Some Remarks Therein Stir Up General Alger. .THE C0N7EUTI0K OF 1888 AGIST. ."ee0" by Buckeye Senator oi the Michigan Soldier Warmly Bepndl- ated Tho General for Sherman After Harrison Other Statements la the Book Harrison's Nomination tho Result of a Bargain, Sherman Soys. Detroit, Xov. 11 The attention of General R. A. Alger was called, lost night tn lha (ur..K n I. t i & 1 1 tho proof-sheets of which have been sent to various newspapers throughout the country. General Alger said: 'T am very much surprised that Senator Sherman. laboring under the disappointment of not r ceiving the nomination, should connect my name with it. If he knows anything about the matter he knows that his charges against mo were without founda tion. There never was a time when his combined vote and mine would have nom inated him in tho convention of 1883. My request to my friends was that in cose my nomination was net possible they should cast their votes for General Harri son, believing as I did that a soldier should be nominated. To What Gen. Alger Expects. "Second to him I asked them to support Senator Sherman. If any money was used, which I do not believe, to purchase votes from the south It was against my positive instructions, and no bill of tho kind has ever been presented to or paid by me. I nevor could understand why Senator Sher man should try to blight t he name of a man who has never by any act injured him or any other man" The quotations to whifti General Alger excepts are thoso in which Senator Sherman in referring to the contest for tho presidential nomina tion of 1833 writes: 'I believe, nnd had as I thought conclusive proof, that the friends of General Alger substantially purchased the votes of many of the dele gates from the southern states who had been Instructed by their conventions to vote for me." Kefers to Blaine and Conkling. Sherman says he has no reason to be lieve that General Harrison resorted in tho slightest degree to any improper or corrupt combination to secure his nomination, and adds that the only feeling of resentment that lie himself entertained was "in regard to tho action of the friends of General Alger in tempting with money poor negroes to violate the instructions of their constituents." Senator Sherman in this volume dwells upon tho history of his part in the Hayes cabinet, and gives a pretty complete history of tho famous con troversy between Blaiue and Conkling, which was a momentous event in the po litical history of the next, few yenrs. Credits Defeat to New York, ' In speaking of the contest for the nom ination of 1S88 Sherman says: '-On Mon- day, June sa, 1 did not anticipate a chango of tho first ballot from the last one on Saturday. I did expect from my di: patches that the nomination would be made that day, aui in my favor, but as the result proved an arrangement had been made on Saturday that practically secured the nomination of General Harri son. From the best information I could gather from many persons with whom I conversed I have no hesitation in express ing the opinion that I was defeated for the nomination by Xcw York. Saya a Corrupt Deal Was Made. "I believed then, as I believe now, that one of the delegates from the state of Xew York practically controlled the wholo del gation, and that a corrupt bargain was mado on Sunday which transferred the great body of the vote of Xcw York to General Harrison and thus led to his nom ination. It is to the credit of General Harrison to say that if the reputed bar gain was made it was made without bis consent at tho time, nor did he carry it into execution. POWERS TO GET TOGETHER.
