indications at least 10000 of these
veterans will come across the Rocky
Mountains to attend the encampment.
The duty of providing fer the enter
tainment of this vast number has been
imposed upon the General Committee
o. Management. 1t is a duty inyOlv-
iGg hard and constant labor, the details
of which can scarcely be imagined !;
comparison may, however. be made
by those who had experience 10 the
Triennial Conc.aye of 1883, which
occasion brought to this city scarcely
5000 people, exclusive of these from
the Pacific States.
The committee was appointed by the
department commander, and has al
ready been at work seven months. its
organization, acts and proceedings thus
far met with the unanimous approval
of the department encampment which
assembled at Sacramento. February 15,
1886. To properly receive, care for
and entertain our guests will require
9 large expenditure of money, which
must be raised by contribution from
eur generous public.
The Committee of General Manage
ment has selected finance committee
fer the occasion, which will have
charge of the collection of all moneys.
1t is composed oflesdinS business men
of San Francisco; men Of acknowl-
edged integrity and ability. and whose
names are u sufficient guaranty that
all contributions Of money to This
object will be honestly and economi-
cally expended.
AT an early date the Finance Com
miftee will call upon our citizens for
subscriptions, and in anticipation of
the call. the COMMITTEES of General
Management has thought proper To
issue this address.

No such gathering o: the heroic sur
vivors of that great army will ever
again be held within our borders, and
perhaps never again in the world they
will come from all parts of the Union,
and from all walks aud conditions in
life. They are coming that our rising
generation may tread upon the battle

the Grand Army and learn from the

that mighty host beneath whose tread
this continent rocked but a few years
ago"
They are coming twenty thousand
