The Pail Mall Gazette says that an English
electoral agent would see no chance of success
fully running the majority of the candidates
who offer themselves in French constituencies,
and still less those who come forward at Ger
man elections. A French candidate must have
brains, a German one learning, an English one
property; i'll fact, a foreign candidate must be
something, an English one somebody. The
publication of great book, the achievement Of
some mighty engineering work. may render an
Englishman interesting, and even popular, but
it will not help him to seat in parliament.
