DEWEY'S CANDIDACY.
About the Facts of 1t.
From Louisville Courier Journal
Saws the Buffalo Express:

From Louisville Coulier-Journall
Says the Buffalo Express:
"A year ago Henry Watterson was urg-
ing Dewey for the Presidency with great
enthusiasm. Now that Dewey has an
nounced himself, Mr.. Watterson makes
haste TO say he will support Bryan. Are
all Of the numerous requests which Dew
ey says brought him into the presiden-
tial field of this character?"
This is good illustration not merely
of a certain confusion Of mind in the
average newspaper, but of the lack Of
continuity Of thought that marks the
average writer in treating of things
past, present and TO come. Considerably
more than year ago the Courier Jour
nal was not urging Dewey for the Pres
idency with great enthusiasm" but it
was representing to the Democratic lead
ers the ACCESSIBILITY of turning to Dewey
as an available candidate as Che Wings
turned TO Taylor in 1s4S and the Repub-
licans turned to Grant in 1868 The sug
gestion came TO naught. Dewey made
haste to declare that be would not have
it. The Democrats made haste to de
clare that they would not have it. Thence
forward it became perfectly clear that
there would be no serious opposition TO
Mr.. Bryan, and from that day TO this
the Courier Journal has repeatedly said
as much. accepting the case as made up
and rejecting all other suggestions as
puerile and futile. The recent outgiving
of the good Admiral would be laughable
if it we're not pathetic, and viii play no
part upon the political checker board,
II two years ago he had listened to the
overtures that were made to him the
case would have been different, for, be-
hind those overtures, there was abun-
dant backing of the most powerful kind.
But, now, it is two years too late, and,
the field made up, there is neither OPP
portunity, nor room. for another entry.
That is the sum and substance of it.
Nor any discredit TO the great Admiral
either, nor the detIaction of one petal
from his well-won laurels.

WHO is GOVERNOR f?
Now Up to United States Su-
preme Court.

The State courts have all declared in
favor of the Democrats IN the matter
of the Governorship
All the papers are now before the SUI
preme Court of the United States IN
Washington, and the lawyers on both
sides present for the argument. 1t is
not known when q decision can be ex-
pected
The Republicans have objected to the
State courts decision, because a major
ity Of the Judges are Democrats, and,
therefore. the contention that their de-
cislon is partisan. On the same reason.
ing the Democrats can object to any
adverse decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, because a major
ity OF the Judges are Republicans. But,
after all is said and done, the courts
must be the final arbiters. Their de-
cision, even though partisan, is better
than war. And the decision of courts
is not necessarily partisan because par
tis4n politicians so charge.
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1900-04-20

Most anybody could have done what
Dewey did. So Of Nelson; so Of Alex
ander; SO Of Napoleon. and, in fact, so of
most anybody. Most anybody could
have been Gushing or Hobson, and
most anybody could have made Jack
sons Valley campaign. and in fact most
anybody could be a hero and a credit to
the particular breed of people from
which he sprang. The thoughts are call
ed to mind 10y the remarks Of the ven
turesome who are inclined TO regard
Dewey as very ordinary old sinner, un-
der the rule of the petticoat since ne has
expressed a willingness 10 accept the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency.
