WHAT WILL THE REPUBLICANS Dor
Victor Hugo's organ, the Rappcl, says:-"Many
republican Senators and Deputies have arrived.
Although no formal meetings have yet been held
there have been frequent consultations between
them. From these some general deductions may
I've made concerning the Intentions OF the repub-
lcans, and the course Of events may, to q certain
extent, be predicted.
NO ovERTUREs YET MADE.
'There have been no negotiations or overtures for
compromise with the men of the 10th OF Nav
No member OF the Left has been approached with
this object by any representative, more or less
direct OF the Elysee. In conversation between
members OF the republican party various contin.
gencics have been discussed although, OF course,
no resolution has yet been taken. In the event OF
Marshal MacMahon's retirement from the Presi-
dency M. Grevy's candidacy will be unanimously
supported.
GREvY's PROBABLE COURSE.
I'M Gr6vy has allowed 1t to be understood that
he would not shrink from any duty responsibility
In the interest OF the republican cause. Should
the Marshal retain his post with republican MIN
istry, the unanimous opinion prevails that more
ef1ecttve guarantees must be required than In the
case OF previous Ministries The members OF the
committees OF the Left in the late Chamber viii
meet on Monday to resolve upon the course OF the
party"
