n. kcnault's speech. ''i1e sotution VI tn
conflict" be said, "wonld nave been Ve1
! simple. Had the electors declared the polc
OF the Cabinet right, the dissolution "oulo nav
been, not only legal, but just anu reasonaole:.
II. Jules Ferry, who said he flad lssteheu u
II. dc Fourtou with more sadness than ltlu!99
nation, declared the retention OF otilce ey th'
Cabinet an insult to the country anu an ontra55
on common sense. Nothing had rcmained lo
it to do but to turn to France, on which 1t hae
pressed its heel for six months. and say, ~ !;
you who are the opprcssor." The Cabinet wa
plasiarist Of the Empire; but the Empire
addressed au cnslavcd country: whereas tht
present Ministry addressed free Chamber
| and country, which comprehcndcd tue disgrace
Of the official candidate system. It would oe
an insult to the Republicans to defend them
against tile grotesquc i1npl1tation Of cocrcng
the electors. It was their glory to have been
| excluded, even the most moderate or them,
from IN official list OF caudqutes, the success OF
| which would hare substituted u. kouher iof
! the Due dc Brogltc. The adversarics Of the
Republicans were impacable enemies of De-
I nlucracy and universal suffrage, ana their DO
lnestic annoyances could only lead France G, into
Z position unparalleled since Sedan. lhefe
could only be Republican majority or cleri,
| cal nnd Monarchist majority. The latter woultt
| entttle the foreigner to consider his interests
| mennccd. Germany and Italy, If, indecd they
| had not concluded an alliance against such L
result, had certainly provided against Il Clerical
victory.
Here the Due Dccazes protested against such
III assertion; but ". Ferry adhered to it, aud
he proceeded to Justify the proposed inyestigl-
tiorl, observing thut the Times had described 1t
as conceived in strictly parliamentary spirit.
in England the House Of Commons did not de-
eide contested ELECTIONS. but N[, Ferry replied
that this did not affect the rfrht OF iiiycstiga-
ton lie denied the force of II. dc Fourtou's
prcccCents, renarkiup that they only showed
the difference between q regular Government
aud a Government of adventure: and he twittcd
