Show Theue is now not tho least doubt that General Alger, of Michigan, will come before the next national republican republi-can convention as n candidate for the presidential nomination. This announcement, an-nouncement, coming from James F. Joy, a railroad magnate of Detroit, tho man who presented the namo of Blaine to the national convention in 1880, may be taken as ollicial as he is an intimate friend of Alger. It is conceded that General Alger . will come before the convention with a strong following, lie is commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of tho Republic, and will have a strong pull on tho soldier clement. Another thing in his favor is that ho possesses a very largo "bar'l," which is a very handy thing to have in polities. |
