past, the party storm is hushcd tho political waves
calm once more If you were TO inquire what produced
this disturbance what made tho politicians speak mys

dngs, you would find some difficulty in obtaining salts
factory information In fact have made the attempt in
dozen Of instances, and in dozen Of instances have
failed. Nobody seemed to understand the difficulty, al
though everybody believed there very grave
character. AS it happened, however, that had the
inside track, could keep little ahead Of tho

and being right will now go ahead and tell you all
about it.

Of the resignation? Was Comcnfort substitute Of Alvarez
and must his powers cease with those OF Alvarez This
seemed to be the general impression in all circles; al

Alvarez has resigned all his powers since last December
and his title as President ad Interim only honorary
Tho Ncricdn Erraordindry Ango-Saxon paper, took
another view OF the question: asserting that Alvarez
possessed only the delegated sovereignty the people
was himself only substitute for the nation, and Comon

that there could not be Substitute Of Substitute;
that any other aspect would present Alvarez as a
sovereign, which ho would dsclaim, and that
his title Of President proved him only to be repre-
sentative, and not principal This statement Of the
question translated and understood serving
somewhat clear tho atmosphere. The liberal papers
came out unanimously in support of Comonior and tho
people also cvnccd almost iiko unannity.
