Pedro j Berro the Governor of Antioguia and this is
not unlikely Tor they will concentrate all their strength
upon one candidate tho only acknowledged leader or
their party hosquera was shrewd enough to damage
forever the reputation and influence which some OF tho
principal conservatives had in their party by making
them accept avors from him Thus General Herran hrs
son-inaw but political opponent damned In the
eyes OF the conservatives by hozquera rocall-
rank and salary. General Canal lost his prestige
oy receiving from Mosquera grant for building road
from Tuqurres to Barbacoas the trick was tried
with General Posada but with bad success a. had oc-

ddate OF the conservatives Mosquera endcavored to

friends BY sending Herran to him with faterng lot

very decisive tone Besides Berrio is an excellent
man.

lions will probably split among different candidates,

his Great enemy, although nominay o member of the

Muro Will probably be the fortunate Murio and

tho end OF tn, United States OF Colombia" Tho re-
public will fall into pieces; and II am not mistaken,
cauca will be the first to declare itself independent
example which will be followed by other States,
and this movement with all Of them will only be
question Of time.
