FRENCH ELECTIONS.

hls, january ~ peVeuty-nN0
senators become liable to reelection
next year. OF these 43 are republi-
cans and 32 reactionaries. In conse-
quence Of the share which the munich
palities take in the senatorial elections,
the republicans have hoped, if they
were successful at the municipal
elections, very few retiring reactionary
senators would be able to return to
their seats. The republican successes
noted above are distinctly Gambetta' s
and anti-social. Even in Paris no
communist has been elected, although
several received large votes in the
districts where second ballots arc
necessary, of which there are about
twenty.
From the latest accounts, republi-
can success at the municipal elections
is assured in Lille Roubaix, Nantes,
Anglers, Alais, Nimens, Vannes,
Montabp- Dion, Nice, and most of the
largo towns. The republicans have
congratulatory articles on the result of
the election, which is considered to
have made apparent the breach be-
tween the republicans and irrecon-
cilable radicals.

Clemenceau, leader of the extreme
left in the chamber of deputies, was
