ELECTION Activity Among Comrades Over Choice of Department Commander. | THREE CONTESTANTS FOR THE HONOR for the | Rivalry Between Two in Burnside Post, No. 8 PLEDGE OF THE DELEGATES ———— The contest over the .election of com- mander of Potomac Department, G. A. R. it is understood, has assumed a most in- teresting phase. The choice wiil not be made until February, but the campaign is ready quite a vigorous one, with three known candidates in the field—Dr. A. J. Huntoon, Dr. J. F. Raub and Mr. Arthur Herdrix, -present assistant adjutant gen- eral of the department. The first and the last named are members of the same post— Burnside—and upon this fact, it is said, hinges the present interest, When it became definitely known that Mr. Hendrix was a candidate for the place there was considerable stir in Burnside Post. Dr. Huntoon was defeated last year, it was said, largely through the opposi- tion to him of Mr. Hendrix, and it was at once insisted by the former’s friends that he should be again put forward for the honor, and this was finally the re- sult. The race between them has been from the beginning, so far as known, a good natured rivairy, with just enough of party rit to lend zest to the proceed- ings. ere was no small ameunt of wire pulling in the several posts to secure the faver of delegates, the elections so far as made having been engineered by the friends of the several aspirants, with losses and gains in proportion to the amount of ac- Uvity displayed. Several weeks ago the proposition was made, it is said, by the friends of Mr. Hen- that a vote should be taken in Burn- side Post to determine which of the two comrades should have the support of the organization in the coming department en- czmpment. This challenge was at once ac- cepted by Dr. Huntoon’s friends, and at a late meeting the vote was taken, with th understanding, it is understood, that th vete of Burnside Post should determine which of the candidates should retire. It Was a secrcta ballot as between Messrs. Huntoon and Hendrix direct, not upon the selection of delegates, and the result was in fevor of the former by a vote of 2 to 1. The choice of delegates followed, with Hun- tcon and Hendrix candidates in the field, and resulted in a victory for Huntoon by a vete of about 3 to 1, Not satisfied with this victory, which, on the face of affairs. seemed to be complete, Dr. Huntoon’ friends proceeded to elect alternate del gates, pledged to support him in the en- campment, in case any of them should be admitted in lieu of regular delegates, Meanwhile the Hencrix forces active in other posts, and had number of delegates. It is unde d bee cured a nd the st colored vote had n pledge to al- most unanimously, and he had a_consid- erable support throughaut the District besides having the indorsement of Co: mander Hevkins. They accordingly be Neved they could make so good a show on the first ballot in the encampment that they covld ultimately pull through without the aid of Burnside Post, and that upen this showing Burnside’s delegate would be won over. Mr. Hendrix w therefore continued in the racé friends are still actively at work in behalf. 's said that Dr. Huntoon’s friend re- sent this action upon the part of the oppo- their understanling, they the vote of Burnside Post the question for or against ate, and, had the decision ¢ Mr. Hendrix, Dr. Huntoon been immediately withdrawn. Huntoon advocates claim that in on to having the solid support of the post, they have more votes by a considerable majority than will be cast for either of the other two on the first ballot, in order to demonstrate their solidity. and to set at rest the question as to their intention to vote for Mr. Hendrix or any ether candidate than Huntoon, the repre- sentatives elected by Burnside Post, as well as the alternates and others having votes, have signed a document of which the following is a copy: “We, the undersigned, commander, rep- resentatives and alternates of Burnside Pest, No. 8, having been instructed by mere than a two-thirds vote of our post to use all honorable means to secure the election of Dr. A. J. Hunteon for comman- der of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., for the ensuing year, hereby pledge curselves to stand by our instructions and to vote as a_unit for all candidates for de- partment offices in the ensuing national encampment. And we further pledge that at no time during said election, or under any circumstances, will we vote for any other member of Burnside Post for any de- partment office.” This paper is signed by George P. Davis, D. A. Grosvenor, George C. Ross, Henry H. Moler, Joseph E. Hart, Thomas M. Vin- cent, John B. Gilfillen, Thomas H. Sypherd, the ' representatives;| George T. Carter, Chris. Storm, Charles E. Persons, S. W. Tallmadge, A. M. Salmon, N. D. Adams, L. J. Bryant and A. B. Jameson, alter- nates, and by W. S. Odell, past department commander. The commander of the post did not sign, but is equally pledged with the others, and the signature of one alter- nate, also pledged, was omitted because of his absence from the city. Dr. Huntoon, who is a delegate, did not sign for obvious reason. The meetirg at which this action was taken was held Saturday evening. Meanwhile Dr. Raub’s friends are making a quict canvass. They say but little, but it is understood they hone to gain from both the other candidates when voting time comes. So far as known, there is no cause for friction between them and the Hendrix men, and it is stated with certainty that there is the best of feeling between the Raub and the Huntoon forces. It is noted as an unusual precaution that nu figures are given out by any of the leaders, but the Huntoon faction expresses the utmost confidence in the outcome. There is a rumor current that in a certain event Commander Hopkins will be a can- didate for re-election, but this is believed by many to have but little foundation. ———.__. Lamps That Burn. It does not take “money to burn” in order to buy “lamps to burn,” if one visits the mammoth establishment of S. 3S. Shedd & Bro., 452 9th street. This firm has on exhibi- tion one of the largest and handsomest dis- plays of lamps In the city. There are large lamps and small lamps, tall lamps and short lemps, cheap lamps and high-priced lamps, in fact, lamps that will suit the purses of any of the Christmas shoppers. And the globes must be seen to be appreciated. ‘There are some of the richest in design ever shown, and the prices range from terty-three cents all the way up to nine dollars. “We have the biggest values in globes that we ever had. aid Mr. S.
