he repaired 10 the capitol, and As soon a.
Congress was assembled, delivered an ela-
bOrate address 10 thai body, in which he
reviewed the events Of The preceding four
years, and concluded with an extrasagant
enloginm upon Santa Anna, 10 whom he Is-
ierred as his destined successor. The cleo

Santa Anna was indicted into Office OH
The 10Th May, 1893; and although his adj.
minlstration shared the usual fate of being
opposed by his enemies in the Geld, he
succeeded IN sustaining it against all at.
lacks by the rapidity and energy of his
movements. In May, 1885, he gained a
decisive victory over General Garcia on
the plains Of Guadalupe. in Zacatecas,
which put All end 10 the intestine war. On
this occasion Santa Anna formed a holder
project than he had We. attempted; he re-
solved TO overthrow the federal ccns,i,u.
ton Of the Republic, and 10 establish in its
place a central consolidated government,
which would render him wholly indepen.
dent of the States Of the confederacy.
This was called the Plan of Toluca, from

was the doing away with the Stats legisla'

law; fos Congress dared not oppose his

mens set up by Santa Anna in 1895, and
formerly adopted by the convention of
delegates, appointed for the purpose, in
1886.
