City of Mexico, July 1. —The unani mous nomination by tire Liberal Un ion convention of President Diaz as a candidate to succeed himself anil his reelection to the presidency, which is a foregone result of the gen eral election which takes place Ibis month, while it could not be other- wise than satisfactory to the people of Mexico generally is still a cause for some anxiety in the minds ot those who have the welfare of the republic sincerely at heart and who look for ward to the time when the “maker of modern Mexico” is no more., rue decision of Presdent Diaz lo stand for reelection was somewhat of a surprise even to his most inthni&te political associates. His advanced age—he was born n 1830 —makes it imperitive * the nation to look about for a able successor to take up tike reins of gov ernment when death causes the hand that has to long and. so successfully guided the car ot state to roioase its grasp. it is publicly known that the linar. eiers of Europe desire the retirement, of President Diaz solely because they wish the matter of succession to m arranged: during his lifetime. This is one of the conditions tlie ißluthschi'lds have made appealed u> j . a great loam to place Mexico on a golu standard. They tear final, the president will die suddenly with the. result that the country wiki be plung ed in contusion and that a soldier w„i then seize the presidency, that civil troubles will ensue and in .which case tne bondholders would be tlie .gnu.. . pal sufferers. Diaz lias hitherto been known . admit that ihe has fully realized the force ol this argument in favor of his retirement and was willing to sacii iiee himself to the situation. C 0..., quently his deeisiou to accept another term of office is all the more surpris ing. U is well understood that those who have large financial interests in Mex ico would like Ur see J. Ives Liuian lo.ir secure the presidency, as lie is considered by far tlie most able inlan der anu utptu.ti.at the republic lias yet produced.
