MACMAHON 1A4 W.

The third republic of France dates
from Sept. 4, 1870, Immediately after
the downfall of Napoleon III, at the
close of his disastrous war with Ger
many. Louis Adolphe Theirs was elect
ed president Aug. 81, 1871, served as
chief executive but two years, three
months and seven days and resigned
May "a, 1878. Previous to his election
he had been known as constitutional
monarchist and an advocate of the pre-
tensions of the house of Orleans, and
when in 1912 he declared himself in
favor of the republic as the form of gov
eminent acceptable to the majority of
the people the monarchial parties COM
bined against him, and under pressure
of an adverse vote of the assembly he
resigned.
On May "A, 1878, Marie Edme Pa
trice Maurice MacMahon, marshal of
France under Napoleon III, was chosen
president through the influence of the
monarchists and held his post five years,
eight months and six days. MacMahon
was inclined to Bonapartism and hated
radicalism. 1t was not long before his
only supporters were the monarchists
and clericals and his dismissal of Pre-
mier Jules Simon and the enmity of
the mighty Gambetta fastened his
downfall Gambetta declared in a
speech that MacMahon must 'tquit or
SUBMIT and on Jan. 80, 1879, rather
than sign bill forcing into retirement
some of his old comrades, the president
stepped down.
Francois P Jules Grevy was elected
president Jan. so, 1879, and was re-
elected in 1885 and remained in power
seven years, ten months and three days.
The discovery that his son-inlaw, M.
Wilson, and the police had suppressed
and falsified judicial evidence, and
Grevy's support of this corruption, led
to an overwhelming popular demand for
his resignation. Grevy, however, chung
to the presidency like leech. Several
