old camp comrades who met for the
first time since the. early days of the
war when their regiments were organ
lied and drilled together at Camp
Chase, near Columbus.
The engineers had brought the train
from Waterloo almost on time, gaining
twenty-three minutes in the ninety
seven miles, and all were feeling pretty
good over the run. Mr.. Camp was the
plotting engineer, and was on the plat
form when the presidential party re-
turned from Washington park. Capt.
j. r. Merry. assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Illinois Central, saw
him and taking him as he was in his
working clothes escorted him through
where Mr.. Merry introduced him. The
fact that Mr.. Camp still wore his over
alis and jumper made no difference to
| the president, who greeted him with a
hearty handshake and introduced him
| to Mrs. Mckinley, who also received
him most cordially. When Mr.. Camp
mentioned the camp ground of the
Twenty third and Twenty fourth Ohio
regiments, the presidents and his own,
there was another hearty handshake.
Thus comrades of Camp Chase met
again, the first time since the dark
| days of the rebellion.
