This Chung Hua Min Kuo is the above child, and this Chung Hua
Min Kuo is the flower of liberty. It has been nourished and raised
by the Tungmenhui ; therefore it is but a matter of course that
the Tungmenhui should love the Chung Hua Min Kuo more than
others do. Although this time the Kuo-ming-tang has failed in its
attempt, it has been sufiicient to cow Mr. Yuan, who hereafter will
not dare to exercise the despotism of Napoleon. Thus he has
profited by this uprising. However, we are not in a position to
prophesy the future of Mr. Yuan, but it is certain that he will
become the formal President of the Republic. I cannot say just
now whether he would change his policy regarding the appoint-
ment of officials and the administration. I, Wen, will observe
the events carefully. But with regard to the destiny of the Kuo-
ming-tang, it will have the final victory.
