was reelected, always for the district of

a long time. Finally, however, he was
persuaded to organize a Cabinet, and took
the portfolio of foreign affairs.
AS Premier, NJ. Casimir-Perier developed
considerable strength, but an unexpected
side issue suddenly overthrow his Ministry,
and the impression gained ground that he
had ridden flor a fair in view of the fact
that NJ. Carnot's term of Office as President
| of the republic was approaching an end and
the name of Casimir- Perier being strongly
brought forward as a candidate for the
| presidency.
The premiership. was then assumed by
! NJ. Dupuy, who had succeeded him as

lay his plans to succeed NJ. Carnot. Being
a rich man. and of aristocratic family, he

strength politically increased every day with
the result that when President Carnot was
assassinated he was practically the only
president.a al candidate in the field.
AS President. NJ. Casimir-Perier carried
out the line of policy which had marked his
previous career in public. He stood for the
republic against Socialists AMI Anarchists.
