Alger and Sherman in Battle Array in Senate Fight
A clash of factions surfaces in the Senate this week over two tests of strength. The Canaday sergeant-at-arms nomination faces opposition from Union veterans while Senator Stockbridge and General Alger engage in a broader contest. A separate bid for John Bb. Eaves as collector of internal revenue for the western North Carolina district pits Alger-backed supporters against Sherman loyalists. If Eaves falls, Sherman’s foes hope to tilt the 1892 Republican delegation.
