Washingtonspecial | Th^re is a report to^^night that Harrison and Noble are urging^Gen. Russel A. Alger, of Michigan, to^come out for commander-in-chief of the^rand Army, in opposition to Tanner.^The cabinet ministers are afraid that if^Tanner should be made chieftain of the^Grand Army there would be no standing^htm. There is no great amount of love^entertained for Alger in administration^circles, as he is looked upon as a danger^^ous man in 1 J. but the feeling that the^Tanner nuisance should be abated dwarfs^everything else at present The pension^sharks at Washington are not anxious for^Tanner for the chieftaincy because of his^notorious favoritism of Lemon and Dudley^n making cases special. But Dudley and^Lemon have more influence than all the^other sharks put together, and they^are for Tanner every time. Lemon^was in Europe when last beard^from, but ha will be h'ime in time to^participate in the proceedings at Milwau^^kee. Lemon is the editor of the National^Tribune, the pension orgau of the G. A. K.^Dudley was present at the Pennsylvania^republican convention and for three days^preceding it was at Philadelphia. It is^pretty generally underst* ^d that Dudley^secured the insertion of trie Tanner plank^in the Pennsylvania platform. The Tan^^ner people are already demuueing Alger^as a money bag and a brigadier. They^say that the time has come when an enlist^^ed man should be made commander-in-^chief of the O. A. K. Tbe corporal's ma^^chine is in good working order.
