Campfires Held.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aus. o-The
first day Of the Forty-third National en-
campment Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public found 10000 veterans and visitors
quartered in this city. with the prospec.
of having their number increased to 1000
by Wednesday. Drum and fife corps pa
raded the streets and at rne various head
quarters bands sounded martial music.
OF the fourteen past c~ommanders-in-
chief nov living. five are in attendance.
These are Gen. s. s. Burdett Of wash
ington. D. c.; Eli Torrance Of Minneapo-
Ifs. Mimi; John K. King OF Baltimore;
Corporal James Tanner of Washington. d.
c.; and Gen. Charles G.. Burton of Ne

A reception in honor Of Commanders
AChief Nevius and staff was given by the

thousand guests were present.
Campfires are Held.

Chiefs Charles G. Burton and Eli Torrance,
Mrs. Mary f. Gilman, national president
Of the Woman's Relief corps. and Genieve
Longfieid Lane, national president OF the
Ladies Of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie.
The political eide of the -encampment was
made prominent through the opening of
headquarters of the rival claimants for
honors. The fight between st. Louis and
| Atlantic City for the encampment of 1910
is to be warmly contested. Denver is urg-
ing its advantages for the 1910 encampment.
The result probably rests with the dele
gates from New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
For commander-in-chief Governor Van
SAINT Of Minnesota and w. H. Ketcham of
Indiana continue to be the active candi-
dates. Friends Of L. T. Dickerson of Illi-
nois urged him to seek the honor, but h
declined. In consequence a sentiment in
his behalf for 1911 is being developed.
