REPLIES TO Mr.. SHERMAN.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov 92.-General
r. A. Alger has written a lengthy
letter to the Detroit Tribune in reply
to Senator John Sherman's charges
against the generals friends, as con-
tained in the second volume of "Sher-
mans Recollections
The writer quotes Senator Sher-
mans language, in which sherman, in
referring TO the circumstances attend
ing the contest in the Republican ma
tional convention of 1883, charged
Alger's friends with buying Southern
votes for him.
General Alger says when the Sena-
tors charges were first made, imme-
diately after the convention, he was
especially distressed because OF the
warm friendship existing between him
self and family and General w. i.
sherman and family. In view OF this
he wrote to General Sherman assur-
ing him that there was no foundation
for the charges and that he had not
replied to them on account, first, of
the age of the senator; second, of his
great name, and Third. because of the
injury such talk would do the party.
General sherman in reply wrote: II
assure you that ! entertain for you the
same sentiment OF respect and affec-
tion as always II anything ever
shook my faith in you, 1t was that you
stopped To the level OF a politician. A
soldier of repute, a gentleman, and
one who has snch family and busi-
ness as General Alger, ought tc hold
himself above that level But this is
eminently free country, and you had
as good right TO enter the race as
had John Sherman You made a good
show of votes, and If you bought some,
according to universal usage, surely
don't blame you laughed at John
for trying TO throw of on anybody.

tion and l congratulated him on ms

qulry by saying that my friendship TO
YOU has not been shaken in the least;
that wish You all honor and happi-
ness, and that during my short re-
mainder we may often meet here or ON

General Alger relates instAne OF

the senator of late years ana OF as-
surances given him by sherman that
while his disappointment had been

! had any mart in the scramble for votes,

deadly conflict, but as brothers, under

country. All grateful to God that in
the supreme struggle, the government
of our fathers-our common heritage

Our dedication today is but Il cere-

Lincoln, at Gettysburg:
But in larger sense we cannot ded-

Tennessee. "America," the beautiful
national anthem, was then sung by the
audience, accompanied by the band, and
every one of the fifty and odd thousand
of people assembled, blue and gray
sang it as if inspired. The great volume
of sound rolled up as a great tidal, wave

Palmer Great Effort.
General John Nj. Palmer, the venera
BILE senator from Illinois, who 80 year
ago risked his life ON the battlefield
made the first dedicatory address. Whel
he came forward, his voice was husk,
and had tremulous sound. And neve
in all his life, unless, perhaps, when h
was directing his men at Chickamaug
32 years ago, did he speak so earnestly
He became grandly eloquent as he ad
vanced in his address, and his eloquenc
was fully appreciated and at frequen
intervals he was applauded with vigo

He was greeted with no less applaus

much enthusiasm, feeling and ps

thousands of Federal and Confederat
veterans who heard them now that tn
sectional line between North and Sout

for some convicted blind piggers claim
to have discovered point of law likely
to create a considerable interest among
the legal fraternity of the state. Under
the present statute the second offense is
punishable by fine and Imprisonment
by the Judge without any jury trials.
Attorneys claim that this is unconstitu-
tional, as the act is a nisdemeanor and
subject to jury trial. They also claim
that no other state hasa similar statute;
and no other legislative body except that
of North Dakota ever attempted to
make such law. The matter is en-
bodied in an appeal to the supreme court
and is likely to be decided at the Octo-
ber meeting.
