During last night there was much excite
ment and considerable disorder throughout
the city. Many brawls and street fights
occurred, which, in some cases, were very
serious. The disorder was particularly
great in ths vicinity of Montmartro
and the Faubourg Temple, where
quite large number of persons
were wounded. The morning opened bright
and fair, and the streets were thronged at
an early hour. The electors were very
active, and all INDUCED in predicting the
nearest figure to the actual vote shown by
the returns. The Boulangists were alert,
and displayed surprising confidence
throughout. The workingman's vote, upon
which the issue depended, was manly cast
for Boulanger. The newspapers displayed
unprecedented energy in their arrange
ments for securing returns.
The most remarkable phase of the elec-
tion was the perfect discipline of the
Boulangists. which affords another ex-
ample of Boulanger's wonderful skill as an
organizer Each of the 3,3 polling places
in the department was guarded by men,
bcrs OF the Patriotic League, who worked
like beavers throughout the day, and the
outcome attests the faithfulness of their
work. The Boulangsts confident of sue
cess, had arranged for an immense banquet
at the Cafe Durand to celebrate their
victory as soon as the result should be
known. At 10 o'clock the approaches
to the cafe were lined with troops,
and the basement of the Madelaine
was filled with soldiers in readi-
ness to pOunce upon the crowd in
the event of row. The banquet took place,
however, without the attendance of any
unusual disturbance. When the announce
ment was made that Boulanger had prob
ably received a majority of 100000, the OPP
ponents of Boulangerism were duwh,>
founded. The police, military and other
officials Immediately made preparations to
suppress any disorder that might grow out
of the ebullitions of the followers of tho
doughty General or the discontinue of his
adversaries, and for awhile the excitement
was intense, though it was manifested
chiefly in noisy rather than physical de-
mOnstration.
