suit There were all sorts OF rumors IN clrcula
ton concerning the intrigues oil the various par
ties One report was that the PurOs, the Con
servatves and the Santanists had entered into a
coalition to dcfeat Arsta, by concentrating their

rected an address to the Government OF thus DIS
trct, complaining bitterly Of the conduct of the
ogunt0mlento OF the City OF Mexico IN respect to
tie elections. The returns OF the election rs lar
MS received indicate that neither Of the twelve
