Attendance of Veterans Not so Large as Kxpe cted. but Their Abnent Places Filled by Civilians Dedication of Camp Wilder by tien. Harrison Today's Great l'arade Starts on Its Twelve-Miles March En camiiment Gossip. Ixkiaxapoms, Sept. 5. Thanks to queen's weather and su cessful carrying out of the admirable arrangements per fected by the local committees, the twenty-seventh national encampment of the Grand Army opened most auspiciously. So far as the number of visitors from out side points is concerned the success of the encampment is already assured. Not all of these, however, are veterans. In fact the boys in bkae are almost lost in the throngs. The hardy, hooppole yeomanry, with their wives and children and other relatives, near and remote, form a large proportion of the arrivals. With a real live national Grand Army encampment within easy reaching distance, to keep away from it would be worse than treason. Not Vp to Expectations. As to the veterans, the urrivals, outside of the state posts, are Dot by any means np to expectations. A good many states send less than half the total that had been scheduled a month ago as certain to be here, while a few are likely to make even a poorer showing. In the encampment proper fully 100 delegates, if not more, will fail to answer to the roll-call. Hard times and the continued stringency of the money maiket, especially in the far western states, is the ascribable cause. But the crowds are here and even if there are a quartette of civilians to every veteran, In dianapolis is just as well contented and happy. Harrison IH-dicateg a Camp. Almost on the very spot in military park where thirty-one years ago the citi zens presented to Colonel Harrison and his newly organized Seventieth regiment of volunteers the standards of Indiana and the United States to carry before them to the war, the ex-president dedicated "Camp Wilder," the name bestowed upon some three hundred tents in which reunions of regiments and -old soldiers' societies will be in full blast for the remainder of the week. About :-.,(KK) people participated in the exercises, which included addresses by W. A. Ketcham, General John T. Wilder (for whom the camp is named), and Gen eral llairisou; patriotic music by the band and the raising of the stars and stripes to the top of a towering pole. The Kx-rresiileut's Speech. Wheu the ex-president was introduced he was greeted with a volley of cueers that was thrice repeated. lie apologized to his fellow citizens for having remained so long at the seashore, while they were wovkiug hard for the success of the en campment; admitted that he felt in some degree "a shirk;" indulged in some inter esting reminiscences regarding tie park and surrounding neighborhood in the days of the war, and eulogized the bravery and devotion to country of the Indiana troops. "No Indiana soldier, "said the ex-president, "need be ashamed to open to tie world in friendly competition with the records of the sister states the story of Indiana's part in the great rebellion. But the beauty of it all was that these regiments from Indi ana and these from Illinois and these from Ohio were all one. All Helonged to Uncle Sam." ''They were not Indiana's soldiers, Ohio's nor Illinois' soldiers, but soldiers of the United States. The cause was one, the glory is one; and, visiting comrades from other states, we are not here to exalt ourselves, but to take your hands as com rades and share with you the glory of the greatest result that was ever achieved by war in human history. If there is any man anywhere who does sot honor the union veteran he does not live in Indian apolis, If there is any man anywhere who suspects him or would detract in the smallest degree from the merits of his service, he is not heie to-day. You will not meet him on our streets. The Lessou of the Kuctmpment, "My comrades, those tents about us are pitched many clays march nearer home than those in which you dwelt here in 1S61. They will stand but for a day and vanish. You go to your own homes, to the bhelter of those roof trees and to the companionship of those families from which you separated yourself in times of war and to which you returned with an increased love and consecration. You will go back to pick up the duties of your citizenship with a higher sense of these duties, of the glory and sweetness of this llag, than you had before you came here to miugle with these comrades, to listen to these stirring songs, and to stir each other by the remembrances of those bloody days." MARCHED TO THE UNION'S MUSIC. ' The Great l'arade Kvent of the Meeting Uriefly Described. With a reception at Tomlinson hail to the officers and delegates to the encamp ment, given by the citizens of Indianap olis, the first day closed. Music was fur nished by the largest orchestra ever or ganized in this city, under the direction of W. A. Zuniple. TheJ hall was crowded with representative men of the city and delegates to the encampment and it was an enjoyable and brilliant "function," But the rank and file of the vets were waiting for today,when they would get a reception from the crowds of people now at the state capital that would make the grizzled old vets feel young again. It was a busy morning that the sun ush ered in this morning was. By 7 o'clock the hurry of preparations was observed, and by 8 there were bodies of boys in blue moving from all directions to their ren dezvous. With steady tramp the marches were kept up until 11a.m., by which time everything was in readiness and the signal was given to march. With steady swing the veterans wheeled into their positions with precision that showed that the military lessons of '61-65 had not : forgotten. Chief Marshal Carnahao headed the line, a platoon ot pofic-e going lnirontoi mm to Keep the way clear. With the chief marshal was a staff num bering about seventy-five. The staff formed line at 10 o'clock in North Merid ian street, the left resting on Seventh street extending south, to receive the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief and staff formed on North Deleware 6treet, right resting at Seveath street, and at 10:3( moved to Meridian, then south to ihr right of the chief marshal and formed in line on the right. Then the chief marshal and staff, representing the city of Indiana polis as the escort, took the advance, pro ceedediug ever the line of march. When he reached the destination, he returned with a part of his staff to the headquarters. Seventh and Meridian, and directed the movements of the column. While the veterans had been gathering the people had not been idle. The citizens of Indianapolis seemed to be all there, while the tens of thousands of visitors not members of the G. A. K. helped to pack the sidewalks and roadway as far out as permitted, the balconies and windows, the porches aud steps, the roofs, and even the trees were full about to the danger point of young men and boys. A great cheer at the point of departure announced that the parade had begun, and it was taken up as the head of the column appeared, advan cing along the line until the whole body of spectators was cheering. ' "Tramp, tramp, tramp," the boys were marching, and many in the throng re membered with swelling hearts how many of the boys had, in the times that tried men's souls in '01, marched through the streets of this city en route to battle for the union. There was no "shirking" among those who had commanded ia 1801; only those too old entirely to march took carriages. General Lew Wallace was ob served tramping along with his post, and as he and others were seen the crowd cheered again. Among the prominent veterans who were in the line of march accompany ing their departments were David S. Stan ley, on the retired list of U. S. A.; Senator Manderson, of Nebraska; General Louis Wagner, of Philndalphia; General George Merrill, of Boston; Major-General J. J. Reynolds and Colonel B. D. Wheeler, U. S. A.; and General Wilder, of Tennessee. The line of march is twelve miles long and it will be well on in the afternoon be fore the parade will be over. There is music galore. About 100 bands, large and small, drum corps and full military bands, are in line, and at this writing the procession is w ending its way in platoons along the route laid down for it, while Indianapolis is one mighty cheer. The city never saw such a turnout of residents aud visitors. Everywhere the breeze flutters the colors of the ensign and plays with the festoon and canopy of red, white and blue. How many are in line it is im possible to say now. It may be that there are fewer than was expected, but it is a big thing anyhow. GOSSIP OF THE ENCAMPMENT. Plenty or Candidates for the Chief Com mand Farnham Post. Now that a gcKjdly proportion of the men who make and unmake the rulers of the organization are on the ground the woods are full of available candidates for the office of commander-in-chief. The list comprises General S. H. Hurst, Ohio; Cap tain J. G. B. Adams, Massachusetts; Gen eral E. Burd Grubb, New Jersey; Edgar Allen, Virginia; Charles P. Lincoln.Wash innton; James A. Sexton, Chicago; Editor I. F. Mack, Sandusky, O., and Charles M. Travis, Indiana. Hurst, who appeared yesterday to be leading, has encountered opposition from his own state. Adams and Lincoln are prime favorites, while the support of the others is confined to their own states. Adams' friends are sanguine of his success. Pittsburg and Philadel phia have entered the lists against Lin coln, Neb., for the honor of having the next encampment. It is probable that the encampment will endorse the action of Commander Weissert in suspending Farnham post, of New York, for its action in adopting and circulating resolutions approving the pension policy of the present national administration. The question will be referred to in the commander's report, and a resolution of approval has already been drafted by a Philsdelphia delegate. Report has it that representatives of the suspended post are in the city for the purpose of protesting against the summary treatment it has ex perienced, but efforts to locate them were not successful: The New York delegates say that the effort would be useless. At the session of the conventioa of naval veterans Admiral Osborn announced that he had received a letter from ex-Paymaster Fortier, of Buffalo, who has been re moved from office on account of a short ags in his accounts, in which he expressed his ablity of proving up a clean record by explaining where the money had gone. There was a sharp contest for the position of rear admiral commanding, and Osborn, the present incumbent, was finally chosen by a vote of 33 to 27 over Francis B. Al len, of Hartford, Conn., the present com modore. At the reception to the G. A. R. dele gates and officers last evening General Harrison delivered an approp:iate address of welcome and Commander vVeissert re sponded. There was a dancing programme of twelve numbers to wind up the festivi ties. During the evening General Harri son attended a reunion of comrades of the Army of the Cumberland. The Ohio dele gates, at a meeting held at the Bates House shortly after their arrival, adopted resolutions declaring that those opposing the candidacy of Major Hurst were not authorized to speak for the delegation and represented nobody but themselves, and pledging united support to the comrade. Ten thousand people packed Monument place and the adjacent blocks last night to witness the inaugural electrical illumi nation of the soldiers' monument. Sixty five hundred incandescent lights, border ing the base nud tower of the shaft, circle ing the approaches and arranged in flag aud other devices on the four sides, com bined to produce an effect almost eclipsing the gorgeous illumination of the adminis tration building at the World's fair. the Lucanla Is Fast.
