Show The gallant Miles will probably bo Major General Crook's succossor, he being be-ing tho ranking brigadier. Of course there will bo a small army of candidates, " among whom are already montioned Colonels Whoaton, Morrow, MeCook and Griersou. Seniority is not taken into " consideration above the rank of colonel, and this rule will make it a rort of free for ull race. General Miles ia not a WoBt Point graduate, but he is a graduate gradu-ate from the volunteer army in tho war of the rebellion, and for his gallant services ser-vices in the battle of Chiincellorsviilo he was brevotted n brigadier and a major- , general. Of courso the objection may be raised against him that he did not come i from West Point, but this will probably havo no weight. |
