WHAT IS BEHIND DEWEY.

The Washington Post says: There
is now no doubt that the Cleveland
wing Of the democratic party was
holding Dewey in reserve. 1t is a
curious coincidence that on Tuesday
night ex-Secretary Lamont, Cleve-
lands personal and confidential
friend, appeared suddenly in Wash
ington, and that shortly after his ar
rival Deweys 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 con-
vention is to be arranged through the
same methods which brought together
the Indianapolis gold democratic con-
vention, 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 Buck
her ticket, named at Indianapolis, only
polled 10000 votes out of a total of
nearly 15,OOO,OOO, but Dewey's friends
believe that he will receive much more
generous support. They say that he
will be voted for by all the democrats

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S CANDIDACY.

ADMIRAL DEWEI'S CANDIDACY.
Admiral Dewey. with a record made
glorious by service under and assOcia-
lions with the wise and patriotic
statesmen of our country-can never
be elected president of the United
States as the nominee of those who
have ever opposed and are now ar
rayed against those who have made
it possible for the great admiral to
achieve the renown he has. He should
take heed from the defeat of Scott.
heroic records. Warriors cannot go
before the people and win on peace
platforms-supported by those arrayed
against the government in time OF
war. Dewey at Manila expanded the
nation; can he become the candidate
of those who regret his success-and
a the flag he raised there hauled
down? Dewey glories in a grand
navy and army and does not see in
titiSi VI JUL uolScl " Illc republic.
Can he become the standard bearer
of those who hate and oppose in every
way the proper organization and
strengthening of the army? We re-
jOice that he wears the admiral's star
that his wise councils at the head
Of the naval board are to be had
that he enjoys a splendid ~home-mil-
lions OF friends wish him long life and
his loving cup filled to the brim with
joy. but they do not want to see him
become a figurehead for his past and
present opponents in Il presidential
campaign.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1900-04-13

Nelson county republicans at their
delegate convention, the first held in
the state, fired this set of resolutions
at the opposition:
We affirm II abiding faith in the
principles of republicanism as ex-
pressed in the platform of the last ma
tional convention.
We renew our devotion to the doc
trines of protection to American in
dustries, sound mdney-and point with
pride to the action of the republican
party in lne present congress in full
filling election pledges by passing the
sound currency bill, thereby taking out
of politics the disturbing elements of
unsound finances.
We heartily endorse the admins
tration of President Mckinley and
pledge ourselves to loyalty uphold his
policies. believing he is a statesman
whose devotion and wisdom is sufi-
cient to protect and care for the in
terests of the nation.
We are emphatically in favor Of ex-
pansion and the retention of the ter
ritory acquired by the glorious victory
of our army and navy in the late wal
with Spain and demand that where
our flag has one been raised there it
shall float as long as our nation lasts.

GOVERNMENT FOR HAWAII.


The house and senate have passed
bills for the creation of a government
for Hawaii. The two houses agree
ON the general scheme of government,
which provides for Il governor and
secretary of the territory, appointed by
the president, and treasurer, attorney
general, and similar subordinate Off
GERS appointed by the governor. The
legislature is made up of a senate of
fifteen and a house of thirty members.
The franchise is granted to citizens
of the United States who are able to
speak, read, and write the English
language. Citizenship for the present
is limited to those who were citizens
Of the republic at the time of annexa-
ton, so that the franchise at first will
be exercised by an extremely limited
number of people, and most of the ma
tives and coolies will not be able to
vote.
The governor has the veto power,
and there is provision 4or a judicial
system, with the right of appeal to the
circuit and supreme courts of the
United States.
The internal revenue and customs
laws are extended to the islands, and
there will be no duties levied on goods
carried in either direction between
the United States and Hawaii.

THE PUERTO RICAN BILL.

Some of the provisions of the Puerto
Rico bill. which has passed both houses
of congress. are as follows:
1t puts an end to military rule and
supersedes that with civil authority
in the administration of affairs.
1t places the administration in the
hands OF a governor and heads Of exc
cutive departments appointed by the
president by and with the advice Of
the senate.
1t creates a legislative assembly in
Puerto Rico. the members of one
branch OF which. or house of delegates,
will be elected by the qualified voters,
the members of the other being the
heads Of departments.
