The strongest bidders for the next
encampment. from present appear
ances, will be East st. Louis and
Springfield. The former has never
been hOnored with the meeting and
has a number of advantages to offer.
The delegation from that city arrived
early and has been very busy. Spring
field has, of course. been favored with
several previous encampments and
the delegates from there rely upon
their numbers and the attractions of
the state capital to help them out.
Bloomington has been mentioned as
a possible aspiraHt for the encamp-
ment. but the fact that that place has
not entirely recovered from the eff
fects of last years disastrous fire has
cut down its capacity to furnish en-
tertainment and it is. not looked upon
as a formidable rival by either of the
other cities bidding for the honor.
