holing and whispering in local Grand Army
circles at this time, and these operations will
continue until the first week in February.
The Department of the Potomac holds its an
nual encampment then, and at that encsmp-
men. will be elected the officers for the ensuing
year. Competition for the honorable posi-

but i. promises to be especially so in this in
stance, for the fortunate ones will be in power
when the national encampment fills Washing

the Potomac, and these will contribute 291 del
egates to the February encampment. These
