 passed the lips of him that is called
 the leader of the democracy; I could
 not believe that such expressions had
 presidency. My only Offense, in real lity, is that I have ventured to be q
 candidate against him.
 With reference to the allaged hu-
 miliations which I am supposed to lhave accepted, the only witness, aside
 from Senor MaderO himself. to whom
 the people can apply for corrOboration | of the charge, is President de "a
 Barra l beg the press and the people
 to ask their president for the facts. | The humiliation to which l have sub
 jected myself before Senor Madero
 consists in the fact that in our con-
 ference of some weeks ago, my at
 titude toward him was one of courtesy
 and cordiality. l was vehemently de-
 sirous for peace, and expressed my
 willingness to cooperate with him. | The general then proceeds to eX-
 plain at length the relations between
 President Diaz and himself. That
 while there were differences between
 them. each always treated the other with respect, and he points out that
 he was the only governor of a state
 that dared to oppose the presidents
 policies, and that notwithstanding
 these differences he held with dignity the office of governor of Nuevo Leon
 for nine years, and that when he re- iIinduished that office he went abroad as a general of the army on an honorable mission. With reference to
 the present disturbed condition of the ] country, Reyes says:
 Because of my own self respect and the respect I have for the party which has named me its leader. I will not descend to the domain of of fensive language. l shall not say one hard word against Senor Madero. He brings an extraordinary charge against me, namely, that l am causing these strikes and rebellions. It is not necessary for me to enter a denial, for the public has clear evidence of the fact that the existing difficulties are caused by the refusal of the leaders of the late revolution to lay down their arms, disband their troops, and submit themselves to the orders or the government. The nation knows well my anxiety for the restoration of peace, order and prosperity l have always been for peace. That the revolutionists do not want peace is shown by the acts of their leaders. They are still bathing the soil of our country in the blood of its sons. It is indubitable that the strikes men toned by SenOr Madero have been caused by leaders of the socialists. Not one suggestion of strike or trou- ble has come from myself.
 The fact that Senor Madero was able as soon as he saw fit, to end the Zapata rebellion in Morelos' shows that he is able to control the revolutionists any time he chooses. The rebels are ready to follow hls dictation."
 The general closes with the state ment that he has been, and is. in sympathy with the revolutionists so far as to recognize the necessity Of numerous reforms.
 "El Imparcial," the leading Mexi- can newspaper, in commenting upon the pronunciamentos of Madero and Reyes. goes into an analysis of the of each for the presi- dency. and also of the qualifications of President de la Barra, and reaches the pessimistic conclusion that neither of the three measures up to MeXicoS present requirements. The three leaders are urged to get together and select a man whom all three can support, and place him in the presi- dential chair. Failing in an early solution, "El Imparciar' says, an other revolution is certain, and equal ly certain is intervention by the Unit ed States.
 "A view of the field in which this electoral combat has been launched suffices to show" says lmparclai, that it is Of violent and fiery char acter We must not deceive ourselves. We are standing over volcano whose explosion will destroy the tenn ple of peace, the edifice of the law the temple of democracy Reyistas and Maderistas are sowing the seeds of the future revolution. And do our readers realize what it will mean 10 have another revolution? The coun- try still remembers viidly the dis quietude caused by the danger or American Intervention in the late rev olution. And while it is true that the government of the neighboring | republic has given many proofs of | its strong disinclination to interfere In our affairs, it's unwillingness to un- dertake with light heart an advent ure so full of frightful possibilities, the renewal of the revolution in Mexi- co will oblige the United States to follow different line of conduct from i that of the late revolution. Then will come our everlasting disgrace and | floats over our land | the flag of the stars and stripes" l.
