NORTH SHORE’ BREEZE 
who secretly informed him footseps 
had been heard in the Town Hall, 
above the quarters of the police. 
Dressing hastily he went with the 
patrol to the Town Hall, where he 
asked another policeman if he had 
heard anything upstairs. The officer 
—a partisan of -Julio’s — answered, 
<«©No.”’ Just then he heard the jing- 
ling of keysand said, “‘ What is that?” 
The policeman answered, “‘ Seguro son 
cafres y duendes”’ (surely they are 
ghosts and fairies). But the Vice- 
President was determined to find out 
what was going on; so he took a deep 
breath, and tip-toed upstairs,and whom 
should he see, crouching in a corner 
but the Secretary and the defeated 
President! When he asked Julio 
what he was doing there at that-time 
of night he replied, ‘‘Oh, I just came 
over to see if the police were on guard, 
as I often do.”. ‘Well, it looks rath- 
er strange to me,” said the Vice-Presi- 
dent, and he left the hall and went 
home. 
The next day Julio’s partisans de- 
manded a recount, for, they said, pos- 
sibly a mistake had been made. This 
the tellers did, and, instead of finding 
68 votes for Julio and 69 for Tomas, 
there were 69 for Tomas and 70 for 
Julio. Upon further examination it 
was found that two of the blank ballots 
that had been cast were filled in with 
the name of Julio. The latter, who, 
it was found out later, had a dnplicate 
key to the ballot box, had opened the 
same the night before and committed 
this state’s prison offence. Great in- 
dignation was expressed and there was 
much talk of reporting the matter to 
the government; but this all quieted 
down when Julio threatened to expose 
the Vice-President’s mal-appropriation 
of the cemetery funds in giving a pri- 
vate dance at public expense. 
The government had fixed an hour 
after which no election protests could 
be filed. Julio—to make the matter 
more ridiculous — waited until he saw 
that no protests would be registered 
against him; then protested against 
the Vice-President for being in the 
Town Hall at midnight on no lawful 
errand. Furthermore, he drew up 
complaints against the president elect, 
for he said (with some justice) Tomas 
could neither read nor write Spanish, 
English nor his own language — Visa- 
yan ; he had been discharged from a 
public office for corruption ; was too 
old and weak to be of service as a 
president; and had been living for 
many years witha mistress. This he 
signed, in lead pencil, and circulated 
among his friends, for their signatures ; 
then, erasing his own name, he sent it 
to Bacolod; and who should take it 
but the very man against whom the 
complaint had been lodged! When 
“Street: 
Frank B. Connell, also, of Brookline? 
the newly-elected president arrived at 
Bacolod he was advised to resign, 
which, by this time, he has undoubtly 
done. 
The essay is not written ina spirit 
of derision, but to show that the Fili- 
pino has yet something to learn in the 
way of self-government.
