REELECTION or DiAx.
His Prestige Due to Fearlessness and
Iron Handed Efficiency.

1t Is not remarkable that In the
Mexican elections Francesca I. Mad
Gro, who was the antireelectionists'
candidate against Diaz, received Only
z per cent. Of the vote cast in Mexico
CITY. Diaz. now serving his seventh
term, was first elected in 1876 His
present term ends November 80, 1910.
On the 18th of September he will be
80 years of age.
The rule Of Diaz over Mexico has
only been interrupted, from 1880 to
1874, when, because of a constitution
al provision against consecutive terms.
Gen. Gonzales attempted unsuccess-
fully to perform the duties of the chief
executive. 1t soon became manifest
that Diaz was the only man in Next
co who was able to hold in check the
various disaffected elements. The.
constitutional inhibition was amended.
and Diaz was reelected. Since then
at the recurrent elections nothing
more than feeble and nominal OPP
position to his candidacy has devel-
oped.
The prestige of Diaz is due in part
to his ancestry, in part to his military
record, and In part to his diplomatic
astuteness combined with his IRON
handed fearlessness and self efficiency.
fle was born at Oaxaca, and, with
Spanish blood in his veins, he is a
Mexican Indian. a man of the people.
He has fought in behalf of Mexico for
the Mexicans on many a bloody field,
and his triumphal entry into Mexico
city on June Il. 1867, marked the end
OF the painful episode of the French
intervention. Since he became presi-
dent ne has labored steadfastly to de-
velop his country's material resources.

transferred to the fair grounds
The people awaited anxiously the APP

10 O'Clock. 1t was worth waiting for
and the fiashy uniforms. handsome
horses and wagons, to say nothing of
the pretty girls. the catchy music, fur
n.shed ty i've hands. were all pleas
ing and greatly enjoyed. The ele-
plants. canels and Gagged animals
took well with the crowds.
After the parade the usual free
show was given at the grounds and
then the side show tent was opened.
These performances were given during
the entire day and evening.
AT 1870 the big show tent was thrown
open and the people came early to look
through the gigantic menagerie. which
was filled with animals Of all species
and was of more interest than ever.
The big show started at $50 o'clock
AMd for the two hours the thousands
of people witnessed performances that
are seldom equalled.
The evening show was alos well pat
ronixed. the weather being delightful
and many remained to see the tents
taken down and the interesting work
