the vacancy in the Chamber Of Deputies from the
Department of the Dordogne General Boulanger

The result was unexpected and has increased the
uncasiness Of the Conservatives, who declare that
the Boulangist movement is a public dangcrand
urgent measures are demanded to check it.
The Bonapartists assert that the result proves
that the country demands the dissolution Of the

for the Department OF the Dordogne, but his
friends forwarded his candidacy. The General
has written letter to an elector Of Dordogne in
which after expressing thanks for his election
by the people Of the department, he says:
Every one will perceive that it is no question
here of any one man, but Of the countrys uGnly'
and in the future il will be known that Dordogne
is not disposed to allow itself to be conhscated
by Parliament whose sterility and Importance
would end by making the Republic the mock Oh
Europe Your vote confirmed the necessity of a
dissolution Of Parliament and revision of the
Constitution. Universal suffrage is our master
II is intolerahe that discredted politicians should
presume TO make il their servant. lhe ehect
produced by the election is immense. dld not
solicit your suffrage. / have accepted the can
didacy for the North. On Sunday next the votes
of the North will be added to yours in fresh
and significant protest in favor Of National
Republican policy The hour has come when all
Frenchmen without distinction should unitcdly
pursue one sole idea, one sole aim-the greatness
Of their country"
No candidate in the Aude district obtained an
absolute majority in the elections yesterday and
another ballot will be necessary Nj. FerrOui
Qiadical who stood at the head Of the poll is
pledged to demand the restoration of General
Boulanger to the active army list.
