The Daily News says :\u2014The election of Boulanger it doe to the unpatriotic and an-sera pa loos condaot of the Ccnservetivee.It will be to the lasting discredit of the Comte de Parie that he adv^ed his followers to support Boulanger.Paris, Jan.28\u2014In oonseqaenoe of tbs victory of Gea.Bonlanger yesterday, the Ministry tendered their resignations this morning, bnt Présidant Carnot declined to accept them.The Repoblioan journals, while admitting that the election of Bonlanger is a serions reverse, declare it is not solfiaient to disogprage the party, which mast anite more closely against the threatened Csassrism, The Monarchist papers assert that the result of the election is a condemnation of the Parliamentary Republic and presages its downfall.The Bonlangist organs emphatically declare that the election is a blow to the Government.\t__ The Ftgarc says : At to-day\u2019s session of the Chamber of Deputies, M.Jooveoal, Radical, wil'qoestios the Government as to what measures it will adopt to cheok the spread of Boolangism.Premier Floquot will reply at length.\\ tSeveral arrests were made last eveniog bat no terioas outbreak occurred.(||An election was held yesterday to fill a vacancy in the Chamber of Deputies for the Department of the Cote D\u2019Or Barays.The Republican candidate received 25 545 votes, aod Proet, Radical, 22,783 ; 11,777 voces were east for Bonlanger.The Cabinet held a meeting this morning aod discussed the measorse to be adopted in the event of disorders sriaing.It is stated that a majority of the Ministers are in favor cf dissolving the Chambers aod holding a general election in April, and first modifying the electoral laws in order to prevent plebia-cilery proceedings.Some members of the Chamber of Deputies advocate strong anti-Bonlangist measures by the Government.They nrge that Gen.Campenon be asked to form a Cabinet.Preaideot Carnot held- a conference thii morning with many men prominent in political life.It is the Preeident\u2019e intention to oalmly await events and aocept all the responsibility the aitnation involves.He will not abandon the Preaidenoy until the expiration of bia term.Prime Miniater Floqaet baa decided to resign or to give any other action that the Chamber of Depnties may coo aider that the interest of the Republic demands.In Ministerial circles, it ia considered that the elsotioa of Bonlanger menace* the Republic, 90.000 and 150,000 Republicans having voted for him.One Minister in speakiog of the arnation, quoted the words of M.Thiera : \u2022\u2022 We should take everything seriously,nothing tragically.\u201d Various questions which it was proposed to sek the Government in the Chamber of Deputise to-day concerning the political situation, have been postponed until Thursday, Boulanger did not appear in the Chamber.The crowd outside increased as the afternoon wore on and became somewhat excited.A large number of policeman are in readiness to suppress any disordar that may arise.M.Floqaet, the Prime Minister, wss in the Chamber.His appearance was oareworn.Bonlanger has announoed bis intention to attend the session oi tbs Caamber of Deputies on Thursday.In an interview to-day, General Boulanger \u2022aid : \"Instead of the Government treating the election as an ordinary incident of politico] life, they made onfe that the Repnblio\u2019s fptare depended upon the result.If they bave dog their own grava I don\u2019t know what to do.Certainly I will not help them out of the mess, tfaongh I shall do nothing to give color to the charge of my wishing to make a distnrbance.I did not go to the Chamber today becs aie I did not desire a demonstration.I will show the people that the Government is the party of disorder, while I personate order.I shall wait and let the Government act, whatever they do ia oertain tc help me.They are blind.\u201d Boulanger is in splendid spirits and shows no sign of fatigue.He continues to receive all classes of people at his residenoe.The Temps does not attempt to ignore the importance of Boulanger\u2019s triumph, but it rejects the ides of the adoption of exoeptional measures by the Government or of rebelling against the popular verdict.Bonlanger, it says, will not try to oomspire against the Republic, simply because he has no need to do so.The electors, it believes, voted chiefly, not against the Republic, but against an incapable and impotent Chamber of Drpntiee.It says that the system of election known a« scrutin d\u2019arrondissement ought to be re-established, the budget for 1889 adopted and Parliament adjourn until October, when a (tenoral election will be held.In the meantime, it \u2022ays, the oonntry shonld oaoopy itself solely in endeavors to promote the success of the exhibition.lue groupe of the Right and the Boulan gists have decided to take no initiative, but to await the action of the majority.Premier Floqaet proposes to introduce in Parliament on Thursday an anti-plebisoite measure, and a bill to re-establish \u2019he scrutin
