III Reecep.iono Of Gen. Pass IN Nem YWk-7He Pre-
sidential Eiection-1he Candidates.
We have but little news of interest to communi
cate, at this moment. The reception of General J.
A. Paez, at New York, has created feeling Of
admiration with the citizens generally; the friends
of the ustrious exiled patriot in extacies, apd
those of his enemies seem to think the honor ap-
piled to the republic ofVenezuela generally, as well
as to General Paez. They seem surprised that the
character of the General was peri, city understood
in the United States, and they feel pride for their
country, and 10 doubt the magnificent reception of
Paez will have an important bea ring the Presi-
Dental election such seems to be the opinion Of
men of influence and intelligence.
The electoral colleges Of the dliieren. provinces
met in their respective capitals, on the rs instant,
to count the votes of the electors for President we
have received the result from Valencia :-Gaz-
man Obtained p electoral votes in this province,
(Csrabobo,) Monsgas, Cose Gregorio) Z, and
Rtndon, 4. We have also received the result from
CTaces-Monsgas 81, and Guzman7. The other
thirteen PROVINCES are TO be heard FROM la The
four oriental provinces, Rendon will have large
majority, and it is no! believed that either OF the
four candidates will have majority; IN that case,
elect Jose Gregoro Monagas, (brother OF the
PresdenD az the military candidate, for fear OF an.
other 2ith January, 1913. But as the functions OF
the Pre- sident ceases the 10th January, the day
Congress meets, he will not have any power over
the military after tha, day, and the Vice President
(Guzmen) will have the power OF President after
that day until e new President is elected.
| will remark that the four candida tcs in the
field ere all hboais-so called. MonAgas il the
military candidate, and the other three the civil
car di6acs The democratic republican party Che
party Of General Paez) do not take any pir IN the
eections, nor cast single vote, so the contest
will he liberal contra liberal. SAL ANTONIO.
