The Recent Elections Anything but Favor

| PARIS, October lowing to the number
| of Cabinet Ministers defeated at the cleo
/ lions on Sunday last for seats in the Cham
/ Der. it will be necessary for the Cabinet to
/ be remOdeled OF resign before the Chamber
meets. If the Radicals ally themselves
with the members of the right they can
overthrow ministry after ministry, leaving
France in permanent crisis which will
seriously ieOpardiZe the existence of the
Republic. The Conservatives who have
made extensive gains are the monarchists
of one faction or another. Some of them
are alherents of the COmte de Paris; others
of the BOnaparte family. They would Ike
to see a monarchical government restored
in France. The Republicans or MOderates
are the supporters of the present Ministry
with BriSsOn and De FTeycinet as the rep
resentative leaders. They are likewise
partisans of VI. Jules Ferry who was
formerly Prime Minister. The Radicals
look TO Clemenceau as their leader. They
are as eager as the MOnarchiStS for the
overthrow of the Republic but only that
they may give the Government more radi-
cal leanings. The Republicans wish to
maintain a parliamentary form of govern
ment, but the Radicals wish to abolish the
Senate and substitute in place of the
chambers as at present cOnst tuted some
body like the old convention of 1888. The
loss of seats by the Republicans will lead
to a reconstruction of the present ministry.
1t seems doubtful at this time whether the
ministry can gather about it a working
-, ,~,I,p =.
servers in fact believe that the new Cabi-
net will be short lived: that no ministry
can be patched that will long command
support and that consequently there will
be another dissolution and another
general election in the near future. MN.
Manager, Waldeck Rousseau, Legrande
and Herault, who were defeated ia the
election, have resigned their seats in the
Cabinet. Disorders were renewed last
evening. Fully 1000 persons assembled in
front of the GuIlOis Office shouting. ''Niye
Ia Republique," "A has lie GdUiOis" Bands
of youths paraded the streets, crying the
Marseillaise and waving tri-cOlOrs. The
police finally succeeded in dispensing the
mob. being aided by Il heavy rain. 1t is
rumOred that ROyalist successes will insure
the expulsion of the Orleanst Princes and
others. 1t is expected that a provisional
ministry will be formed including VI. Gle
menceau and VI. FiOquet. The number OF
Conservatives elected is 1873. 1t is believed
that the second ballOting will raise the
number of Conservatives to 21O. NJ. Roche
fort argues that the Republican defeat is
due to the Tonquin expedition and that it
is, therefore, necessary to guillOtine Ferry
the first thing. The Republican newspapers
generally are disposed to make a scapegOat
of Ferry.
