PARIS, Jan. 8. 1872
It is q well known fact IN france that II those
anxious TO get to power have. before everything
else recourse to starting newspapers. those about
to slip from the heights throw themselves upon the
same expedient. Republicans imperiaIists, ultra
montanes. rovallsts-all have done the same over
and over again. and up TO the present moment,

much against him. Things must have changed

VICTOR HUGO 8 CANDIDATuRE.
It will seem unlnteligb.e IN America that the
election OF one Deputy to an Assembly consisting OF
several hundreds OF members can absorb the whole

threaten Its existence. Yet such is the fact, and
these are the reasons for II. II Hugo be elected

proof tnat the ultra republicans not only strong
In number but in unity of aim and in discipline,
