the door is inscribed ''wel-
come" inside is hearty and wholesouled
recognition.
| What godsend it would be if lumber,
stone and wood wagons could be sent on
| other avenues to their destin atoms than by
-Nicollet, Hennepin and Washington. They
are always in the way on these thoroughfares
but now more so than ever.
The GLOBE building on the ground is
deliberately decorated.

The Sons of Veterans, Geo. N. Morgan
post camp, under command of Capt. Knowl-

will arrive to-day from Kansas City, and will
take quarters at the Minnesota headq uar-
