The ticket which will be nominated by

1t is mortifying to the friends of Ad-
miral Dewey to believe him capable of
the sentiments or the language attributed
to him.-Kansas City Star.

ment is likely to have more weight as
time goes on.-Indianapolis News.

Admiral Dewey has never talked such
nonsense before, and if he has begun now
he himself has furnished the most con-
vincing argument against his nomination.
Detroit Evening News.
Probably behind it is the ambition of
Mrs. Dewey to become the first lady Of
the land and to be the leader of Wash
ington society as mistress Of the White
House.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Many of the admiraps sincere friends
will be extremely sorry. Admiral Dewey
is lion, but he will discover that VIII

self.-Omaha WorldHerald.
Dewey's candidacy, supported by the
united Democrats, by the Independent
voters and by the thousands of Republi-

certainty.-New York World.

at Manila is not lessened by the cool
American opinion that the nominations

If he is correctly quoted in the inter
view asserting his determination to be-
come candidate for President he ex-
hibits a want of appreciation of the i'm
portance and dignity of the position TO
which he aspires. Sentinel.
The admiral seems to have small
chance of hearing a call from the people.
He may be willing to serve them, but it
services as naval officer have not con-
vinced the country that he is qualified
to be President.-Chicago Chronicle.
At the very outset of his candidacy the
admiral has given us an exhibition of his
ignorance of actual political conditions
in this country which could not be sur
passed as an illustration of his complete
and comprehensive unfitness for the high
position to which he aspires.
