The magnificent sword awarded QuartcrmRstcr-
General John Taylor by The DnfiU Neips. Of PhilA-
delphia, IA the most popular military in Penn
sylvnnia was formally presented to him on last
Thursday night ut the hall of Post No 81 of which
he IL n member, by Mr.. James A. Campbell, City
Editor of that paper. Over thousand comrades
aud friends tried To force their way into the build
lag To witness the presentation. COmrndc William
Eulscy and Adj't-Gen. Mccormick acted mas
tiers of ceremonies After rollicking song by
Tom Kay aud u recitation by Prof w. j. Cnllan, Of
Jersey City, Editor Campbell made the prcsenla-
ton behalf of his paper and IN turn Past de-
partment Commander Il. J. Stewart received the
sword, and after "A long but eloouen, speech Inc
gave IL To Capt. Taylor. Following the prsscuta-
ton the company visited the rooms of the Vesprr
Club, where they were entertained. Among tho
guests were GOnrHne IL. III. Bgnguiigh, ten WIN,
b. kiuscy, Gen. Charles l.. Leiper Louis Wagner.
IT., and Internal Revenue Collector Martin.
The presentation Of the Ne,cs sword To Capt. Tay
lor recalls To memory the dispute TO who alall
be the successor of Gen John F Hartranft as Conn
mander- in. Chief of the National Guard of this
State. When the vacancy occurred, the people nat
urally wondered who would succeed him. Al that
time wrote that Gen. J. L. >. Goblin WAS seriously
considered for the position. although Gen. George
II. SuowdeD, of the First Brigade, tho senior
ranking officer Goblin is Republican and SNOW
den Is II Democrat. and the Republican leaders do
not care 10 see Snuwdcn promoted TO that impor-
tant place This is how the stands present.
But what ] wish to cnil attention to Is The fact
that also stated that SHowdcn was really unpopu-
lar la this city among the Guard=mon. Whiis there
II need To reIierHte this remark. Of the Phil
Rdciphia newspapers universally known ms The
bladder, took To- task in u vigorous manner for
making such statement, which 1t declared was
untrue, and claimed that Gen. Snowdeu
ceedmgiy popular In tho contest for the Nous
sword Capt. Taylor received over 10000 votes
There were about 100 contestants, nil OF whom
polled from dozen TO $1,000 votes. Gen. George
X Snowdcn enc of those contestants. mud he
received less than 100 votes. Enough said.
