REUNIONS AND CAMPFIRES.

Renewal of Old Acquaintances Much En-
jOyed by the Veterans.
ST.. PAUL, Sept. 2.-Last evening was
given up to the grand reception and
, to three big campfires and even then
there were thousands who devoted
themselves to the minor side shows Of
all sorts that always accompany such
encampments. The reunions of the
afternoon We're greatly enjoyed by all
the veterans, but the general public
was not included and gave themselves
up to seeing the sights, not the least
being the beautiful decoration of the
SANITY City.
The grand reception which the ladies
had arranged for the veterans, was
primarily in honor of Commander-in-
Chief Walker and wife and staff, but
was made to include all visitors and the
reception hall was large enough for
even more than the thousands who did
attend. Summit avenue was the re.
ception room, and there were six recep-
ton centers, extending from Summit
park for more than half mile to West
ern avenue.
The Entire Street Was Closed
to all vehicles and given over COM
pletely to the grand reception. 'Nu-
merous electric lights brought out the
full beauties Of this handsomest street
in America and the decorations Of the
different reception stands and of the
many attractive residences served to
enhance the natural beauties of the
avenue. The main reception stand
was located at Summit avenue. At
this place the main reception party,
consisting Of the president of the local
committee, General E. @. Mason; and
wife; Chairman Of the Ladies' Com
mittee Mrs. r. M. Newport and Colonel
Newport; COMMUNICATIVE Chief Walker
and wife and staff; Department Com
mander J. j. McCardy and wife and
staff Hon. Alexander Ramsey, only
surviving war governor Gen. and Mrs.
Brooke and staff, Governor and Mrs.
Clough and staff, Mayor and Mrs. F.
B. Doran. Ladies' headquarters in the
handsome Kittson mansion was the
next reception center, and there Mrs.
John A. Logan was among the receiv-
ing party. Choice music was furnished
by several bands.
The Three Campflres.
The largest campfire was that at the
big Auditorium. The music, in charge
of Professor D. F. Colville, was one of
the features of this and the other camp
fires, and stirred the old vets even more
than did the speeches. The speakers at
the Auditorium included General Dan
lei Sickles, the hero of Gettysburg {;
Archbishop Ireland, who,was chaplain
Of a Minnesota regiment during the
war; Rev. j. p. Egbert, Hon. George
Bailey, Rev. DIR. H. A. Cleveland and
others. At the campfire at Martins
Opera House the speakers included
Major William Warner Of Missouri,
Colonel J. A. Watrous, Chaplain T. 9.
lift and others. At Market Hall there
were General A. O. Weisert, Colonel
w. F. Vernon, Hon. H. E. Russell,
Hon. Frank Seaman and others.

has been thought necessary to shorten
the length Of the grand parade OF the
old soldiers, and this years parade ex'
ceeded two miles by but trifle, and az
it was over smooth streets and easy
walking no ill effects were anticipated
from the tramp. Beside the meeting
and recounting Of old experiences and
renewing old acquaintance there is
nothing that goes ahead Of this event,
and to it many Of the old vets look for
ward through the entire year, saving
their strength for this return to the
days when, as comrades they carried
1nuskets and touched elbows and found
themselves not so stiff after short
march. AS the years have passed more
have dropped out Of line, many have
10 ned the Silent Majority,
and the gradually diminishing line
recalls the more than generation that
has passed since these were fighting
men without equals. The various di.
visions formed on the streets that cross
Western avenue, and when the final
gun was fired shortly after 10 o'clock
the parade began to move south from
Dayton and Western, moving south to
Summit, the various divisions, falling
in as the column passed.
General Walker and staff came first
the first division, headed by the
Veteran Signal corps, and in.

nQis, Wisconsin and Pennsylva-
mia, following. The Second division,
consisted of the department. Of Ohio and
New York. In the Third division were
the departments Of Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Maine, Califor.
mia, Rhode Island, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Potomac, Virginia and North
Carolina.
Tho Fourth Division
was made up Of the departments of
Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa
and Indiana The departments Of Col
orado, Wyoming, Kansas, Delaware,
Missouri and Oregon were in the Fifth
division. The Sixth division included
Kentucky, West Virginia, South d.
kota, Washington, Alaska, Arkansas,
New Mexico, Utah and Tennessee. In
the Seventh division were the depart
nents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Flor
ida, Montana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona,
Georgia, Alabama, North Dakota, Okla
homa and Indian Territory. The de-
partment Of Minnesota closed the
parade, comprising the Eighth division.

Discussing Candidates. .
The delegates have stood about in
groups all day discussing the political
situation, the availability Of candidates,
the platform to be adopted, the advisa-
bility of making this organization per-
manent, but little Of definite character
has crystalli7ed. The suggestion 2cf
Watterson for president, which seemed
to be in high favor yesterday, seems to
have gained NO ground today The
Kentucky delegation is pledged to
Buckner for vice president and the SEN
timent seems to be drifting back to the
original ticket suggested at Chicago
Bragg and Buckner. The Florida dele
CATION shook hands across the continent
with farof Washington in the person
of Hugh Wallace, who
Launched tho Cleveland Boom,
but the presidents friends in the inter-
vening states set their faces strongly
against all such suggestions Other
names nut forward are Secretary j.
Sterling Morton, Secretary Carlisle,
General John @. Black of Illinois, Sem
ator Villas, Senator Palmer, Exon
Rressman Cultivate and there is some
talk of Senator Gray Of Delaware, de-
spite his firm refusal. The Illinois del
egates say that the nomination Of Gen.
eral Black would interfere with their
local canvass, as they have nominated
General Black for governor. Daniel
Lawler of Minnesota is for Secretary
Carlisle. The Kentuckian's name is
received with favor, but there is an un-
dercurrent of opinion that the nomina-
ton of anyone connected with the adj
ministration would be unwise. The
Eastern delegates as rule are taking
no hand in the selection of the candi-
dates. Aside from the general question
as to how far the platform should go
beyond remuneration of the Chicago
platform and
Strong Financial Declaration,
a contest is likely to be preceipitated
over the question Of incorporating in it
an endorsement Of the principle Of an
income tax and declaration in favor
of the retirement Of the greenbacks,
coupled with the establishment Of a
new federal banking system. There
has been considerable discussion also as
to the form of the financial declaration,
the divergence Of opinion being as to
whether the plank should declare for
the gold standard with or without a
declaration for the bimetallic standard
by international agreement. The
money planks Of most Of the gold Dem
ocratic conventions are being examined
closely with Wow to reaching con-
census Of opinion. The demand for a
single declaration for the maintenance
of the gold standard comes principally
from the East, but has strong support
