rested at midnight for making q violent
Republican speech, bail was refused,
though 1t was forthcoming to any
amount, and the prisoner was closely
watched, not even being allowed per-
mission tn read the newspapers. Mean
while the Ministry of the Interior and
other departments are raining secret
orders on the authorities throughout the
country. There was issued an cdict from
the Department OF Justice which in ef-
feet ordered all tavern keepers and peo-
pie of similar occupation, under peu-
atty of having their establishments sum.
marily closed, to see that their guests
and customers praised the De Broglie ad-
ministration and remained discreetly ST.
lent. Such are some of the measures re-
sorted to by the Government to prevent
organization among Republicans, and to
force defeat on them. Such things
could not be done here.
Yet with all this, the Republicans ex.
pect to elect q majority-or in round
numbers 400 members to the new Cham
Der OF Deputies. Gambetta, Theirs, and
others popular and eminent, lead the
Republican forces. It is fair to presume,
from their familiarity with politics in
France, that their judgment will prove
reliable. Were it not so, the formidable
preparations being made by the Ministry,
and their desperate suppressive measures,
would indicate that Republication will
be overcome. 1t is to be borne in mind,
also, that the power of the priesthood in
the rural provinces is very great; aud
that in Brittany, and various outlying
provinces, the vote will be almost s0lidly
directed by the priesthood. The Repub-
lean strength Is chiefly in the cities.
Here the repressive influence of the Gov.
ernment will be most strongly put forth.
Thus the Republicans have fearful odds
to contend against. But, on the other
hand, all these oppressive measures only
serve to rouse them to more determined
exertiOns, and, thus, they may augment
their strength. Probably the most Sc
riOus danger before them is that they
will be cheated at the polls or in the
subsequent count. Those managing the
Governments interests were with Napo-
leon when the great plebiscite occurred,
when the nation was made to declare
strongly for the Empire. Perhaps q
more corrupt election never was known.
The expenditure Of money was enormous,
and the cheating simply stupendous. At
all events the battle is now to be fought,
and there can be no yielding on either
si'le. The Republicans deserve the SYM
patty of the American people. They
are struggling against fearful odds. but are
brave and determined. They are accus-
toned to such odds, and have won before
in the face of just such hostility. For
the good of France, and the benefit of
Republicsnism in Europe, we hope they
may have victory again.-Pittsbsryh
