SECRET IS OUT.
A Washington Correspondent Ex.
plains Mystery Surrounding
Dewey's Announcement.

Dewey's Announcement.
The Atlanta Journals Washington
correspondent wires his paper as fol.
lows.
Here is the whole secret OF the
Dewey announcement for president in
anutshell: The scheme was engineered
by Colonel Hugh @. Wallace, OF the
state Of Washington ex Secretary Will
lam G. Whitney and Hon. Daniel La.
mont. 1t first took shape at the Whit.
ney dinner in New York some weeks
ago. It's purpose was to disorganize
the Bryan Democracy.
AT the time Dewey had not been
consulted and Wallace was delegated
TO approach the admiral. Just before
Dewey went south Wallace called on
the admiral, and stated the PROPOSE.
ton and assured him that it would be
possible to capture the Kansas City
convention by keeping the scheme
quiet until the proper time to spring
it. Dewey discouraged the idea, but
frankly admitted that he would aid
any movement to defeat Mckinley.
When the admiral and Mrs. Dewey
returned from the south, Wallace sp.
preached him again and this time he
took the matter under advisement.
Thursday afternoon last, Lamont call
ed OF the Dewey home and was in
conference with the admiral for an
hour. Mrs. Dewey was in this con.
ference, and advised her husband to
become candidate. 1t was agreed at
the time that the announcement should
be made only indirectly until the ef-
feet of the suggestion could be tested.
After Lamont had returned to his
hotel the admiral sent for Charles s.
Albert, the chief of the Worlds Wash.
ingtop staff, and gave to him the die
tated interview. The idea OF the en-.
gineers of the movement was TO ascer-
tain il the Dewey announcement would
meet with such popular favor as to
carry the country by storm, and at
least deadlock the Kansas City con-
vention with the possibility Of either
nominating him or nominating some
other than Bryan.
Dewey on the other hand is bitter
toward Mckinley, as is aloo Mrs.
Dewey, largely for personal reasons,
and he is willing now to head an in.
dependent movement II he can draw
enough Republican votes to assure
even Bryan's election. His candi.
dacy has fallen fat, his promoters are
unwilling for him to head any move.
ment that might assist instead Of de-
tract from Bryan, and there is already
q threatened split between the new
candidate and those responsible fol
his candidacy.
All factions are now waiting for de
velopments before making anothe
move. II after the first wave Of dis
approval and resentment the reaction
is in favor Of Dewey, he will be urget
by the Lamont faction to continue hi
race and go to Kansas City q candi
date. II on the other hand it ha
been seen that there is absolutely nj
possibility to capture the regular Dem
ocratic nomination, the question o
his heading an independent ticket viii
be discussed and decided upon 1T
possible results.
