st. Paul Globe Calls on Democrats to
Make the Nomination.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.-The Globe will to-
morrow morning in its leader advocate the
nomination Of Admiral Dewey by the. next
Democratic national convention. TIL Globe
will say:
The hour has come. and the man is here.
Sailing over the sea from the far East is the
colossal living figure Of American history,
a man with a hand of iron, a heart Of ex-
Quisite tenderness, a sense Of honor which
has led him through more than three-score
years along the path Of eternal right; a
man who knows little of politics. and has
mingled less with politicians; a man who
has decided the questions before him with
the sword and the scales Of justice with all
necessary speed and with as much mercy
as possible to the fallen foe.
1.-THE Democratic party has but to make
this man the magnet of the campaign on a
platform Of living principles. the central
planks Of which shall be death to the trusts
and autonomy for the Philippines, Cuba and
Porto Rico. Upon this platform can stand
the most popular man of the western hem
isphere, the idol Of the greatest nation on
earth. George Dewey. hero of Manila bay
and admiral Of the American navy"
