PENNSYLVANIA
It seldom if ever that any survivor of the wal
OF the rebellion has been mustered into the GRAND
Army of the Republic under such fiattering aus
pices as has marked Congressman Samuel j. Ran
dall's Introduction into it. To Pennsylvanians, a
least Mr. Randall is revered for his friendliness tC
the needy soldier. His political career is vel
known, and his honesty is unquestioned. Notwith
ering efforts should have been made to muster him
Recognize the fact that he and Commander-nC Chic
Warner are Congressman, and well, if not familiar
| ly, acquainted and that Mr.. Randall finds it inn
possible to leave Washington for the purpose of be
| ing mustered by Post No. /, of Philadelphia, by
| whom he was elected TO membership Neither dc
| i forget that he has been a Congressman fol
nearly score of years, and could have beer
/ mustered into a Post of the Department of tn,
| Potomac without the slightest inconvenience,
/ some time during that period. However, L an
glad to see him in tile Order; but never the less
| do not like the pomp and manner in which he ha
| been made full-hedged member 1t would ap
|
! DESTROYS of having his companionship. How thi
/ will apply to the Post cannot say, but am SUR
| that the Order is not holding cut inducement
for any particular person to join. To the critczin:
| public however, Congressman Randalls entranc
is looked at III the light that the Grand Arm,
would have done anything to get him in. Ofcours
this is nonsenscal, but they think so in Philadel
phia at any rate. A brief sketch of his militar,
record will be interesting. In the first place lie
me say that he was elected member of the Pos
on Feb. IL of the present year. At the outbreak O
! the war he enlisted in the famous City Troop (cay
! airy of Philadelphia, and was elected Sergean
and served three months, and saw all the servic
that the command did in that time in the vicinit,
| of the Cumberland Valley (Pennsylvana) Har
| per's Ferry and Charlestown, Va. In 1862 til
Troop again offered its services to the country, bu
| they declined. A year later in June, the,
were once more mustered into service, and aide
considerably in impeding the movements of tn
enemy near Gettysburg. During this enlistmen
| Mr.. Randall was Captain, and on its arrival a
! Columbia, Pa, he was made Provost Marshal i
which capacity he served until relieved on July 81
1868. His muster into the Order took place on las
| Monday evening at his residence in Washington
By special dispensation Provisional Post, repre-
| senting George G. Meade Post No. l. of Phiiade
pha, was formed, and was differed as follows
