From the City Of Mexico

SUPPOSED ELECTION OF HERRERA
TRIUMPHS OF THE PEACE PARTY :
MOVEMENTS OF SANTA ANNA-HIS
ADDRESS TO THE MEXICAN PEOPLE
THE GUERILLA SYSTEM, &c. -.
By way of Tampico, the Picayune has
files OF papers from the city of Mexico 10
the 10Th Of May, which is eleven days la.
ter than the previous advices.
The ELECTION for President was held NJ,
the 18th, and it was generally supposed
that Senor Herrera was the successful can.
didate. The Picayune thinks this il NOT
the ex-president Herrera. The news of
the election is very imperfect Angel
Trias, Governor Of Chihuahua, got the
vote of the department Of MexicosH Herrera
succeeded in Queretora; Puebla voted for
ID Melchior Ocampo. The Commercial
Times states, that on the 24sh intelTigence
reached Vera Cruz from the capital that
Herrera was elected. The writer on
whose authority this is given states, the
cause of his success was from desire gen.
orally felt among the thinking part Of the
people for peace. The statement needs
confirmation. ss sa,:g, f-;.-,.,."'..
Santa Anna had left the command Of
the army Of the east to assume the duties
OF President. He was to enter the cani.
tai on the 18th. In letter published in
the papers he states he had been industrf.
ously organizing guerilla parties. He had
issued a manifesto TO the nation, but no
copy Of it has been received in this coun-
try. twas to be published on the 2Oth.

RETURN OF VoLuNrEERs.-Laste even.
ing the steamer Ringgold arrived at this
port with portion Of the Tennessee vol.
unteers. We have never seen so sponta.
neous movement upon any similar occa.
sion. A single tap upon the market house
bell called together some thousands Of our
citizens, who proceeded to the landing,
where procession was formed, and the
volunteers were conducted to the square.
Unfortunately all the volunteers did not
arrive, but the greater portion of those who
came on the Ringgold will remain in town
until the others reach here, which will
probably be to-day. A warmer greeting
was never extended to men, than the peo.
pie Of Nashville gave the volunteers from
Tennessee Wash. Orthop.
We understand the requisition upon this
State for troops has been complied with;
that the regiment is full, and several com.
panies reported over and above the number
called for.-ladianapolis Jour. June 4.

state Convention.

We suppose ii to be generally understood that the
democratic party of the State of Indiana will hold
State Convention at indianapolis, the Sth Of Janu-
airy, 1913. Why it has not been called by the State
Central Committee do not know but presume
they will shortly attend TO the matter. Besides the
usual business of the Convention delegates to be
appointed to a National Convention to nominate can
ddates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. This
subject agitated some time since, and PROPOSE
ton was made to have the delegates appointed by each
Congressional District Convention. This method was
lieve in any district excepting the 9th, 9th and 10TH
These districts, believe, chose delegates and we
presume that State Convention would ratify tie
same. At all events, a convention should be held
aud we conceive it time for the people to be moving
in the Every town, county and district should
be represented From extensive correspondence,
we are led believe that it will be of the largest
ever held in Indiana.
Will our brethren Of the Press give us their views
on the subject Let us have entire unanimity. Let
us keep the call before the people. Let them ACT in
the premises. Let have such a convention will
infuse spirit into our party, wake it from its supine-
ness, and move onward the great ball of progress
Western interests important this juncture
to be neglected aud unless the democratic party keep
up and render efficient its organization. let us
not be surprised to have our advantages wresed from
us by willy aad sleepess foe, and our noses brought
10 the stone by return to the wild and visionary
schemes of federal whiggery. Let ACTION. then
be the word

Editorial Convention.

What say our brethren of the Democratic press OF
Indiana to holding convention some day or two after
the State Convention 1t could be arranged that
the general Editorial Convention might also be held,
as we believe the wings intend holding State Con-
vention shortly after the sth of January. Consua-
ton and mutual advsement would tend to a better
understanding among ourselves on all matters OF pub
lie policy; and it to would result favoraby
to our party, our principles, and ourselves Many,
very many reasons might be given in favor of such a
meeting; but they Will suggest themselves. Breth.
rem, what say ye!

By reference to our advertising columns, 1t will be
seen that SPALDING's GREAT North AMERICAN CIR
Gus will shortly visit this place. When say that
this is the greatest company now travelling, we but
reerate the universal opinion of the press, wherever
they have visited 1t is monster troupe of extraor-
binary performers, far superior to any who have hith
erto exhibited here. In addition will be seen the
greatest female equestrian performances exhibit
ted and if this not enough, let call aten-
ton the celebrated Band secured by the managers
and led by The immortal Ed. KENDALL. When we
say that it is worth the price of admission TO hear
him alone, we but speak what we knoO from expert
ence simple notice is not sufficient to do justice
To this troupe, and therefore advise all to and
hear for themselves.
