The New York herald., 1877-10-18

depart ifom the conservative programme,
but as have already intimated, believe
an understanding with the Left Centre is
perfectly realizable.
THE WHITE PLAcARDs-A LESSON FROM THE
LEFT.
The Left have proclaimed that they will
annul the elections obtained by permitting
the candidates to post on walls addresses
printed on white paper. which, accord
ing to law, should only be used for
placards emanating directly from the gov
ernment. All the governmental candidates
used white paper for their placards.
The Left hereby intend to lay down
principle binding on themselves
as we'll as on their opponents, and to infiict
solemn condemnation on official cam
didacy, backed by unblushing coercion.
THE LIFT AND THE CABINET.
They also announce that if Cabinet is
not formed from the majority they
will pass, at the very first sitting,
vote of want Of confidence, and,
after insuring the payment of the
interest on the national debt and the sup
plies for the army, public works and
purely administrative purposes, they will
refuse all votes necessary for the working
of the Cabinet, such as secret service
money and salaries Of functionaries, do
everything in short which can oblige a
Cabinet, acting within the law, to
abandon the struggle. The conditions on
which members Of tho Left, who might be
summoned, would agree to form Cabinet
are also spoken Of
WHAT WILL THE MARSHAL DO?
The rumors relative to the inten-
tions Of the Ministry vary continually.
The latest are to the effect that the
Ministers are inclined to resign, but
it is added that the Marshal's private ad-
visers hold that the Marshal cannot yield
to the dictates of the democracy
without breaking his repeated pledges,
but that he will accept the Left Centre if
it sewers itself from the rest of the Left
that he cannot advance toward the Left
Centre while it retains its present
alliances, rs such a step would lead
him to finally having to accept radical
Ministry. 1t is not surprising, considering
the dangerous counsels offered to the Marshal
that vague rumors Of coup detat circulate,
and that for two days business has slack.
ened, and the situation instead Of improv
ing seems to be becoming more gloomy
and disquieting. There are evidently men
who have an interest in driving the Marshal
to extreme resolutions.
CABINET RuMoR DENIED.
An official comm,niquf has been issued
contradicting rumors of the resignation Of
the Ministry. 1t points out that, for the
present at least, the Ministers must sneces.
sarily remain in office. 1t is added that the
Ministers have not for single moment en-.
tertained the idea of resigning any more
than the President has thought Of separating
himself from them.
THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORAL PROGRAMME
Minister Fourtou, receiving the Projects
to-day, explained to them in the name o.
the government that the electoral struggle
which had gained fifty seats for the conserv.
atives, would continue on October 28 at the
second ballotings and on November at the
election for Councils General under pre-
upon.
REPUBLICAN CONSOLIDATION.
1t seems certain that Nj. Gambetta is siren.
uously endeavoring to unite all the factions
of the Left into o single group.
REPUBLICAN ESTIMATE.
note issued by a committee Of the Sena-
tors Of the Left estimates that after the re-
suit of the second balloting and the colonial
elections is known the republicans will have
1886 in the Chamber. The note also protests
against the revival OF the system Of official
canddatures in the late election.

OF the Chamber or Deputies has been repoited:--
