Ington-Nsws Notes nnd Personals.
Mr.. G. S. Moore is among those who
have returned from the q. A. r. en-.
canpment at Washington, aud says
there was room for everybody to sleep
il they made little effort and plenty
to eat. Mr.. Moore had an excellent
place to sleep at 81 per night, and says
his meals-good ones-cost only % cents
each. He says no man ut the great en-
campment received a greater ovation
than ex.President Hayes, who marched
in the ranks with the boys, and Ohio
was strictly in it. Ohio men could be
seen everywhere, and Pennsylvanians
thought Ohio would carry off the honors
in the parade. 1t was common sight
to see men marching up Pennsylvania
avenue forty abreast, and one OF the
features was great lot OF one armed
men marching in platoons OF thirty
two, men with their left arms of march
ing platoons OF sixteen and those with
their right arms of in platoons OF six
on the right. Mr.. Moore saw fully q
hundred one legged men in tho parade,
and one.tenth that number in invalid
carriage chairs. The wheelbarrow man
from Michigan was there in the height
of his glory. Not twenty-five intoxi-
Gated "vets" were seen. They went to
see and be seen, and many drinking
men would take drink and stop at that.
Mr.. Moore talked with men from all
parts OF the country, and every one OF
them reported the Republican prospects

few Of the wealthy Republicans were

protection.
