When the good is weighed with the bad his Governor-Generalship has been
uestinctly to our good, indeed it would be impossible for him to be otherwise
lie owes a debt of gratitude to His Majesty's Minister for exposing intrigues
against him and also to His Majesty's Consul.
For the rest it may be said he is pulling the strings all the time in order to
be in favour with everybody. He was brought up in Russia and visits the
Russians and keeps m with them : where locally he cannot defeat an adversary
he makes terms with him. ■
He came to Kerman with the idea that he could elect asmall block of men to
help mm m the Mejliss. This he found impossible^and he brought in all parties
member of the Mejliss for Nishapur but it is suspected that the Prime Minister
attempted to turn him out he turned to the democrates who supported him with
the result 1 hat when the elections came 3 democrat members were elected. One
or two of these will however probably be unseated on petition owing to the
methods used. The Governor-General is now, in order to unseat one of these
members, whom he elected but to whom he is no longer attached, exposing the
methods which were really those which he sanctioned and used."
At the same time his various intrigues have broken the democrat party
as an entity, the various sections being nearly as often against each other as
together.
The Governor-General desired to. proceed to Tehran to take his place as
member of the Mejliss for Mshapur but it is suspected that the Prime Minister
does not desire the presence in Parliament of so able a debater and parliamen
tarian.
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Moazzam has the reputation of being the second best speaker
in Parliament.
Mujallal-es-Saltaneh left for Tehran at the beginning of September his
relief Muazid-i-Azam arriving on the 18th of the same month.
He was a member of the old school and though he held good certificates
Karguzar. froin previous Consuls—he had held his
i • i o appointment for 5 years—he was emi
nently 01 the type which faces towards the sun as represented by the longest
purse. He was valuable, fond of wine and good living and kept a large harem.
On the whole he was fairly satisfactory.
The new Karguzar Muazid-i-Azam is a man of a more modern tvpe favour-
able to Europeans and European ideas but too timid to be successful. He is
aiso apt to act rather as an advocate for the Persians than as a judge. He is
attempting to put the Karguzari upon a basis of rule and regulation which Is
sometimes vexing to those accustomed to the easier regime of bygone days.
