THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
A Republican Majority Believed to be
Assured.

PARIS, Sept 23.-Official returns have thus
far been received from 536 divisions, of which
the republicans have carried 217 and
the revlsionists 153. In the remaining 166
there has been no choice and reballoting will
be necessary. Among the prominent republicans
elected are MN. Faillieres, Ribol, Jules, Roche,
Granet, Develle, Deschanelle, Barbe, Sarrien
and Reinach. The opposition have elected
MN. DeCasagnac, Lalon, Fould, Haussmann,
Godelle, Lanjuinais and Count Albert DeMun.
In l27 OF the districts to be recontested
the result Of the second ballot will probably be
favorable to the republicans and in the remain
ing thirty-nine the opposition candidates are
likely to be successful This estimate is made
by the republicans themselves. The republi-
cans also rely upon their ability to secure ten
colonial seats and thus hold three hundred and
ffty-six seats in the new chamber.
Everybody in official circles appears to be-
heve that republican majority is assured,
which, though not large, will be more compact
and more homogeneous than the government
majority in the last chamber.
THE ELECTIONS IN PARIS AND ITS SUBURBS
have been almost barren of results, there hav.
ing been but five candidates elected for the
forty-two seats contested. OF the success
full candidates the Boulangists elected
four and the republicans one. In the
remaining thirty-seven divisions supplement-
o"iASeo "Ai pt utCebsdTy. nj. 1neYenet,
minister Of justice, is elected. Nm Coustans,
minister OF the interior, and Yves-Guyot, min
lister OF public works, failed to obtain plurali-
ties In their respective divisions and a
reballot Will be necessary, but their
election is now regarded as certain
Ihe republicans are defeated in the constituent
cles contested on behalf Of the government by
Nm. Milude, Ferry, Goblet, Maillard and Jou-
bert, while Mn. Mllleraud, Bassy, Lockroy, Flou-
quet and Baroda and the opposition candi-
dates, Andriex, Laisant, Vergoin, Laur. De-
suslnl and Naquet, will be compelled to submit
to supplementary ballots. Count Dillon, Bou-
langist, is elected.
The latest returns show the election of 2I9
republicans and I56 conservatives and Boulan-
glsts and the necessity for 40 supplementary
ballots. The election of Count Dillon and MN.
Mackan and Freppel is confirmed
Boulangists Get Crushing Defeat.
LONDON, Sept. 23---he Paris correspondent
OF the Times says the elections in France yes
terday resulted in a crushing defeat to the Bou-
langists who returned only twenty-one members
and whose entire representation in the new
chamber after the reballotng will not exceed So
members. The conservatives elected l3l mem
bers and will get 80 more. The republicans
returned 2lS and will secure over 100 more, max
Ing their total strength in the chamber be-
tween 325 and 800, against 220 or $50 repre-
sentlng the whole reactionary Boulangist coali-
ton. The success Of the republicans and the
defeat OF the monarchy and Cesarism is a
happy fact. The result Of the elections puts an
end TO the Boulangist-monarchist conspiracy.
