Paris, Dec. 90 President Loubet in
augurated to-day in the Foubourge st.
Anne a statue to the memory of Depu-
ty Charles Baudin, representative OF
the people who was killed in the bar
ricade on the Faubourge st. Antoine,
Dec g. 1851. the day following the coup
d'etat of Louis Napoleon.
Baudin was memorable for the reply
he gave to the workman who refused
to defend the barricade. To this man
Baudin said
You will see how a representative
OF the people can die for twenty-five
francs a day"
He then mounted the barricade. The
soldiers fired a voley and Baudin fell
dead.
There was considerable apprehen-
sion of disturbances at to-day's in
auguration. owing to the insistence of
the Nationalist president of the Mu-
nicipal Council of Paris, NJ. Dausset,
that he be permitted to deliver a
speech at the Inauguration. although
he was not included in the official
list of speakers. The ceremony had
already been once postponed on ac-
count of the attitude of Nj. Dausset.
The Socialists planned y counter
! demonstration 20 the unveiling to-day.
They gathered IN the Faubourge, wear
ing red flowers in their buttonholes
as party emblem. Owing to the
strong precautions taken by the police,
however, no serious disturbance oc-
Cured, although M. Dausset and
some of his colleagues of the muni-
/ cipal council had a narrow escape
| from rough handling. There were
several slight conflicts between Ma
tionalists and Socialists.
All the French ministers were pres
ent at the unveiling of the statue
/ President Loubet, M. Fallieres, presi'
| dent of the Senate: Paul Deschanel
4 president of the Chamber of Deputies
| and NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, the prem
Ter, made speeches in which they eulo-
gized the resistance offered by Baudin
and his colleagues to the coup d'etat
holding them up as an example for the
| future.
Loubet EulOgizes the Hero.
| President Loubet said he desired to
/ associate himself publicly to the giori-
fication of this victim of devotion to
| the republic against which the chief
executive had committed such an
odious outrage. He said he himself had
accepted conscientious engagements
before the national assembly which h
would never violate and that any Cae-
sarian enterprise would fail in face OF
| the vigilance of the government and
the union of the republicans. This de-
claration ELECTED cheers from the as
semblage and cries of 'Vive Loubet"
and "Vive la republique!'
The official party was driving away
when NJ. Dausset, surrounded by his
| friends, approached the statue and de-
! livered a short grafton in which he said
that he took over the statue in the
| name of the city of Paris. His words
were drowned by outcries from the So
cialists M. Dausset had to be escort
| ed by the police back to the town hall
| He progressed amid shouts and coun-
ter-shouts of Down with Daussetl'
Down with the Nationalistsl" while
the Nationalists sang the "Carmag-
| MOLE"
! Many persons were arrested, but
were subsequently released.
