THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.
Writing-in the *'Fortnightly" of the' possible candidates for the American Residency, Mil- H. Hamilton. Fyffe says : "Yet one more- possibility remains to. oe noted. If Senator La Follette should' :be put into the contest by the Insurgents, the country would have the opportunity of eleotimg a very remarkable man. But the country would not take it, and the country wou-M be right. Apart from his increasiag d&aiiaiesis, and in spite of his brilmzib gifts—gifts of political insight, ci tactical skill, of polished eloquence—this little 'mam. with the wide-icpen steel-grey eyes, whose upstandho-.tg crop of hair has. won ham the name of Bavshy Bob, would not be regarded as a "jDapendabfe" President. That i.s .wihiat the country needs, and has made up its mindi to get. Either Wobdrow Wi/Jlsou (should) the ividii of the people prevail) or Judison Harmon, (if the ' "bosises" win) would, take to the AVUrite House the "safe and sane" qualities which are required."
