THIRTY-THIRD
NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT AND
REUNION
Grand Army Of the Republic,
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 40. 1888.

Philadelphia, August 9. 1ss9.-There
will be no trouble for the veterans
who attend the 33d National Encamp-
ment of the Grand Armv of the Repub-
lie to be held in this city the first
week in September. to find each other
The most complete system OF registra-
ton ever adopted will be used. so that
the comrades are sure OF meeting and
falling into each others arms. BY the
system, a man may find where an old
friend is located in a few minutes, and
this will be of the greatest Importance
to the veteran who comes to the city
stranger and alone. He may have
been in the city before, but he will now
want to meet some of the men VINO
were with him during his campaigns.
Well, he'll f1nd 1t easy to do this. What
this man wants to know Is what are
the special inducements for him to
come to Philadelphia.
He can get the information he needs
without any loss Of time. The way that
is to be accomplished is this: The
Registration Committee. of which Har-
ry L. Neall is the head, have arranged
| 1000 receptacles. designating regiments.
| war vessels, etc. giving accommoda-
tions for 10000 names.
What is wanted now is this: There
are about 10000 comrades in Philadel-
phia and $500 in Camden, who are
members of Posts and whose Regis
. tration will be obtained through the
Post Adjutants. There are 1000 COM
rades in the two cities who are not
members Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, and they will also be regis
| tered, so that their old friends may be
| able to find them. Their names should
be sent to the Headquarters of the G..
A. r., Fifth and Chestnut Streets, or
| to the Registration Committee, Room
III, City Hall.
|
| ton Committee aggregating fourteen
| thousand resident comrades. each OF
them ready and anxiously waiting to
greet his old army associates. What
that greeting will be. and what kindly
attention will be shown the stranger.
| can only be known and appreciated by
| one who has performed soldiers duty
| in time of war. and who has formed a
soldiers friendship.
The General Committee are exerting
every effort to accomplish this end and
the Registration Committee are busy
| registering the names of those who will
be in attendance.
| The plan pursued is to correspond
with the organization, whether Posts
| or regimental associations. which have
| signified their intention of coming to
the Encampment, and forwarding to
them sufficient cards at least ten days
before the opening Of the Encamp-
ment. The difficulty will. however. be
to get the names of those who will
come.
The plan to be pursued outside of the
city is to correspond with the organi-
cations, whether Posts or regimental
associations, which have signified theil
intention of coming to the Encamp-
ment, and forwarding to them suffi-
cient cards at least ten days before the
Opening Of the Encampment. The diff
ficulty will be to get the names OF
those who will come individually, and
every comrade who reads this article
should make up his mind that the nee
essary part of his coming here is t.
be registered. or he will lose half the
pleasures to be enjoved.
Comrades, a royal welcome awaits
Iyou.
