WHITNEY ms GONE TO SEE DEWEY.
q. II. p. Belmont SAYS the Admiral VIII BE
Asked to Run for President.


CHICAGO July 1o.-There is talk here of try
ing to place the name of George Dewey at the
head OF the Democratic national ticket in the
next campaign. Dewey is declared to be the
hope Of the Democrats of the Fast. who for
feited their leadership by opposing the silver
issue. In Dewey they behold popular
idol. who could dim the laurels Of the
Boy Orator. and stampede Democracy to his
support. They think the nomination of Dewey
would mean the permanent shelving of Bryan.
the shifting Of the party leadership from tho
West back to the East and the subordtnaaon
Of 10 10 l to more potent ISSUES.
o. Il p. Belmont OF New York is authority
fortks statement that Eastern Democrats are
trying to induce Dewey to becoms a candidate
for the Presidency. He says they have sent
William C.. Whitney to Europe. ostensibly to
invite Dewey to q dinner in New York. but in
reality to invite him TO become the standard
bearer OF reunited Democracy.
Mr.. Belmont is stopping at the Auditorium
Annex. He says he came here merely to see a
few friends. In reality. he is here to feel the
pulse OF assemb cd Democrats and draw con-
illusions for the coming camraign.
1T is true that the trip OF William C. Whitney
to Europe to see Admiral Dewey is made with
the view OF asking the Admiral to become the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
said Mr.. Belmon this evening. However. |
do not think Mr.. Whitney will succeed in his
mission. do not believe that Dewey would con-
sent to become candidate. and doubt IL the
Democratic party could be stampeded to him.
Bryan ist the natural leader Of the Democratic
Democrats will support him on either the old or
a now platform. 1t will need more than the sup
port OF the regular Democrats to elect him.
however.
''Tammany will support the nominee OF
1900 and there is a chance to carry New York
