APPEAL FOR CONCORD.
6f'DsBdtes otreeEsfroh Chamber

PAEIs, Spccial-M. Floquct, president of
the chamber of deputies, delivered an al
dress to the chamber to-day. He declared
that lie would endeavor to sink all personal
predictions and assured the members of
the chamber the liberty ofthc tribune. All
France he said, had manifested n desire
that concord should prevail among our rep
rcscntativcs, and he therefore appealed to
all the forces of democracy to rally around
the Republicans. NJ. Tirard, the prime
minister, also addressed the chamber. lie
said:
Universal suffrage has finally been
crowned with triumph, the democracy, by
the recent elections, inviting all Frcnchmcn
to unite under the banner which the rcpub-
lie has raised above parties and which from
this day forward is above attack. France
has spoken. She has not only siglificd that
the institutions which she has founded but
she has resolved that the republic shall
mean stable government, securing order,
progress and respect at home and abroad.
Taught by recent experience, we think that
such government must not show weak.
ness nor remain tlisarmcd in struggling
with those who refuse to bow to the will OF
the majority, so often declared The cleo
tiOns have manifested above all else Frances
resolve to enter upon q definite era of
calm and labor. We therefore propose to
put aside questions irritating and divid-
ing mems minds and to direct our
whole attention to the solution of problems
of economy and social justice. In sub
lnitting these questions to your dclibcratinn
we furnish fresh proofs of the lincharging
sentiments aniniating republican France.
After the exposition, no one in the world
has right to entertain suspicion us to the
peaceful sentiments Of our country. While
laboring to complete our military organza-
ton, we affirm that our sole desire is an
honorable and digniiicd peace bctittin. a
great nation that is confident of its strength
and rights. Let us then labor together to
complete the organization ofthc democracy.
You have right to demand of us pcrscver
ing tirmness. We need your confidence.
In communicating to you our plans we ask
your corporation in the name of the re-
public.
NJ. Manjan, Radical, moved that urgency
be granted for the consideration OF the 4ucs-
ton of revision Of the constitution. NJ
Tirard appealed to the chamber to set aside
all such questions, which, he said, created
diversions among the Republicans. NJ.
Manjan's motion was then rejected by a
vote of 345 to 123. The announcement OF
this victory for the government was re-
cciycd with cheers. The senate to-day voted
the navy credit of 100000 francs, which
was passed by the last chamber Of deputies
too late for adoption by the senate.
