BOULANGER,S BAD EMINENCE.
His Success Regarded as q Serious
Blow At the stability OF the Republic.

Special Cable Dispatch to TIE EVENING SrAR
LONDON, April l6.-The return OF Boulanger by
so large majority Is considered on all hands q
serious blow to the stability OF the French re-
public. Even the radicals, who were disposed at
first to play him on against the Ferryites, are
alarmed at the commanding position he has
assumed. From what is known OF his character
he appears quite capable OF quietly disregarding
his declarations In favor OF the republic and OF
peace. Like Louis Napolean he denies that the
Due d'Aumale had anything TO do with his nomi-
nation as a general although forced afterward TO
admit It, owing TO the production OF letter In his
own handwriting. Again it Is well known that
while at Clermont he denied connection with
electoral maneuverS, although afterward con-
fronted with his own cipher kilograms. The Nori,
however, has always been opposed To the republic.
At the general election In 1855, the reactionarles
carried all the twenty seats Boulangers Increased
majority shows that he contrfved TO secure o
certain proportion OF the republican votes
