WOES OF THE PRESIDENCY-SEEK

Fate has a feud with the persons who
seek the presidency too carly and too
often. This is a truth which some Of the
present republican and democratic aspir-
ants. especially Mr. Bryan, should grasp.
Il am the most unfortunate man In the
whole history Of American politics" said
Clay to Henry \. Wise just after the
nomination of "T.ppecanoe" Harrison for
the campaign of $40. Il am always put
up in the years when no WING can carry
the country, but whenever any whls can
win, the candidacy always goes TO some
body else" Clay received electoral votes
in the quadrangu,ar contest Of 1894, wnen
the victory went to John quincy Adams.
In 1882 he was the whE candidate, and
Jackson swept the country, In 1874, when
he was once more the whig nominee, Polk
won Had he been nominated instead of
Harrison in lS+0-and a large majority of
| the wing voters wanted him for the can
ddacy--he would have been over whelm-
| ingly victorious a the polls.
Wehster's and Calhouns long and futile
| cndeavors TO reach the presidency are well
known to the country. So are the p"r-
sstcnt efforts and failures Of Seward
| Chase Cass. Douglas, Blaine, Sherman
| and others. when the republican conven-
| ton of 1860 met a large majority of the
| republicans of the country, Lincoln in
| cluded believed that Seward, instead OF
| Lincoln would be nominated. The can
| didacy came to Lincoln, Grant, and al
| their successors. including Cleveland

by themselves or by any of their sup
porters. The candidacy came 20 Bryan in'9
