VIEWS OF THE MINISTERIAL PRESS.
Now for opinions or another nature. See what
two Ministerial organs say
The IOeri0-Senor Sagasta's own organ-is OF
course very jubiiant. In one OF Its many songs OF
triumphs it excaims "Liberty Is saved The reyo-
luton Is saved ~
The POlttica-aiso Ministerial-s equally exuliant,
and says:-"The radicals are completely served out.
We are pleased at It, and felcitate the country ~
On these two cries OF triumph La Discussion says
that the involved In them could not be more
sanguinary; but the radicals may remind them of

the I0eria it says that 'what has been saved by
Senior Sagasta Is the cause OF the French Duke
Montpensier, If in this nidaldtc land traitors and
apostates are permitted definitely to triumph 7"
THE DAY AFTER THE DISSOLUTION
the committee of the radical party met TO deliberate
their future action. They had q very enthusiastic
meeting and determined TO accept no more palace
invitations On the action to be pursued the Junta
Directive by unanimity advised the party TO resort
with energy to the urns, but before the electoral
period, during 1t, the government made a fair
struggle impossible, which was greatly TO be ex-
pected from the character and tendencies Of the
situation inauguraied by the closing OF the Cortes,
the Junta would not hesitate to recommend the re-
tirement (retrdinaento) OF the radical party. The
radical party having on lis side right, reason and
Justice, ought to give to Its enemies the salts
faction OF struggling against their llegalltles. God
help King Amadeus II the radicals desert him
