A special to the Columbus Journal says
Considerable discussion was indulged in re-
garding the instructions which should be
given the delegates to the national encamp-
ment concerning the whereabouts of the
next national encampment 1t was gener-
ally conceeCed that Nashville, Tenn. was
the point at which the encampment should
be- held. \ large number of the comrades
were deSirOus of having this encaInpment
in ONO in 1887. \ delegate from Dayton
asked that they be- instructed to recommend
Dayton rs the place. A delegate from
Springfield, with a mOdeSty most touching
suggested that there were only three cities
in the state capable 0f entertaining such a
large body of men. The cities he had in
mind were Cincinnati, Cleveland or Spring
field. The entire business was voted down,
and the delegates will go uninstrncted.
