ALGER WAS ALL RIGHT. ‘There is a strongsentiment prevailing . outside of the Democratic . yanks that Gen. Alger filled the arduous . yet of secretary of war most ad_qnirably. The immonse amount of “Gabor thrust npon the head of the war department when the Spanish-American war broke out was simply tremendons, and that be did so well is more than thousa:ds of men: could have done under the surrounding cirgumstances. In reference to the mag‘Bificent reception given to General Alger, the Inter Ocean only reflects our own views when it says: “The ‘eelf-poise of General Alger in the re“ception tendered: him by men: ofall parties on his return to Detroit was admirable. Even the most captious of , General Alger’s critics will admit that. ‘ander as strong temptation as ever beset a public man he yexhibited the finest sense of propriety. Governor Pingree, in his speech of welcome, enlarged upon the point that General Alger re‘tarned to Michigan a man with a grievance; with such a grievance that amends could be made only by an uprising of the people. But, with Governor Pingree holding open the door, with the strongest temptation to enter “japon self-defense and recrimination, General Alger, after a general reference to'the achievements of the war and his record as secretary of war, said: ‘And now, my fellow citizens, I come home without a grievance. During that . struggle, and while that great work was" upon me,I can truthfully say that I had from the President all the support that ‘he could give. We went through that struggle and came out ~ victorious. We transported across the seas more than 160,000 men, one way and the other, without an accident., We fought battles in the Philip: pines, in Cuba, and in Puerto Rico, and we never lost a battle, a stand of colors, a prisoner or a gun. Wherever the American flag was planted by the American soldier there it stands, and there it shall stand forever.’ This was. magnificent. This was a proclamation to all Republicans that the late secretary of war is, as he always has been, a stalwart Republican, and still as he was atthe beginning of the war,.a strong advocate of what came to be known as the McKinley policy of expansion. ‘This was a notice also to! Governor Pingree and his circle of anti-expansionists that Geyeral Alger was abandoning not one tittle of his annexation «program, and that he was not lowering the flag of stalwart Republicanism through any personal disappointment or grievance. No more comprehensive condensation of war history has been made by apy writer or speaker than that made by General Alger at Detroit. Republicans everywhere will rejoice over the warmth of the welcome extended to the late secretary of war on his return to his old home, but they will exult’ more over what he said on that occasion. It is terrible to think of what may be fall the man who lies to an editor. Last week a delinquent subscriber said he would square up on Saturday, which . was pay-day, if he lived. He’s dead.!
