challenge and since it is evident that the Bou-
LANCER agitation is not merely superficial or
transparent, but an organized attack upon the

net to propose to. the chambers for adoption such

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY,

roll of the Departments was called. No noml-
nations were made until California was reached,
when Gibson presented t. II. Goodman. Com
rade Goodman entered the army as private,
and rose to the rank of Captain. His record
was good, his life has always been clean. No
man is better or more favorably known all
over the Pacific Coast. He was an enthusiastic
K. man, and has always labored hard for
the upbuildng of the Order. The Pacific Coast
was entitled to the honor for at least one term.
If it was given it would insure an administra-
ton eminently successful.
COmrade Gardiner presented a name not only
honored in Michigan, but wherever law, litera-
ture or medicine extended their influence 1t
was that of man who enlisted in the army as
private, and who, on that terrible second day
of Chickamauga, made his way through the
storm of bullets to tell the sorely- beset Thomas
the news that Steedman was coming, and by
his gallantry gained the confidence of Thomas
and position on his staff, which he held for
two years. This man was Col. Henry NJ Duff
field
Comrade Rassieur, of Missouri presented one
of whom it was hardly necessary TO speak at
length to comrades who had labored so long and
we'll by their sides. He is the idol of Mis-
sourians-not only because he appears well on
parade, but also because when the fight is on
he is always where blows are dealt the thickest
he was William Warner. He proceeded to
warmly eulogize his candidate.
Comrade Thompson, of New Hampshire pre-
sented as the unanimous choice of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont the present Junior Vice
Commander Chief, John c. Linehan.
Comrade Warner Miller put in nomination
Gen. n. NJ. Curtis. He urged his election for
two reasOns-first, New York had not had but
one Commander-in-C Chief, and that was 10 years
ago. New York had sent to the front 100000
soldiers. But this was not the strongest rea-
son. No man entitled to wear the GAR. but
ton had done more for the veterans than Gen.
n. M. Curtis. He had been elected almost
unanimously Commander of the Department
of New York in recognition of his services for
the veterans in the Legislature and elsewhere.
He has devoted the last - or Is years of his
life to advancing the interests of the private
soldier without seeking anything for himself.
If elected it would help bring into the GAR.
all the veterans in New York who are now
outside of the Order, and start a movement
which would extend to every part OF the coun-
try. Comrade Miller gave an eloquent sketch
of Gen. Curtis's military career, and wound mp
with an appeal to the comrades to place him at
the head of the Order.
A comrade from Vermont put Judge Advo-
cate General Wheelock G. Veazey in nomina-
ton. The Encampment took recess until
8 o'clock tomorrow.
