THE CUBAN ELECTION.
The first election under the new. con
stitution of the Cuban ; Itepublitwas
held yesterday for: the ; selection of
Governors for the six provinces, u The
principal parties that , hve arisen
Since the .agitation .begaijl for the new
constitution, are the Nationalists and
Democrats.! The National party is the
strongest numerically and Is made up
of Cuba na who demanded j absolute In
dependence! 'of Spain during the revotu
tlon. Thev desire General rGomcs- for
President, jbut he has repeatedly re
fused to accept - the.: nomination , and
Palma. who enjoys the confidence of
Gomes and the high esteem of the peo
ple, has been named as the standard
bearer" of the National party, f Palma
was for sv time president vf the Cuban
revolutionary republic during the ten
years war;. ' He was the-presldent of
the XubanJ Junta, in New Tork ami Us

lie is friertdly to. the United States and
' i - ...... ...
enioys the confidence anl respect of
the officials at Washington who canie
in contact) with hln during the Cuban
revolution -against Spain.. ' .
"The Democratic rsrtyisr tnaiic of
the. survivo: s of the old Auton.Mnlst
, party hich st;prr- ted Spuin ia the
Cuban war for independence, but asked
the"' privilege of home rule. The mem
bers osf this party are Spaniards and
Spanish sympathizers. -iltt'
The Democratic leader , Is 0neral
Eartoivme llanso. - He lives at Man
zanillo .in the province cf Santiago,'
and is a sugar planter. He took iart
In the ten years' war, and was, for a
time, vice president of; the Cuban revo-
lutionary government In the last in
surrectlon. He is strong with the Dem
ocrats, because he was opposed to the
Piatt amendment to the constitution,
lie stands fcr that element In the pop
ulation which Is jealous of anything on
the iart of the United States whfch
looks like Interference with the affairs
of the island. " . . . . .';
Until qute recently ilasso was a can
didate for the Presidency, but1 when he
realised the hopelessness "ff his "chances
of victory he withdiew liis jjame,lud
all the. other candidates of jhis party
followed his lead and there w,as prac
tically but one party presenting candi
dates for election yesterday. ; A few
weeks! ago Maeso applied to the' War
Department to put off the election to a
later date, hoping by this means to en
hance his chances for electionL Uiron
the Tef isal of the department he with
drew as stated above and declared that
he and his followers would not partki
pate in the election Inr-any way, alt ie
maining away from the polls. This
child-like action of the Democratic
party showa the incapacity of the Cu
bans to understand the true principles
of - free government. - This, however,
is not to be wondered at when the fact
that these people have been under the
dominion of Spain for so- Ung. Js Sn
