Proposed Reorganization Of Democratic
Campaign COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 9.--At meeting
of the Democratic congressional campaign
committee Congressman Kerr, chairman
of the Democratic state committee Of
Pennsylvania, proposed plan for re-
organization of the campaign committee,
which meets with general favor. 1t con-
templated the selection by the Democratic
state central committee. of every state of
one person, well known for his Democracy,
capability, energy and general knowledge
of the details of practical organization in
his own state, The man selected need not
necessarily be member of congress. The
idea is to secure a congressional committee
that will be in every sense representative
organization, and yet not individually in
terested in their own reelection. In ad-
dition to the full campaign committee,
Kerr suggested that an executive com.
mittee of nye be appointed for the purpose
of establishing a bureau, which will be
permanent feature of the committee.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENr.

In response to our request some thousands
of postal cards have been received from
comrades announcing their intention of
visiting the coming National Encampment.
But great as the number is, it is not one
hundredth Of what it should be. Every
man who thinks it all likely that he will
attend the Encampment should at once send
postal card, giving his name, address, regi-
ment, brigade, and corps. The good this
will do will be very great. The cards will
be at once assorted into corps, divisions, and
regiments by the committeeman Of these
various military units, and will greatly
facilitate the work of bringing comrades to-
gether. 1t will be known who are expected,
what preparations should be made for them,
and all comrades arriving in the city before
or during the Encampment viii find
out at once whom they are likely
to meet, and it will add immensely
to the interest and pleasure Of the
great gathering. Heretofore it was only
by chance that comrades were able to find
each other. To search for those one was
most anxious to meet was like hunting for
needle in haystack. By the arrangement
proposed it is hoped to make it so that every
man will at once be brought into the pres
ence Of those he most desires to meet.
Every man will go to his corps headquar-
ters, aud be directed to his regimental or
brigade quarters, and find there lists of those
of his old comrades who expect to be pres
ent, and he viii be on the lookout for them
and they for him. Therefore, he should moi
fail to send in at once postal card, with hi;
name, address, regiment, brigade, and corps
