GAMBETris CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY
IHE RESIGNATION OF BOTH PRESIDENT AND
CABINET PROBABLE.
LONDON, Wednesday, Jan. 90, 1879.
dispatch to The Standard from Paris says in the
event of President MacMahOn's resignation VI. Gam
beta will favor the candidacy Of General ChanZy
or Admiral Pothuan for the Presidency.
The 7mcSs Paris correspondent tecgraphs that
the forthcoming motion for the impeach-
mcnt of the Ministry of the 10th of May is
the work of Gambeta, who, after the vote
of confidence. said he preparing plenty
of surprises for the Cabinet. IL the motion
is passed. as it is certain to be the present state
of parties, both the Cabinet and President Mac
Mahon will resign. The private residence of the
Marshal has been in readiness for occupation
since Monday. The correspondent believes the
Cabinet might obtain q majority on this
question ifit accepted two or three members of the
pure Left as colleagues and adds that a reconstruc-
tion of the Cabinet is the only means of avoiding
disruption Of the Executive and general panic.
Gambctta counts upon VI. GrGvy to replace Mac
Mahon, but il is doubtful whether GrGyy would be
an accOmplice in the intrigue.
This correspondents information concerning the
newer complication relative TO the military com
mands is apparently not so late as that about the
Ministers and conference already cabled. lie be-
licves compromise il probable.
