PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES

The denomination of George b.
Mcclellan for the mayoralty of
New Y ork and the certainty of his
election has resulted in some in,
teresting speculation as to the
possible action of the democratic
party in the future. Despite the
antipathy to Tammany in New
York city, it is agreed upon all
sides that Mcclellan has made
splendid mayor, and it is apparent
that it is impossible to organize a
fusion movement of sufficient
strength to even endanger his re-
election for the the term of four
years beginning January next.
1t is generally accepted, too, in
New York that next year Nc
Clellan will be the democratic
candidate for governor, and that
the result of that candidacy will
unquestionably have some bearing
upon the choice of the democratic
candidate for president in 1908.
If Mcclellan should be elected
governor next year he would be
clearly in the field as a presiden-
tial possibility of respectable pro-
portions, despite the fact that
there is among democrats every
where disposition to steer clear
of New York for a while.
Mcclellan is a young man of
culture and education and comes
of first class democratic stock
General George B. Mcclellan, his
distinguished father, was the dem
ocratic nominee against Lincoln
in 1864, and Notwithstanding
Lincoln's great popularity in the
North, and the fact that the civil
war was in progress and eleven
States taking no part, Mcclellan
ran behind Lincoln only 400, 900
in the popular vote. Subsequently,
General Mcclellan was the demo
cratic governor of New Jersey.
Judging from those mentioned
now, it would seem certain that
the democracy will choose its stand
ard bearer from the ranks of the
young men.
Those mentioned most at present,
| besides Mcclellan, are William j.
Bryan of Nebraska, Joseph W.
Bailey of Texas, Joseph Folk OF
Missouri and Hon. William Travers
Jerome of New York. Of these.
| Mr.. Bryan is the senior. 1t is a note
| worthy group of young men.
All of them are men who became
famous while in their thirties, and
all have grown steadily in public
estimation from the time they
made their entry into public life.
| 1t would be fortunate thing fo1
the country if either Ofthem could
be chosen to succeed the present
!, strenuous occupant of the White
House.
