IN THE AscENDAST-sPECULA-
TroNs on THE MEETING or THE CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES ANB FUTURE ELECTIONS.
LONDON. October IA special dispatch
from Paris to the Times says that country
has spoken very clearly. After five months
of unheard of pressure not more than forty
seats have been gained by the Government,
and these chieay through local influence,
such as elections, and the Republicans have
been made compact and stronger by the mis-
sion given them by France. They have q
majority of 1sf. There is not Chamber
in Europe containing such majority.
People are amazed when they consider the
resolution and energy the electors must have
had to bring about such a result,
despite the pressure, which, according to
competent witness, did rs much in their
canvass as the empire did in twenty years.
What the Government will do confronted
by such an overwhelming result no one
knows yet, but they seem decided on again
using their formidable administrative ma
chine to influence the election OF the fifteen
hundred conseillers d'arrondissement and
conseillers generauX, fixed for the 4th OF
Novcmber-that is to say, three days be-
fore the meeting OF the Chamber. IL
was TO manage these elections that
the crime of the 10th OF May was
committed. They are Of enormous inn
portance. The conseillers generaux and
and consellers d'arrondissement, together
with delegates OF the municipalities, are the
electors OF the Senate, and as third OF the
Senate retires early in 1879, if that election
returned Republican majority the Monar-
chial parties would deem themselves lost
forever. Therefore the present Cabinet Is
going to make a fresh and gigantic effort II
it remains in power till the 9Th OF Novem-
Der. At any rate, that is all that can be
predicted. 1t may resign on the 9Th or 9Th.
A Reuter- telegram from Paris has the
following: An official communicate has
been issued which contradicts the rumors
OF the resignation OF the ministers. 1t
points out that for present ut least the min
listers must necessarily remain in office. A
note issued by 4 committee OF senators OF
the Left estimates that after the result OF
the second balloting and the colonial cleo
tiors is known the Republicans will have
three hundred ana thirty-fve in the Cham
Der. The note also protests against the re-
viva of the system Of official candidaturcs
in the late election.
4 FURTHER DENIAL.
LONDON, October IA Reuters Paris
dispatch contains the following: A further
denial is given to the statement that the
ministers intend to resign. 1t is added that
the ministers have not for one single mo-
ment entertained the idea Of resignins any
more than the president has thought OF
separating himself from them. Minister
Fourtour, in receiving the projects to-day,
explained to them in the name OF the Gov
eminent the electoral struggle which BAD
gained fifty seats for the Conservatives
would continue on October 18th at the sec
ond ballotngs, and on November 4th at the
elections for. Councls-Genera, under pre-.
ciscly the same conditions as 1t was entered
upon. It seems certain that NJ. Gambetta is
strenuously endeayoring to unite all the fac
tons OF the Left into single group.
