wage committee of the National Green

Snecial 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-The champion
ship.of Schley By Bryan. in his Commoner
newspaper, is causing the admirals sup
porters Il great deal OF uneasiness. 1t is
suspected here that there may be some
thing sinister in the support which Bryan
has given the admiral who is 70 appear be-
fore a court of inquiry next month. In the
first place IL can plainly do no good. The
natural effect of Bryan's fierce champion
ship Is to arouse paTtisanship. b Is just
what Schley does not want. He is a Demo
crat. but not a partisan. He stands before
the board as a naval officer and he has no
reason 10 feel any partisan dread Of Dewey,
who is a Democrat who aspired to the
Democratic nomination for the presidency.
Yet If the appeal came to the
board on a partisan basis it would
have a bad effect. As a naval officer Dewey
may be expected TO be as fair as any
other. His position is assured and he has
nothing to fear. Yet if the appeal to his
board and to him comes in a partisan shape
it will certainly put him out of humor. AS
1t stands. some of Schley's strongest sup
porters are Republicans. Both as 10 news
papers and individuals these are supporters
OF the administration The rawlings of Bry-
an might not have any effect on these. Yet
it has a tendency 10 give an ueIy aspect
to the review which the naval board of in
quiry Will give.
In naval circles it is whispered that if
Dewey has any latent prejudices which he
will have 10 suppress they are indirectly in
favor of Schiey and not of Sampson. That
Is TO say, he has had a difference with Al
miral CrOwninshield. dislikss him very
much, and as CrOWninshield is such a de-
voted partisan OF sampson ana as the men
IN control at the department are on trial.
this may have a tendency to affect the
Manila hero personal temperament. In
snOrt, there is enough OF this 10 make the
Schley partisans very well pleased. and
they resent any effort TO inject Republican
and Democratic politics into the contro-
