According to we'll Informed writer in
the New York Tribune, the wife of Gener-
al r. A. Alger, of Michigan who has bees
in New York recently with her husband,
is much averse to his political ambition.
She il a home woman. gentle and refiBed.
with group of boys and girls growing
mp around her in whose welfare she takes
her great delight. She has a positive
horror Of politics which she does not hesi-
tate 20 express emphatically, but with the
gentlencss Of gentlewoman. on every
proper occasion. One of her objections to
politics Is the invasion Of home by the
press that accompanies candidacy for pub
lie office. She slIrinks from the notoriety,
publicity and gossip about home life that
follow the nomination of citizen TO any
hig1 office. Yet she is loyalty anxious for
her husband. success in any undertaking,
either ia politics or business. and with her
gentle and winning ways IA no small
factor in his popularity. Mrs. Alger is
rather petite 10 figure, so young looking
that it ia difficult to imagine her the
mother of three boys and three girls, one
of the latter a woman grown and married.
She il warm friend of Mrs. General
Logan, although in personality they are
in strong contrast. Mrs. Logan was as
ambitious A. her husband, or even more
20. II General Alger should become the
Occupant OF the White House, Mrs. Alger
would aid to the fame Of the women who
have presided there.
As We have pointed out before, the facts
which Hon. William ID. Foulke of Indiana.
has brought out clearly TO the public,
ought to have weight with all sincere men.
Mr.. Fouikc j. himself an Independent.
His statement of the shameless way In
/ taeitly encouraged. violations of the civil
/ service rules in Indiana relates to matters
which came under his personal observa-
| zion. His account Of the incapable, litter
ate and actually corrupt and criminal mel
who have been placed In Office in Indiana
under this administration Is shocking
one. The only wav in which the Presi
dents defenders eau meet the statement
| Is to deny it's truth. If this account il
| true-and not a line of all Mr.. Foulke has
said has ever been Experimentation th'
| President i deserving of the utter con
/ tempt Of every honest reformer. Their,
/ can be no excuse for Mr.. Cleveland OF
/ palliation for his part in the spoilscraf
which curses Indiana. If our MugwumI
friends cannot show that Mr.. Foulke's
charges az inst the President are base
less, they put themselves in the position
of enemies to reform by supporting him
But from the men of this stamp who hav'
not already discarded Clevelandism in dis
gust, the country has little to hope.
