The Paris election has been decided in favor Of
Eugene Sue The complete returns from all the
sections OF the Department OF the Seine show that
SOL votes were given to NJ. Eugene Sue, and
1886 10 NJ. Lecerc. Socialist majority SID.
At the election OF March 10, the highest vote on
both sides was for Carnot Socialist, l32, 1917, and
for Foy, AntiSociaist, 1868; majority for Car
not 1854 increased Socialist ority at this cleo
ton, 1921.
The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle,
writing from Paris on Tuesday, April 30 furnishes
us with the following statement: If the return OF
the votes of the Army be closely examined, il will
also be found to be more unfavorable to the Govern
ment than it at first appears The Army is stated
to have given 6,6s4 votes TO NJ. Eugene Sue, and
6,599 votes to NJ Leclerc. The inference desired
to be drawn is, that the Army is nearly equally d.
vded between the two candidates but, on exam
nation of the return, it will be found that very
large majority of the Regular Army voted for the
Democratic candidate. In the above general return
of the votes OF the Army are included the votes of
the old invalids who are pensioned of and main
tanned for the rest OF their lives at the Hotel des
Invaides of Paris; and the Municipal Guard of
Paris, which is body OF civil police placed at the
disposition of the Project OF Police Of Paris. Now,
the votes of the Republican Guard are as follows !:
Leclerc, l,240; Eugene Sue o.. At the Hotedes
lnvalides the votes were Leclerc, l,532; Eugene
Sue CAS- II these numbers be subtraoted from the
votes OF the Army on both sdes-that il TO say,
2772 from the votes in favor OF Nj. Leclerc, aud 707
from those in favor of NJ. Eugene Sue-it will be
seen that the real number Of votes OF the Regular
Army given to NJ Eugene Sue was 5.967, while
those given to NJ. Leclerc were only $3.50.
This result is very alarming, ana appears quite
extraordinary when it is remembered how great
We're the efforts made by the heads of the War
Department TO prevent communication with the
troops and TO exclude Socialist newspapers from
the barracks to reward those who voted at the
last election in favor Of the Government candidate
sud to punish those who voted the other way
Surely this ought to be lesson TO the French
Government that it is not by coercion and violence
it will make either good soldiers or GOOD citizens 1t
is quite impossible to foresee what the effect OF this
great defeat Of the reactionary party will be- The
wise part for the Government To take would be by
frank and distinct declaration in favor Of the Repub
can form Of Government and the adoption ofa series
ol,wse and conciiatory measures 10 calm the alarms
and at the same time to regain the affections OF the
Republican party, which the recent acts ofcocrcion
have thoroughly estranged from it. Such course
would undoubtedly have the effect Of strengthening
The Government, and would probably neutralise
The INJURIOUS effects Of NJ earlier campaign against
newspapers, funeral crowns and trees of liberty.
