Oewey's Democracy.

1t is taking Admiral Dewey some
time 10 decide just what kind Of
Democrat he is. That statement of
principles which was promised soon
after he made his unfortunate an
nouncement, has been long awaited
and fails to appear. Only a few
months ago. he said that being a Yer
monter he. like all his family, was a
r publican, but if he were a Georgian,
he should probably be a Democrat.
About that time, in a speech at pub
lie banquet, he expressed the hope
that President Mckinley would be re-
elected. But since his marriage and
other recent events there has been
something Of a change in his political
faith" He says he is Democrat,
but that he never voted. After all,
that is the best kind of Democrat.
His political convictions seem to be
| like those of the candidate about
whom James Russell Lowell wrote:
"Ez to my principles | glory
| In havin' nothin' o. the sort;
| ] amt Il Wing. | amt a Tory;
| I'm jest a candidate in short"
Mr.. Dooley, like all good Americans,
has been duly panied that the hero of
Manila should allow himself to fall or
| be pushed from his pedestal. The
Chicago philosopher gives free YER
sion Of the Dewey politics, which is
rich touch. Here is an extract:
