ported outright by three republi-
cans-Moore, of New Hampshire;
Lehblack, of New Jersey, and
EWart of North Carolina, and
enough refrained from voting to
elect DR.. MiIburn, who received l66

serious split in his party. The national COM

ton in leaving the country.
1t is reported that VI. Susini, NJ Laur and

editorship of the COCdrtle, the Boulangist paper.
He SAYS he is disguised with the secrecy main
tanned by General Boulanger. which tends to
ihislead the latter's friends.
VI. MichOlln contends that Boulanger should
have remained and faced even martvrtlUm.
The bonapartists approve the generals course,
while the royalists stigmatize his flight as an
act of cowardice.
Senator Naquet and Deputies Lasant and La
