BUFFAIo. N. Y, Aug. 2a.-Buffalo is
all ready for the army OF veterans VINO
are on their way here to attend the
thirty-first annual encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. During
the night hundreds of veterans and
their friends arrived, and to-day they
are coming in by thousands 1t is es-
timated that nearly 5000 strangers
were in town yesterday, and that from
Is, 900 to 20, 900 came in to-day.
The various railroads entering Buff.
falo report that in addition to the nun
dreds of regular trains, schedules have
been prepared for 245 specials to arrive
here by Tuesday noon.
Among the prominent arrivals are
J. Cory Winans. of COMMANDMENT
Chief Clarkson's staff; j. s. Lewis,
past junior vice-commander, and Dam
ial Ross, of Wilmington, Del, candi-
date for junior vice-commander-in--
chief.
Camp Jewett, as4the city of tents is
known, is all ready for its inhabitants,
and while it will not be formally
opened until four o'clock this at
ternoon, a number of posts are al
ready installed. Ample arrangements
have been made at the camp and else
where for the care of the sick. Three
hospital tents have been erected at
Camp Jewett, each in charge OF COM
petent staff Of physicians.
The honor of flying the first PEN
nent from any tent ut Camp jew
EFT belongs to Reno post, No. 64,s
of Williamsport, Pa. A detach-
terday, who were assigned to tents 81
30. Clayton p. White, of Williamsport,
was the first veteran to arrive, and he
is quartered on the steamer Idaho,
which has been assigned to the naval
posts.
Among the later announcements of
candidates to succeed COMMANDMENT
Chief Clarlxson, are the names of John
c. Linehan, of New hampshire
George II. Innis, of Massachusetts,, j.
II. Sexton, of Chicago, and James p.
Goblin, of Pennsylvania.
Col. Winans, of commandments
Clarkson's staff, estimates the number
of visitors to Buffalo during the week
at zoe, 900, making the largest encamp-
ment ever held.
In speaking of the choice of the
veterans for the next encampment,
Col. Winans said that so far as his
information went there was but one
choice among the delegates and that
was Cincinnati. There seems to be
feeling, he said, among some of
the eastern people that San Francisco
wants the encampment, but this is a
mistake. San Francisco is preparing
to make bid In 1899.
With regard to the epcampment be-
ing held in Richmond, Va, he asserted
that there is nothing in it. The peo-
pie down there do not want it. and
the veterans do not care to go there.
The chief objection, he said, was the
certainty of unpleasant complications
over the color line.
Col. Winans says Pennsylvania will
send the nRost people to the encamp-
ment, with New York second and Ohio
third in attendance.
