outsider could enter save through the
narrow door of co-option, when some
member died and the survivors chose
his successor.

for reform was started, the aristo-

Only three out of thirty-five coun-
cillors voted against the convocation
OF the long dormant arengo, and the
latter decided that thenceforth the
council should be elected by direct
manhood suffrage. and that one-third
of Its members should retire by ro-
