hostile groups, the Socialist Radicals
and the Democratic Left, had decided
to vote in favor of the Government. and
that NJ. Paul de Cassaignac had with
drawn his Interpolation.
Identical statements were read in
the Chamber of Deputies by the Pre-
mier, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau. and in the
Senate by the Minister of Justice, M
Monis They were as follows:
The Chamber of Deputies in ex-
pressing itself resolved not to support
any government but one determined to
defend energetically republican institu-
tions and assure public order, has
clearly defined the task imposed upon
the new Cabinet. The Ministry has no
other ambition than to accomplish it.
In order TO bring about the pacifica-
tion of the country and to maintain
intact our common inheritance, it
seemed to us that existing delusions
should be effaced and that the work
we are about to undertake required the
co-operat ton of all Republicans. When
the aim is definite, though varying ac-
cording to the methods of different
schools, accord becomes easier and con-
troversies are lost in the presence of
one duty to perform. To end the agi-
tations pursued under DISCUSSES easy to
penetrate, against the regime which
has been sanctioned and will be upheld
by universal suffrage and to require
from all the services, loyal assistance
and cOura geous assumption of respon-
sibility-suCh is necessarily the first
duty of the Government 1t is resolved
to have all judicial decisions respected,
and If the first wish of the country is
to listen to the voice of justice it will
maintain silence and respect while it's
decisions are prepared.
In the front rank of the important
interests of the country, bound up with
the conservation Of the dignity of the
nation, we place the interests of the
army, which the Republic has con-
structed on a stronger and wider basis,
and which Is synonymous with the
Republics security and is the pride of
France We think, with the armys most
illustrious and surest guides. that in
violable attachment to discipline is the
first and essential guarantee of the
army's own greatness. We intend to
defend it with the same energy against
the attacks and solicitations which
constitute the most undeserved of in
suits.
I'VE desire, above all, that appease-
ment may be accomplished, and 1t will
come quickly II every one VIII give up

devolved upon us. we have need of the
co-operation of Parliament and its
whole confidence. We ask the widest

ritating discussions. hurtful to the in
terests of the country, and that you will
vote without delay law necessary to
the good working of the public
services. If our efforts are not sterile,
disunion among Republicans will van
ish and the Republic will soon resume
the path of economic and social
progress.
M. Waldeck Rousseau accepted an
order of the day, moved by M. Jules
Perillier, Radical Socialist, reading as
follows: "The Chamber approving the
declarations and acts of the Gov
ernment passes to the order of the
day"
Ernest Roche, Socialist, interpellated
the Government regarding the policy
and composition of the Ministry. He
declared 1t was a government of war,
and violently attacked the Minister of
War. General Marquis de Galifet.
