THE PLAN OF HIS CAMPAIGN.

There is now no doubt that the Cleve-
land wing of the Democratic party was
holding Dewey in reserve. 1t is a curious
coincidence that on Tuesday night ex
Secretary Lamont, Cleveland's personal
and confidential friend, appeared sud
denly in Washington. and that shortly
after his arrival Dewey's announcement
was given to the press
The plan of the Cleveland Whitney
Lamont combination is now known. 1t
proposes the nomination of Dewey on an
independent platform. A convention is to
be arranged through the same methods
which brought together the Indianapolis
Gold Democratic convention, four years
ago. There is plenty of money in the
combination to pay the expenses of this
gathering 1t is true that the Palmer
and Buckner ticket, named at Indian
apolis, only polled 1872 900 votes out of
total CT nearly 100000. but Deweys
friends believe that he will receive much
more generous support They say that
he will be voted for by all the Democrats
who do not regard Bryan as acceptable,
and by all the Republicans who are dis
satisfied with Mckinley, and that he, will
receive more votes than either of the two
regular candidates. Political history does
not warrant this assumption, but Dewey's
friends are willing to take the risk. They
have nothing to lose by the experiment
Dewey is the only man who will be burnt,
and he. too, is ready to take his chances.
WANTS TO DEFEAT MKINLEY.
1t is a curious fact that there is not
entire harmony of purpose between Dew
ey and the men who have stimulated his
ambition. Deweys prime motive is a de-
sire to defeat Mckinley. No one knows
this better than Senator Hanna. The
antipathy grows out of Dewey's belief
that the popular cutlery against him at
the time he transferred his popular sub
scription house to his wife was inaugural
ed and fostered by the administration
through a fear that, as an idol of the
people, he was McKinley's dangerous
rival Dewey also believes that the re-
ports of his alleged contemplated trip to
Europe emanated from the same source.
More than once, in angry moments, he
has threatened to show that the Presi-
dent would have ample cause to fear him.
OF Dewey's hostility to the President
there cannot be any doubt whatever.
The Admiral's political hackers, how
ever, want to sidetrack Bryan and elect
some other Democrat They do not want
to merely defeat Mckinley; as between
Bryan and Mckinley in the Presidential
chair they would infinitely prefer the lat
ter, and if it shall prove that Dewey is
not likely to sweep the country, they will
throw him overheard without the least
conjunction. 1t is for this reason that

Address Before sunday school Ly-
ceum. Second Baptist Church.


Senator William E. Mason of Illinois lee
tured yesterday afternoon before the Sun
day School Lyceum of the Second Baptist
Church, taking for his subject Human
Liberty which he said is as interesting
today to the people of the United States
and to the negro in particular. as when the
shackles were stricken from the wrists of
the latter over thirty years ago Continu-
ing, the senator said:
I'VE have two kinds of liberty in this
glorious land of ours-the real liberty and
canned liberty Real liberty is what the
negro is working for today; he wants moth
ing but equal rights and equal recognition.
surely this is not great demand. 1t is
not to be wondered at that he refuses to be
satisfied with canned liberty for it is a
liberty which one man breathes and says
that you should inhale 1t after he has ex-
hailed it. and after it has lost its vitality.
King George tried to give America that
kind of liberty. You all know what hap
pened to the soldiers he sent here to de-
this We have fallen into the habit of giving
canned liberty We are trying to inject
1t into ten millions of Filipinos with thir-
teen-inch gun.

mistakes, and will continue making them.
