that Mr.. Cleveland was on the other side
of that question. But the field was open.
Neither Mr.. Hill, Mr.. German, Mr.. 'Brice.
nor mister anybody csc had succeeded in
making much Roadway with his candidacy,
and the opportunity for a bold operator
with the knack of persuasion was inviting.
M. Whitney appeared at the national
convention In this role. His own name had
been mentioned in connection with the NOM
nation. but he pleasantly put that aside,
and earnestly advised the nomination Of
Mr.. Cleveland Come" said he, in effect,
''let us drop all differences both as to men
and measures. and go in and win this cleo
ton. There are good men all around us.
There are honest differences of opinion
about this thing and that. But what we
want to do Is to win, and 1 can point out
the right man for leader. He is platform
in himself and if we put him up the demo-
cratic party viii return to power again. 1
mean Mr.. Cleveland. He Is the only man
with whom the party has won since 1856.
and his prestige has not been impaired by
the defeat of four years ago. Let us get
back into power and it will then be time
to compromise all differences as to poll
cies."
These observations were reinforced by
Mr.. Whitney's most agreeable manners,
and they soon began to tell on the dele
gates. The west held out. but the south
first wavered and then trooped into the
Cleveland camp. The east was then cap
tured, and the nomination followed. The
result at the polls was as Mr.. Whitney
promised, but there are many democrats
today who regard that victory as the most
disastrous ever achieved by any party, and
they hold Mr.. Whitney responsible for it.

Dewey at Warrington.
rom the Chicago Inter Ocean.


Dewey at Washington means something
more wefghty and practical than another
testimonial to his Incompatible popularity.
No other living man is well qualified to
advise the government on the further solu-
ton of the Philippine problem. No one else
has had So good an opportunity to study
the subject at close range and under condi-
tons most favorable to a right understand
ing OF it. For month after month he held
those islands in the hollow of his hand, and
every body was satisfied. Even the Span
ish authorities at Manila could not name
him but to pra Sc. The President and the
Secretary of War must be eager for his
counsels He has wisely refrained from
public discussion of the great subject, but
when he comes to talk matters over with
those who have right to know just what
he thinks and would advise he may be eX-
pected to be perfectly frank and explicit.
The coming of Dewey to the national
capital could not have been better timed
The rainy season in the Philippines is near
ly over, and as soon as the wea ther admits
of campaigning to the best advantage there
must BE- a general and vigorous movement
all along the line. Every preparation should
be made for bringing the war to a speedy
conclusion. In perfecting plans for bring
ing about peace the knowledge and wisdom
of Admiral Dewey will be of the greatest
conceivable benefit to the government.

Another Hero.

My Uncle Jim was present
He was proud and undismayed,
An the people f1ocked to see EN-
Him an Dewey on parade.
l never will forgit it!
He was naughty as a joss,
When we saw him from the sidewalk;
Uncle Jim upon a boss.
He was noble an commandin',
AS he started down the street,
But the music, when it sounded,
Seemed to strike the critters feet.
Fust he'd waltz and then he'd polka,
An his head an tail he'd toss,
Till the crowds all stopped to notice
Uncle Jim upon a boss.
There are other men Of courage
Than the heroes who must be
Where the great ship reels an pitches
Mid the Derils of the sea.
Don't forgit to save a medal
Fur this man who risked the loss
OF his life an reputation
Uncle Jim upon a boss.

The boomers OF Admiral Dewey for the
presidency have acted unwisely in bringing
MI Whitney forward in the movement.
They could hardly have done a more in
judicious thing. This Is not In the least
In the nature of disrespect to the former
Secretary of the Navy, who is a shrewd
man OF affairs and a successful politician.
He is much consulted by his party at
home. and he stands accredited with sew
eral signal successes. But with one signal
success too many to make him an effective
negotiator with southern and western dem
ocrats about a presidential candidate at
this time.
Mr.. Whitney, more than any other one
man. piloted Mr.. Cleveland to his third
presidential nomination. The democracy in
the spring of 1892 showed no laundering
after the ex-President. The eastern men
were cold. and the southern and western
men were inclined to be antagonistic. Sill
Yer was the cause Of the distrust among
the latter. They were strongly in favor of
free coinage. and had had reason to know

| Democrat on Dewey for President.
| From the Chicago Chronicle.

If Admiral Dewey shall seek the advice
of friends they will tell him that he should
hesitate seriously before determining to
compromise his fame by becoming a po-
litical candidate. Would the democrats be
wise in nominating him for President with
out a platform? That experiment on e
tried. In 1910 the wings nominated John
Tyler as. their candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. They were told that he was not Il
WING. But they said that he could carry
Virginia for the WING ticket of Harrison
and Tyler. So they sang:
Wen vote for Tyler, therefore,
Without why wherefore.
Harrison died after one month in the
presidency and Tyler became President.
The history of his administration is the Sc
verest lesson in history for politicians who
nominate candidates for eXpediency and for
parties who accept heroes without plat
form their candidates.

MUSIC.
HERR SAVERS RECITAL.

Herr Emil Sauer gave his first recital last even
ing at Carnegie Hall and was the recipient Of
much indsrriminate applause from an audience
evidently little familiar with the meaning OF plano
forte playing practlsed by great artists. Those
who knew. however. found much TO praise and to
enjoy in Herr Sauer's performance as they did at
his concert with orchestra last week He made no
new disclosures OF his powers which seemed
bounded by about the same horizon they did
then; but within its limits he gave exposition OF
n most charming art-truy poetical and fine in
feeling. polished and OF exquisite finish and sensi-
tive adjustment Herr Sauer never rises 10 any
great height OF power OF passion. but he runs
gamut of delightful and ofttimes captivating sem
tment. Such pieces as Tausig's transcription
OF the Andantno and Variations by Schubert the
Romance COP. g. No. p by Schumann and Cho-
pins Berceuse he played with magical grace and
with delicate and beautiful color. The minute and
crystalline finish OF his technique displayed In
'hese things and in Schumanns Toccata. which
he took at an amazing rate of speed. but made II
simply and solely vrtuoso piece. Beethoven's APP
passionate Sonata in his hands is indeed thing OF
beauty but its proportions are much too small. and
its grandeur and deep poetical meaning are missed.
and in the Bolero Of Chopin he seemed cold
Two short pieces OF his own. "Serenade Fran
caise" and a study called "Murmure du Vent" dis
closed but modicum OF talent for composition.
and rose little above the level of salon music.
And at the end Herr Sauer discouraged and dis
heartened his admirers by finding place on his
programme for LISTS transcription Of the over
ture In "Tannhauser" the performance of which
in a musical capital like NewYork cannot be rec
oncled with the dignity OF artist such as Herr
Sauer has shown himself to be.
