Invitation Accepted.

The official acceptance by the Grand
Army of the Republic of the invitation
extended to them by the District Com
missioners to hold the 36th National En-
campment in this city in October has
been received by Commissioner Henry Il.
F. MacFarland, the President of the
Board
Commander-in-Chief Torrance, in ac-
cepting the hospitality extended, said:
Il have the honor to acknowledge receipt
of your very cordial invitation, extended
in behalf of. the Board of Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, to the Grand
Army of the Republic to hold its Both
National Encampment in Washington,
October next. This invitation is accepted
i'm the snirit in which it is extended and
with grateful appreciation of the gracious
welcome and generous hospitality that
awaits the homecoming of the Union SOL
dier TO the Nations Capital.
Washington is without a rival in the
yeneration and affection of the surviving
veterans of the Grand Army of the Re
public. As you truly say. they have a
deeper interest in it than other citizens,
because they offered their lives for its de-
fense and because their valor was victo-
rious and their devotion cOnsecrated it.
1T is the one great city in this great
Republic with which the sorrow and
glories of the Nations defenders are in
separately linked, and no soldier of the
Union can walk its streets or look upon
the stately dome of its Capitol without
recalling the deeds and scenes, the sac
rifices and triumphs of an epoch that
was supremely heroic.
'In response to your invitation we shall
come from the uftermost parts of the
continent. We will leave our homes singly
and in little companies. but when we
reach yOur city we shall have become
mighty host of marching men-an army
bearing banners of peace, without weap-
ons or instruments of war, for concord
now dwells in all our borders and peace
reigns
Der thousand fields of waving grain,
In the quiet dales and whirring marts,
In all our homes and all our hearts,"
