IMAGINATION TO BE SUPPORTED
Much has been said Of the Executive power. On that
subject wish express my thoughts to you gentlemen
here once and for ALL The who is at the head of
the State Magistrate, the President OF the Re-
public may rest assured that it will not be tie RepuD
licans who will question: either to weaken, to bete or
to change the powers which he derives from the funda
mental compact. We may even say whatever may nave
been attitude on tho 2ith or May, WHICH
was but a coalition to bring back the mCn-
archy and against which change We were DOuhd
to hght-whateyer may have been our attitude On
that occasion, we can aud We ought to say for the
information of all that 1t has not been our fault that the
person and the chief OF the state has not been always
sustained above the plane Of parsanshp IL was not so
with our advemr.es How often have they introduced

THE REMOVAL OF OBNOXIOUS OFFICIALS.
Mark we do not demand, for sacrifice hecatombs Of
functonarics; do not insist that We initiate oui ad-
yersares who since the 2ith OF May have been hunting
those far and who had part in the 4h OF September
those who were Republicans pursuing them like Ieasts
OF prey, stripping them all irrespective OF their past ot
their titles OF their rights hunting them because they
were Republicans and this under the authority derived
from the provisional republic. l repeat do not ask
hecatombs know very well what officials are. what
ask is loyal and res0uc government that Is to say,
