New York Tribune.D


It;was declared yesterday by those who
are In position to know that while
Senator Lodge and Gov. Roosevelt we're
at breakfast yestsrdsy morning the ques-
tion of the Woe -prefi Dental nomination
came up, and that Senator Lodge earnest
ly advised the Governor to accept the
nomination II 10 was rendered Senator
Lodge, so some Of his friends declare,
stamps as untrue the reports circulated
In some quarters that an effort will be
made TO stampede the Philadelphia con-
ventiop for RooseVelt for Pretident. 1t
IL declared further that Senator Lodge
telievss that Gov. Rooseys Will accept
the Woe -prssid entail nomination II 10 is
of red to him. 1t was added yesterday
that since his talk with Senator Lodge
and owing TO certsin other developments.
the Governor, who up to the present has
stsrnly declined to consider the posei.
bility of nomination, was bes iuning to
regard the matter with more favor, amt
that he might pcssi ply be won over. 1t
is said by the friends Of the Governor that
ne has no belief that there will lie any
sIontsneous outbreak for i'm In the cnn-
vsntiop. but 1t Is added that II there
is he will be likely to acquiesce.
LET TIE TRUTH COME OUT.
(Boston Herald.)
The action of the friends of Rear Ad-
miral Schlsy, In the matter OF the Jealous
controversy bstwsen him and Rear Adj
miral Sampson, has reached q stage where
the honor OF the administration and the
honor Of the American navy alike demand
that the whole business shall Dc COM
plstely exploited, and Justice be done,
whoever may be exalted or disgraoed.
This fostering sore can no longer be
wisely covered and concealed. Ii Is time
for herois treatment, for the causio and
the knife. The nation can bear knowl-
edge of the worst. 1t can hear degree
dalton OF officers Of high rank and patFi-
otic service, II need he. Il cannot an
dure the scandal OF concealed in'quiy
nor the worse scandal of Withholding
of due honors to its naval heroes, by sub
jecting the President or Congress to
political blacku, all. Ne want no Dreyfus
affair In America.
