in his power, practically, to nominate his sue

of tact and had the talent OF acquiring. pop
ularity everything seemed to move on tnese
lines without exciting much discomfort; oub
President Balmaceda appeared to be wanting
in the qualities necessary TO make a success
ful statesman, and so, from an early stage IN
his term of Office, he alienated from himself
the support OF the oest ana hloSV '01
men in Chill.
In 1889 many changes occurred IN the MIN

ware formed. the political situation beng
marked by the greatest insta bility, no less than
6freen different Cabinets having been formed
in the thirty months previous to February,
and the public service suffered greatly from
the rapid partial or total changes from one
political group to another.
In February, 1890, q strong pohtlcal party
was formed UNDER the name OF the Liberal
! Alliance, the following being the chief features
IN it's platform 5: Absolute non-lnterterence OF
the President orany of his agents In electoral
contests, municipal autonomy; consonoatlon
of the Parliamentary system of government
and maintenance of the secularization laws OF
the State. 9csi
On May 80 the Cabinet resigned and a new
