| Grafton.
| The bailoting began amid consider
able discussion between the senators
and deputies. No speeches were made.
The members of the national assem-
bly, deposited their ballots in the urn
and the tellers then took the urn to
the committee room, after which the
ltellers reported the result of the vote
to the president of the assembly.
whereupon M. Challemel-Lacour said:
m. Casimir-Perier having obtained
an absolute majority, 1 proclaim him
president of the French republic"
The following is the complete result
of the poll:
M. Casimir-Perier, 451; M. Brisson,
1911; NJ. Dupuy, 80; General Fevrier, So;
M. Arago, OF; scattering, 50. Total-S53.
In officially notifying NJ. Casimir-
! erier of his election, M. Lacour deliv-
cred an eloquent grafton, and in reply
NJ. Casimir-Perier said:
Il can scarcely restrain the emotion
I now feel. The national assembly be-
slows upon me the greatest honor a
/ citizen can ever receive by imposing
upon me the heaviest moral RESPONSE
bilities a man can bear I shall give
my country all that is in me of energy
and patriotism. I shall give the repub-
! lie all the warmth of my convictions,
which have never varied. I shall give
! the democracy all my devotion, all my
heart, as did he whose loss we now de-
Z! plore. Finally, I shall endeavor to do
all my duty
The new president received the con-
IgratulauonS of Premier Dupuy and the
cabinet ministers, and a large number
| OF senators and deputies in the room
set apart for the use of the cabinet.
Afterwards. he received the congratu-
lations of the correspondents of the va
rlous newspaper represented at Yer
sa1lles upon this occasion. Replying to
the newspaper men, NJ. Cas:mir-Perier
said:
Il have only one word to say. You
may discuss i'll belong to you But
never forget France and the Republic -
A little later, a four-horse landau,
the uanels inscribed "Consilo non i'm
petuio." drove into the court yard. M
CasinMr-Perier entered the vehicle and
started for Paris, escorted by detach-
ment of dragons armed with lances
from which bright penants were flying
in order to make his official entry in
the customary manner, and somewhat
after the style Of the kings of France

The new president received an ova-
ton from the dense crowd of people
which lined the road from Versailles to
Paris
Before the vote was taken NJ. Bau-
drey-D' Asson, a Monarchfst and Cler-
Ical1St, jumped upon chair and wav-
ing paper, declared he wanted to sub
NIT motion to revise the constitution.
NO attention was paid to him and the
ballot proceeded.
tremendous cheering also greeted the
announcement Of the result of the vote.
The socialists, however made vocifer-
Gus protests

representing one of the divisions of st.
Denis: NJ. Thivrier, the bIouse-wearing
deputy, and NJ. Carnaud. the dep11tv
who has the distinction of having form
erty been a school teacher, and other
socialists, shook their fists at the other
members OF the national assembly. at
the same time shouting:
'V1ve Ia revolution sociaIe;" "DoWn
with reaction" ETC., mingled with re-
peated "A bas Ia presidence
M. de Jeante, socialist, shouted out
violent protest against the refusal
or the congress to consider his motion
to abolish the presidency. His request
was greeted with loud socialist an
plause.
The radicals demanded the closure
amid scene of great uproar, during
Which M. Avezs continued shouting at
the top of his voice, ''All this is the re-
suit of a coalition of the reactionaries. -
M. Michelin, president of the munich
pal council of Paris, mounted the
tribune, and wanted to speak, but his
voice was drowned with loud cries of:
''Boulangist, Boulangist, has lie Boul-
angist.''
The socialist clamors were then
drowned by torrents of counter-cheer-
ing, and in a moment of compare tive
silence M. Challemel-Lacour ordered
the secretary to read the minutes of
the meeting and the session of the
national assembly was then closed with
cries of "Vive la republique."
The presidents cortege followed the
high road to the city and passed along
the Avenue des Champs Elysee.
AS the remains of Carnot are yet I'M
buried. the usual installat ton at the
tachment of police and Republican
guards lined the pavements about the
ministry Of foreign affairs.
A trl-colored 1lg was unfurled from
the central window of the building, as
the president approached he was greet
ed with shouts of Long live Casimir-
Perier,' Long live the republic
GeHefdl borluS, cnler OF CarnotS mill
tary household, who was in full uni
form, received the president at the en-
trance, while the other officials of Car
not's military household awaited him
at the top of the steps The ministers,
shortly after the presidents arrival
formerly rendered their designations to
him. Casimir-Perier requested them to
remain in Office.
1t is doubtful, however, whether
Dupuy, the prime minister. will retain
office. It is expected, in the event of
his insisting upon his resignation being
accepted, that the president will sumon
Berdeau to form cabinet. This will
enable Dupuy to hold his position as
president of the chamber of deputies.
WILL BE NO TROUBLE.
