OF the Republic which was formally
opened last night by the monster meet
ing in the Coliseum, was in full blast
eooay ana In all respects 1t promises to
be the greatest ana most successful en-,
calnpment the army has ever held. All
last night and all of today train after
train loaded down with veterans and
their friends rolled into the various
depots in the city and by evening If was
estimated by railroad officials that fuIlv
45,O09 old soldiers had arrived and thar
3OOOO0 other eXcursionists had come with
therh. 1t is said that there will be 20 O.jG
additional arrivals by tomorrow mo. ming
The veterans have come from all narts
OF the republic and every northern state

The first day of the encampment was
che Of ideal beauty in marked contrast to
the hot and humid weather that mas pre-.
ceded 1t since the first of August. There
was in the early portion of the day q
fresh breeze off Lake Michigan, temper
ing the heat of the sun which shone

marching a burden for the old veterans
who claimed the day as theirs. The right
of the line on the opening day was given
te'the men WIN sailed the seas during the
Civil war; the cheering today was all for
then. and all the honors were theirs The
army will come to its own tomorrow.
The heroes Of river and sea of the Civ
IL war are small band now. OF the
$4,000 men enlisted in the navy in the
early days Of the war, less than 100
marched today, and 1t was agreed by
the old sailors that their number was
greater in the march today than it will
ever be in any parade to come
But one battle flag was carried by the
naval veterans 1t was one that futter-
ed from the monitor Winnebago when
Farragut sailed into Mobile bay to gain
his crowning victory. 1t was borne by
