A MAN OF SENSE.

Admiral Dewey Is a man of good, strong
and sound sense, as has been demonstrated
ever since he became 80 conspicuous in the
eyes Of the civilized world. He has recently
made it known, and in language that will
admit of no doubtful Interpretation, that he
will under no circumstances be candidate
for President of the United States. This en-
phatic declaration has been brought about
by reason OF the editors of certain leading
newspapers who held that he was the right
man and could be induced to accept the
nomination il 1t came in q graceful way In
this connection two or three things should
be noted:
1st. The political machinery Of both the
chief parties has been already adjusted for
next year. The men whom they will nom
mate are apparent men, and strong with
their respective parties. Notwithstanding
the present popular Juror, Admiral Dewey,
we believe, could not have been nominated
End. If nominated by either party it is not
at all certain that he could have been elect
ed. The cases Of Washington, Jackson, and
Grant seem TO prove that a candidate with
the halo Of great victory about him is sure
of election. But Washington was elected
without opposition. Grant was the nom
inee OF a party which at the time would
have elected anybody. 1t is probably true
that Taylor and jackson might not have
succeeded without their record of military
achievement. Against them, however, you
must place the experience OF General Scott,
whose triumphant entry into the Halls Of
the Montezumas was as spectacular as any
thing Dewey has done. But Scott was de-
ieated at the polls by an obscure man from
New Hampshire, who secured the nomina.
tion very largely because he was unknown.
The forces OF politics are not al ways quelled
by the glories of war.
Bird. The presidency would confer no
added honor upon Dewey. Grant was a
greater general than president. In the
former position he stood upon the very
summit of honor, unsurpassed by any sol
der of modern times. In the White House
rupt politicians. He was blind to the faults
OF friends. In spite OF the efforts which
have been made TO give him place beside
Washington and Lincoln as great presi-
dent, the impartial historian has already
recorded the fact that Grant never possessed
the grasp of great statesman, and seldom
rose above the commonplace in state craft.
We do not affirm that Dewey would be as
unfortunate as Grant. But the chances are
that he would succeed no better. Now he
is the idol of the nation. AS president his
days would be crowded with innumerable
annoyances. Disappointed office seekers
would traduce him, Enemies would plot
his downfall.
But Dewey has sense, and be has shown
it. We expect and hope that he will through
life be Admiral of the American Navy and
a jolly old sea dog.
