rnH NATIONAL GUARD.
A Dispute Over tho Election for Major
of the First Regiment.

OF the First Regiment.
Contrary TO expectation the board of
officers of the First Regiment, N. G. D.,
which met in Dover Tuesday after
noon, did not elect l. Pusey Wicker
sham of this city major Instead it
chose Frederick q. Wiswoll of Milford.
Captains Matlack and Stevenson and
Lieutenants Chaytor, Nieman and
Hogue, who represented New Castle
county, favored the election of Mr.
Wickersham and would have elected
him if voting by proxy had been per-
mitted. II has teen the custom to allow
officers who cannot be present to vote
by proxy, but this custom was ignored
Tuesday and in consequence the wishes
of New Castle county were defeated.
Immediately after the board had con-
yened 1t was decided to moi. permit yot-
ing by proxy, which decision caused the
New Castle county delegation to pro-
test and most of it TO refuse to partici-
pate in the election. Only eight votes
were cast and Capt. Wiswell received
five of them.
The election will be contested on the
ground that some of the men who par
ticipated therein were not in full uni
form. Adjutant. General Hart will prob
ably refer the matter to Judge Advocate
General Melee.
Mr.. Wlswell has been connected with
the National Guard for 10 years. He
was made second lieutenant of Co. B
March 4th, 1880, became first lieutenant
October 3D., 1881, and was commissioned
as captain January 23d, 1881.
MIR. Wickersham, who is a former
captain OF Co. @, was preferred by the
New Castle county representatives be-
cause he was one of the best soldiers in
generally is Wilmingtonian.
