stated openly in the club that if people followed the law they would
never accomplish anything to be remembered." He was elected member of
the department directory.--A third, Fournier, "wrote that the gifts
which citizens made to save their lives were voluntary gifts." He is
made a department councilor. "Peaceable citizens are storing their
furniture in safe places in order to take to flight... There is no
security in France; the epithet of aristocrat, of Feuillant, of moderate
affixed to the most honest citizen's name is enough to make him an
object of spoliation and to expose him to losing his life... I insist
on regarding the false idea which is current in relation to popular
sovereignty as the principal cause of the existing anarchy."]

history of the elections 'of Saint-Affrique: out of more than 600
registered electors the mayor and syndic-attorney are elected by forty
votes.--The plebiscite of September, 1795, on the constitution of the
year III. calls out only 958,000 voters. Repugnance to voting still
exists. "Ninety times out of a hundred, on asking: 'Citizen, how did the
Electoral Assembly of your canton go off?' they would reply (in patois):
'Me, citizen? why should I go there? They have a good deal of trouble
in getting along together.' Or, 'What would you? Only a few will come;
honest people will stay at home!'" (Meissner, "Voyage a Paris," towards
the end of 1795.)]

falsified the count so that 99% now voted for him and his men. (SR).]
