From FL Republican, of the 7th August
The elections of this Canton are taking place
with the greatest GOODNESS and indifference The
moral coercion exercised by power, and the threats
held out by certain electOneering agents, have
enervated The public spirit and kept away the cti-
zens from the assemblies. IL having become known
that the voters of the towns OF Los Altos did not
wish TO vote against their consciences captain of
the guard of the President left for those parts ac-
companied by two soldiers, armed with ,nces an d
carbines, to frghten of the voters and secure a
forced vote TO enable General Monagls to hand
over the command Of the republic TO his brother
The sons of the President have been going over
the different parishes Of this city during the cleo
ton days, and TAXI q men vote for the electors
who must nominate the uncle to succeed the IA
ther. The soldiers Of the irrison have voted with
different names in different parishes; some Of them
have BEEN caught in the act, and Others have sue
sembly of 'Caiedral sent one of those soldiers to
prison for having offered TO vote under another
mans name. Mr.. Pacheco recognized another
who was going up to vote in like manner, and made
been many such cases. We shall hereafter give
other details and accounts of the election scandals

To VENEZUELA Caracas has witnes sed the
scandal OF the elections-the assemblies converted
into soldiers barracks, the coercion exercised by
bribery perpetrated in the very presence of the
judges! The people suffer the people have seen
all. The same has taken place in the outside pa
rlshes, and in the other provinces: In Fictona,
the coercion has been terrible the threats Of death
have been repeated 1t is we'll The people have
witnessed it, the people are suffering Let General
Jose Gregorio Monagas be elected in spite of public
opinion let the terror of the bayonet be added to
the mockery of the people Providence will deter

must last Time will prove that Venezuela is not
a nation Il slaves"
From FL Clsmor Publico, Of 18th August
General Monagas, on turning his eyes to the past
years of his government, trembles, and is ansibi-
lated. He sees the great evils ne has inflicted on
society, and fears the punishment. Let himre-
trace his steps, and the nation will forgive him his
most grievous faults, and will let him live quietly
on his savsnnas

ELECTION REcoRDs.-The news which reach US
In all the provinces the partizans Of the govern
ment have carried OUT the same system Of violence
which they have practised in this city. In all the
assemblies have appeared suspicious individuals,
max inn fhraa l,o ,n,o
have been purchased signatures have been forged,
and scandals and excuses have been committed.
IL appears to have been preooncerted plan to
take by surprise the people Of Venezuela. Not
wifhstandDg, il is consoling to know that in some
places the popular will has mastered the machine
lions Of power. All this proves what we have
pected the dynasty Of the Monagases is in its last
, dson n"nd dhe oh Of January ISL will OeeI
return thanks to the Almighty, because the most
long and weghty administration of General Jose
Iadeo Manages will have passed away forever
From this moment we invite our fellow country
men to celebrate that solemn day, in which the
union OF Senezuelans may be secured; and from
this time we congratulate ourselves with the civil
lied world, because Venezuela will place itself in
situation to regain its lost happiness, its stained
honor, its lost credit, and TO prove that she is not
the patrimony OF the Manages family.
All Venezuela knows the scandalous act commit
Tsdeo Monagas, alone and .olasvely, and for the
benefit Of Gen. jesse Tadeo Monagas. Caracas
still remembers the horrible scenes OF that day
OF blood, and weeps over the sacrifice Of so many
Ventzulsns for the advantage of one single in
divdual. SWhat was the conduct Of Gen. MOnagas
on that horrible day, which he alone had brought
the recollection Of the words which csc ape the lips
of the President OF the republic, in the midst of the
horror OF those desolating scenes. His excelcncy,
stationed ON the small square Of San Francisco, re-
ceived with sarcastic salutations the worthy re-
preseniatives Of the people that presented to
him; some OF them he iDsulted, others he spurned
away. At that moment he considered himself the
arbiier Of the the lives Of all these unhappy men.
But afterwards, IN the government palace, when the
Senate OF the republic inerceded in favor Of their
unhappy companions Of the House, " hat was the
reply OF his excellency in the presence Of the
assemblage that surrounded him, in the
very presence Of the respectable Senator's at whose
head was most distinguished clergyman Alas
his excellency, with grating voice, demanded the
heads Of hive individuals, and said he would be
10 the most notable act OF the nstraton. as we
mean TO speak Ct the 18th of.Augst, 1919. On that
day the second campaign terminated with the
capuation made Ivy the forces of General Paez
with those Of the army Of General Monagas. Paez
regousy fulfilled the cspitulation and delivered up
his arms. But what did General Monagas do at
Caracas on receiving the news? His exccllency
received the intelligence with displeasure, because
Gen. Pasz survived the war. Instead OF fulfilling
that compact in which the national faith was cos-
cerned. bis exceency delays the expulsion OF Gen.
Psez, and dsposes Of his person according TO his
price 10 trdverre one hall OF The re-
public from prison to PRISON, and finally shuts him up
in dark fortress at Cumana. lie there keeps him

reptiles; he deprves him Of light and almost pre-
pares for him the bed Of death. The Congress Of
