REUNION of Buford's Cavalry.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have at
tended the most of the National Encamp-
ments, and have been twice at Gettysburg
and over the old battefields. Wherever
meet one of the Sth N. Y, Sth or 10Th H.
they ask why cannot we have a Reunion? :?
The Encampment at Chicago would be the
most suitable place we could find, as many
of the boys are in the West, and if we
commence now and secure a hall and
make preparation we can have n grand
Reunion. Maj. Charlie Lee, of the Sd Ind,
cannot be beat as a Campfire speaker. The
Hon. S. ]. Gilpin, of Winterset, Iowa,
kept diary all through the war and gave
our regiment the best historical speech
ever heard. Judge Gilchrist, Of Iowa, was
on Gen. Buford's staff, and is good
speaker, and the other regiments, the Sth
and 18th LII. and Sth N. Y, could pick out
their men. Then let us meet and shake
hands through the day and have a Camp
fire at night. Many Of the Illinois boys
live in Chicago, and could look out for the
local arrangements.

the writing and answer all letters. This
brigade was first called "Pleasonton's Fly
ing Column" in the Antietam campaign

Sir William Hamilton says every prop
osition is true, or it is not, one or the
other. 1t is therefore true or it is not
that the comrades of the G. A. r. de-
mand the retirement of Commissioner
Evans. 1t is true OF it is not that he has
disappointed them. 1t is true or it is not
that he has administered the office tech
nically and to our prejudice, or fairly, lib
orally and to our benefit-one or the
other. The thing was compromised and
shunted off at the last Encampment,
much to the disappointment of the boys,
and this time they demand that the issue
be fairly presented, and that the Encamp-
ment declare itself manfully and unequiv-
ocally for or against Evans, and be either

uing or covering up of politicians, as last
year was done, to the disgust of
