After dcpositing their first Ballots the
deputies assembled in the Gallerie de
Bustes, which was very crowded. NJ. Del
liton, editor of La Justice, was the center
of an excited throng of deputies who were
vehemently protesting against the absence
of NJ. Mirman. NJ Richard, among
others, shouted; "This election is Illegal"
NJ. Jaures was also the center of group
of excited deputies. He explained to them
that he had voted for NJ. Brisson, as the
Socialists wanted an armistice and were
desirous of proving that their party was
one of organization and work.
Socialists viii still Oppose the Government
From the conversation of the deputies
in the Gallerio dc Bustes it was gatheged
| that if NJ. Brisson was not elected the so
cialists would at once recommence their
| struggle against the government.
Shortly before the senators and deputies
reassembled for the second ballot it was
announced that NJ Waldeck- Rousseau
had retired in favor of NJ. Felix Faure.
The casting # the second ballot began
at 4:4Op. IN. and proceeded with less tur-
| bulence. NJ. Mirmans uame upon this
occasion, was called without protests from
the Socialist deputies. 1t became known
during the progress of the second baiioting
| that the Allemanists had come to de-
cision to vote for NJ. Brisson.
| AT 7:15 p. III. NJ. Challemel-LaCOur as
cended the presidential tribune, and when
the hubbub had subsidized he announced
that the result of the ballot was NJ. Felix
Faure, 43O; M. Henri Brisson, 36l.
All of the members of the right imme-
diately burst into cheers, and the Socialists
rose and shouted: Down with the rogues;
down with thieves; away with them; send
them to Mazas prison"
The members of the right replied with
cries of Down with the commune"
M. Coutant Socialist, retorted with;
'Down with reaction"
The Announcement of Faure's Election
An indescribable tumult followed, but
finally M. Challemel- Lecour was able to
make himself heard, and he declared NJ.
Felix Faure elected president of the French
republic. Thereupon the extreme left and
the Socialists again rose and sent forth a
tremendous united shout of: "Vive Bris-
son, vive Brisson,"
This shouting upon the part of the adj
herents of the president of the chamber of
deputies lasted for a couple of minutes
Nevertheless, NJ. Challemel- Lacour pur-
sued the usual parliamentary course and
had the minutes read while the Socialists
continued their protests against the cleo
tion of NJ. Felix Faure.
NJ de Baudry d Asson, the irrepressible
Monarchist, watching his opportunity,
mounted the tribune and cried; II sub
mitted at the opening of this congress the
| fnl1 inr iSt
presidency of the republic is abolished.
r The president of this congress refused me
hearing"

terposed protest against the exclusion OF
e NM. Mirman and Gerault- Richard from
f the national assembly and NJ. Michelin

= tion, but find it to be quite the contrary.
g To the applause of the Socialists the
/ members of the right replied with strong
It protest and heated invectives were ex

d NJ Mchelin while this wordy war was
r in progress, succeeded in saying: "If you
b, refuse to grant Il revision of the constitu
n tion the country will enforce it,"
r The Sitting Declared Closed.
y Thereupon NJ. Challemel- Lacour seizeC
% the opportunity, before anybody had TIM
u to speak, and said rapidly: "As nobod!
10 asks for a hearing the sitting is closed"

q and shouted loudly: "Vive la revolution
y sociale." But as the other members o
