In To Stay.

That genial apostle of prevarication
the Detroit News, has put forth the
story that Col. Bliss has simply Deen
put In the field to assist Ferry. What
ever may be said of the able manag-
ing editor Of the Detroit sheet, Il can
never be said that he wastes any
time In digging up the truth. Col.
Bliss is, OF course, in the field to stay.
The News story has not peg of fact
to stand on. He seems to be the
only candidate to whom the people
can pin their faith. He does not ask
the assistance Of those who have no
political opinions, but he appeals To
the people of Michigan as a stalwart
Republican, who has never sacrificed
the traditions Of his party, nor stood
IN the way Of their winning out. He
has no potato" patch to offer them,
but he offers the services of a gallant
veteran who knows the requirements
OF the state, and will permit no scan
dals under his administration.
Ii the people of the state of Michi
gan will think the situation over
they naturally will see to IL tha,
their own logical candidate shall re
ceIve the nomination, and getting

The attempt which Is evidently
being made by a few of the Dem
ocratic enemies o; Bryan to put Ad-
miral Dewey in the deld as a pres
idential aspirant is almost too silly
to warrant any serious consideration,
but 1T shows the desperation of the
Democrats in the matter of a pres
idential candidate. The same per-
sons tried to draw Dewey out last
year, so as to make him available"
as club with which to beat Bryan
in the national convention. They
desisted however, when Dewey told
them he knew nothing and cared
nothing about politics, and would
not accept the nomination of any
party under any circumstances. One
OF the velly papers has now inveigled
the Admiral into saying that IL any
considerable number Of the people
want him to become their candidate
he will accept a nomination.
