launched upon his mission in inner Africa
When he started he and his Government gave
1t out that he had gone inland in tbs hope Of

the depths OF Africa come tidings that he will
try to establish chain Of military posts to

There was little doubt that this was his pur.
pose. though in these days OF scrambling for
Africa agents like De BRAzzA and STANLEY

What Is this about Gen. RUSSELL A.
AboER Of Michigan as Republican candi-
date for President on o platform OF Patriot
Ism and Pensions
The various biographies OF Gen. ALaER
dwell more In detail upon the beginning OF
his military services than on the end.
He was Major In tho Second Michigan
Cavalry. Gen. SHER1DAN's old regiment.
On Oct. 10. 1862. he was promoted to be
Lieutenant-C Colonel Of the Sixth Michigan
Cavalry. Subsequently he was transferred
TO the Fifth Michigan Cavalry and became
its Colonel.
In September. 1854. Col. ALaER and his
regiment were In the Shenandoah Valley
taking part In SHERIDAN's great campaign
against JUDAL EARLY.
About the first Of that month Col. ALaER
applied for ten days leave OF absence. The
application was disapproved and returned
by his division commander. Gen. WESLEY
MERRITT. because OF the active operations
then In progress. Upon the return Of his
application for leave disapproved. Col.
ALoER left his regiment and went to WASH
ington without leave. There he procured q
detail on court martial duty in that city.
This fact was reported to Gen. MERRITT.
who reported 1t in turn to Gen. SHERIDAN.
who brought the matter to the attention
of the War Department. recommending
that Col. ALGER be dishonorably dis
charged from tho service for being absent
without leave.
In consequence of that accommodation
from PHILIP H. SHERIDAN. Col. RUSSELL A.
ALaER was discharged from the service on
Sept. 20. 1854.
The record does not read that he was
dshonorably discharged" The punish
ment recommended by Gen. SHERIDAN was
softened. and he was merely discharged.
The incident terminated his military career
After the war was over he procured In some
way the brevet Of Brigadier-Ge and
Major-General Of Volunteers.
