ity, 81, 432.
The most remarkable phase of the cleo
ton was the perfect discipline OF the Bou-
langists, which affords another example
Of Bouianger's wonderful skill as an or
ganizer. Each of the 3I3 polling places in
the department was guarded by members
OF the Patriotic League, who worked like
beavers throughout the day, and the out
come attests the laithfulness of their work.

basement Boulanger polled three times as
many votes as his opponent, and this an

members Of the Government were aston

During Saturday night there was much
excitement and considerable disorder
throughout the city. Many brawls and
street fights occurred, which in some
cases were very serious. The dis.
order was particularly great in the
vicinity of Montmartre and the Fau-
bourg au Temple. where quite a large
number of persons were wounded. AT
several electoral meetings there were
scenes of great disorder and bands of men
and lads singing the Marseilaise and Bou.
langist songs paraded the boulevards un.

lique and the Place de l'Opera open air
meetings were held. Great masses OF
people were present, but the proceedings
were on the whole fairly orderly, although
a few individual brawls occurred and a
number Of persons were arrested.
The Boulangists predict tho immediate
fall of the Floquet Ministry, the dissolution
of Parliament and general election in
March. They also forecast rupture in
Radical ranks and express the belief that
forty Radical Deputies will join the
Boulangist party, and thus give the Gem
eral a following of sixty members in the
present Chamber.

sured, and in view of the difficulty which
naturally must be encountered in bringing
together a stable Cabinet-a task which
now seems almost impossible--the likeli-

very great.
Boulanger spent the evening at the Cafe
Durand, where he was informed by friends
Of the results in the divisions. The streets
were thronged with people excitedly dis
cussing the upshot of the election and the
newspaper offices displayed the returns by
means of illuminated placards. The po-
lice did not interfere with 10000 persons
