ism. predicts that when Parliament meets on
October -. "a clean sweep will be made OF the
abominable republican presidential trinity, the
President of the Republic, the President or the

were the points demanded. Within twenty-four
hours at the principal railway functions the sta
tons were occupied by detachments OF infantry
and cavalry The movement admirably
executed and involved the displacing OF over
