Revelations Showing that Boulanger Ia Not
Built ON the Great-Man Plan.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
LONDON, March 28.-The translatation of
General Boulanger's cipher kilograms showing
him to have been connected with movements of
extremely questionable character leaves little
room for the Generals defense upon any
grounds. The kilograms show that he not only
gave orders to his election agents, but actually
convened committee meetings to nominate
himself in various departments. while at the
same time he was publicly denying any connec-
ton it'll his candidacy and disclaiming any de-
sire occupy seat in the Chamber of Deputies
or have his name used q candidate. In spite
of these disclosures, however. he has q large
following of who insist that he is the victim
of jealous persecution and many go so far as to
assert that the kilograms are not genuine.
General Boulauger has decided to withdraw
from the Laon contest, and to accept the candi
dacy for the Department OF Nord- He will
issue an electoral address Immediately. and will
make a personal canvass Tbs Nord election is
fixed for April Is. The General has addressed
the following letter to the Laor electors:
Sunday polling had purpose other than
tfat of election, 1t signiied the necessity of
unfolding the national dignity and the integrity
of French territory, and protest against the
state Of impotence into which Parliament and
the government have fallen, aud against the cal
umnies and injustice heaped upon republican
soldiers who never fought but in defense of their
country. III Is Tor the governments TO take Rc-
count of the lesson that has been given it.
Previously INELIGIBLE. and the respect
with which univ ersal suffrage inspires me for

patriots of Aisne, for your warm expressions of
sympathy, which have cheered me in the midst
of overwhelming vexations. I shall never for
get the 18th of March. Allow me to ask you to

able to fight for the honor OF the country and
