The great liberal. Iehn Bright, when in- teviewed, the other day, by reporter of the London 7slegrapA, said: "The presidential fight in America has been very warm, and at this time it is diff. cult for me to say which candidate will be returned. Arthur, it seems, has given up the race, but he Is still holding on to the office and, in fact, 1t may be diffi- cult to displace him. He has made a very acceptable president, and his sup porers, though quiet, are very strong. Lord Conkling-who in reality is a younger son, and consequently not lord, has had practically nothing toysay during the struggle. It was at one time thought that he would be a candidate. but not having been born in New York, it ap- pears that he is ineligible. MT. Hayes who was displaced because he raised chickens in white house, is ignored. l do not see why using a house painted white should have SO incensed the Amer ican people, since a well known poultry man says that the house where the chickens are kept should be white washed.
