DEWEY \ REPUBLICAN,.
Special to the World.

special 10 the world.
 Rear Admiral George Dewey has been suggested repeatedly as possible demo- cratic candidate for president in 1900. The World correspondent has interviewed his two brothers and his nephew, who say the admiral is a republican, but not partisan.
 Charles Dewey, brother, said the ad- miral had never voted since he entered the navy in 1854. He has never been where he could vote. His legal residence is in Mont pelier, and he would vote here if any, where.
 T have always considered George re- publican,' he said, "but not a partisan in any sense of the word. I believe he is a republican, the same as the rest of the family, his brothers and his father and he would naturally inherit the political principles of his fathers family"
 Mr. Dewey exhibited a newspaper inter- view with George Dewey on his politics published in San Francisco thirty years ago in which the admiral said
 'I am a republican, l came of old Yer mont stock rooted deep in the soil that faces the rugged slopes of the Green mountains. But you know we navy officers are not inclined to discuss partisan ques- tions aboard ship
 Charles Dewey said he knew of no reason why the admiral should have changed his politics since that time.
 Edward Dewey, another brother, who lives at Montpelier, was substantially of the same opinion.
 w. T. Dewey, a nephew of the admiral and man who has devoted a large amount of time to the genealogy of the Dewey family, said:
 ''I do not believe Uncle George has voted in the last forty years, but his father his brothers and his son are republicans and I have always regarded him as such Imme- diatey after graduation he was ordered to Key West, and since that time he has never been in Montpelier. his legal resi- dence, on election days. He has recently been elected honary member of the Union League club in New York which is strongly republican, and he has also re gently been elected an honorary member of the democratic club in New York which is equally strongly democratic. I believe he is republican. though not a partisan"
 Several boyhood friends of Admiral Dewey. who now live in Montpelier. were seen. but they all declined to express an opinion for publication regarding his poli- tics, although willing to say that they supposed he was a republican.
 When General Grant was nominated by the republicans the democrats claimed him because it was known that his latest pres idential vote had been cast for the demo- cratic ticket. General Zachary Tavlor's party position was equally doubtful and both the whigs and democrats considered nominating him for president. but the former spoke first and captured him.

SEWING SCHOOL.

The Ladies' Relief society will open
sewing school for girls, on Saturday
February 4, at half past two, in the
Salvation Army hall. This school is
intended for girls whose mothers are
employed so busily, that they have no
time to teach their daughters to sew
and mend neatly. A penny week will
be charged each member of the school
to help pay materials; the garments
to be given to the makers when finished.
The ladies who teach in the school,
cheerfully give their services and it is
hoped that many children will take
advantage of the opportunity offered
them Girls from seven years old and
up may enter. Embroidery and fancy
work will not be taught Opens Febru-
airy 4th. at Salvation Army hall.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
EN- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is
s. S. goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. K. s. Clinkenbeard, promi-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes:
1.-TWO years ago was great sufferer
from Rheumatism. l had tried every
