The Veterans Meet at Different Headquar-
tiers Today and Recall Old Scenes.
The different headquarters today have been
crowded by veterans conSratulating each other
on the great parade yesterday and reyiving
memories of the war.
Around the headquarters Of the Department
of Ohio last evening and today there was
constant stream of people coming and going.
Commander Mack was on hand the greater
part of the time and when duty called him else
where able Representatives took his place.
General regret was expressed when it was
learned that Gov. Mckinley had cancelled the
order for his room at the Ebbitt on account of
the death of his brother and many expressions
OF sympathy were heard. Gen. J. Warren
Keifer. looking very little changed since the
days when he was last in Congress, was a con-
spicuous visitor. He will preside at the meet
ing of the third division of the sixth army
corps tomorrow morning. Among those
who will be present is Gen. Wright,
the old commander Of tho corps.
The regular corps reunion takes place
in the afternoon. Both Gems. Keifer and
Wright will be present 1--WE shall support
Hurst, our own candidate for commander-in-
chief" said Gen. Keifer, when asked as to what
Ohio would do on the now important question.
"But suppose you find that Gen. Hurst has
no show, then what?'' 'When that contingency
arrives shall determine what to do, but un-
til that time are for Hurst first, last md all
the time" Past Department Commander
Bowling talked in the same strain. Gen. Hurst
himself WAS bout the Ohio headquarters good
share of the time, receiving returns from those
engaged in making the canvass for him. There
is some talk Of other candidates in the event
that Hurst shall fail, and both Lincoln and
Weissert will get votes when the break comes.

the home of Gen. Hurst. Secretary Foster sent
word to the headquarters that no would be pleased
TO his friends u. the treasury and may be de-
pended upon that he had many friends. A host
Of buckeyes thought they owned tho great
building, judging from the manner in which
they swarmed into it. The Indiana head
quarters being next 10 those of Ohio there
q general differentiation Of the veterans from
the two states. When Attorney General Miller
called at the Indiana quarters and pinned on
badge Of the Indianapolis boomers quite num-
Der from the buckeye throng paid their re-
spects to hinr. Many Ohio men wore lndianap-
oils badges and among them there was gen.
eral desire that the hoosier capital might be
given the next eacampment. In behalf OF the
boom for Indianapolis a number OF veterans
who we're good singers organized an expedi-
ton to visit other delegations With them
went Marshal Ransdell of the District Of Column
bia, who is an enthusiastic advocate Of his
state capital. Gen. Powell Clayton, ex-senator
from Arkansas, visited here and there the differ
ent headquarters and was everywhere welcome.
Judge David Harvey, delegate in Congress
from Oklahoma, modestly called at the OHIO
rooms. He served in the ranks Of the fourth
Ohio, and therefore felt some interest in max
ing the call.
Without ostentation ex-President Hayes, &c
companied by Gen. Force Of the Soldiers
Home at Sandusky, called at the headquarters.
