FAURE NOT A PROTESTANT.
While the voting was in progress the
friends of Faure were actively canvassing
for votes, and with apparent success, until
a rumor was started that he was a Protes-
tant. This for a time had a bad effect on
his candidacy, but a deputation instantly
approached Faure and questioned him.
Faure, who was greatly excited, said, in
reply to a question on the subject: NC 1

creased vigor in the effort to secure addi-
tional votes for their candidate.

group of excited Deputies. He explained
to them that he had voted for Brisson as
the Socialists wanted an armistice and were
