number OF their representatives, which IN the
late Leg slative Body was only five, would be
increased 10 twenty or twenty-five. lbs hope
has not only been realized, but more has been
obtained ihan was expected.
This is especially true of Paris. Tie glo-
riou. victory Of the Opposition IN each OF The
nine district, of the capital surpassrs the bold
est expectation. In eight districts candidat"
