Not the Right Man.

We Of the south have an especially

Times Democrat. With Il man like Me
Kinley this reason would not have had
such substantial ground. President
Roosevelt las shown TOO well that he
is incapable Of rising to the broad and
patriotic recognition " his duties as
president of the entire country. His

led him into an attitude most baneful
TO the south and its best Interests.
Possibly the sense OF his great re-
sponsibility may yet sober him So that
his subsequent conduct will do some
thing To atone for the unwisdom Of his
former attitude.
We are aware that even the sUpposi-

Road strewn with broken Hopes.

The loss of the presidency was prob
ably not nm overwhelming disappOin;
mcnt 20 Judge Parker. fore he could
hardly have been under any serious de-
fusion regarding his chances Of sue
cess. But the way To the great Office Is
strewn with the broken hopes and shat
tered ambitions OF those Of his prede-
cessors who had given the best part OF
their lives To- the pursuit Of the prize
only To- lose IL in the end.
The Kansas City Star begins the list
with Joan Jay. who sacrificed his pros
poets by negotiating an unpopular
treaty with Great Britain. n ends
with Thomas ". Reed. While there
were disappintments of aspirations
early in the history OF the country. the
first case that appealed To popular i'm
agiuation was THAT Of Henry Clay. the
brilliant Henry OF the West" Clay
was passed over in 1870. because his
tarin views made him less available
than William Henry Harrison. Four
years later he secured the nomination
only tO be- defeated by the first demo
cratic dark horse. James n. Polk.
Webster was another leader who was
sacrificed 20 the CXigencies Of the pop
ular demand. In iS4S the wings desert
ed their chiefs and went over To the
military hero. Gen Taylor. although the
Massachusetts statesman. according to
all precedentS. was enlisted To the
nomination. Again. IN 1852. Webster
lost to- another soldier. General Win
field Scott. In 1860 Gov. Seward. Uf
New York. was the republican leader.
and the logical choice OF his party. Blu;
the know nothing element caused his
defeat and made possible the nomina-
ton of Lincoln.
Salmon u. Chase was another man
with n presidential ambition which was
never gratified. He hoped to- secure
the nomination in place of Lincoln in
1864. Defeated at that time. he looked
forward four years 10 the democratic
convention. which rejected him and
named Gov. Seymour. To avenge his
defeat his daughter is reported TO have
induced Conkiins not TO fight the decis-
ion OF the electoral commission award
ing LoUisiana's vote to Hayes. For Mr..
Tilden had been the real power behind
SeymouT's nomination. Thus a grudge
over defeat helped to deprive the
democratic candidate in 1876 OF his vic
tory Horace Greeley succumbed in
1872 under his crushing defeat and died
n few DAYS af:er the election.
