strongly for monarchy The mill
tarists control the situation. IT, through
compromise, the new government was
placed in the north, it would mean Sc
cession of southern provinces, which
will most likely follow. AS it looks to-
day like division is sure to come. The
democrats are more active in support Of
a central government than the people
of the north or the south.
