Dkteolt, . Feb. 12. In answer to
charges against Gen.. Russell A. Alger,
that Had been dishonorable discharged
by. Custer 23 years ago, Gen. Alger says
.".Along in June and July, 1864,' Gen.
Custer requested me several times to
have hie brother Thomas appointed as a
lieutenant in my regiment, as he wished
to have him serve on his staff. . As be
did not belong to mv regiment I de
clined, and--' fn. a "hot. controversation
about it one day he told me I would re
gret it some day. . I said to him I would
rather resign than to have an outside of
ficer promoted in my regiment when I
had deserving men in tile ranks. I never
knew or suspected that there was the
Slightest question about my .being prop
erly sent with large .number xf sick
and wounded, to Annapolis or of Gen;
Ouster's recommendation. If he knew
the fact,, it- was one of the most cruel
outrages ever perpetrated npon --old-
ier.,'f Again he says:- -'.'I was honorably
discharged from the service, and was not
dismissed as stated.'': He says, that in
August, 1864, he was sick and was sent
to a' hospital at Annapolis,' Md. -After
his partial recovery he was detailed to
court-martial duty at Washington, 'but
not. liking it, and being unable to return
to . the .field,, be resigned. - irle. never
heard of the' charges till 1888 during the
Chicago convention. In this connection
he says :. : "i had never heard a word
directly or indirectly up to that date
almost .twenty-four years that there
had been any such recommendation,
which I found afterward, to my surprise,
was true. I never had any more bus
picion that I was not regularly sent to
the hospital than anything improbable
on earth. There was never a more cruel,
unjust act committed by man. I served
three ' years, participated in sixty-six
battles and skirmishes, was promoted to
all the grades from captain to colonel,
and was breveted brigadier-general and
major-general without my application
I never .was absent from my command a
moment, except on account, of" wounds
or sickness. I never received a censure
from my superior :officer in any way
shape or manner during the war. Had
I known of the existence of such a docu
ment during the lives of Gen. Sheridan,
who was always a warm, personal friend,
and Gen. Custer, who always claimed to
be a friend and visited me frequently,
could easy y have had -the record cor
rected ; but when I first heard of it Gen
Sheridan was on-his' death-bed and un
able .to . see any one; and Custer was
dead." W,-"- :.;::'. :.T :- : .
