eight millions Of votes which estab-
lished the. Empire, has procured for
France eighteen years of calm and
prosperity which have not been without

Der, lS4S, surmounted all obstacles to
place me at your head; to YOU who for
twenty-five years have without cessation
guarded by your suffrage and sustained
by your cooperation, rewarded me by
your affection; believe me, new proof
of confidence, in bringing TO the ballot
box an affirmative vote YOU will exer-
