apparent each day REPRESENTATIVE Lou
densIager Of New Jersey, who was at
Headquarters today said
i am very much interested in seeing
the coming eHcamrment OF the Grand
ArnIy made a grand success
I have always been a friend Of the
soldier and OF the army Ny work IN

on Pensions has brought me into very
close touch with the rank and file Of those
who fought in the civil war very large

and become identified with business in

large number Of them have become
wealthy They take a deep interest in
the National Capital and all that per-

enthusiastic in their desire TO see the
Capital of this country made the most
beautiful city on the globe, and are in
favor Of any appropriations for this pur-
pose

treatment of the city of Washington, and
really think that some Of my sentiment
regarding this has been borrowed from

campment viii be Of very great benefit
These men will grow to love the Federal
city, and their attachment viii deepen
as years 90 on and their lives become
heightened. You may rest assured that
so far as I can serve your committee it
viii give me great pleasure. I shall not
confne my efforts either 10 the express
sion Of sentiment, but will do active
