Debate on official candidates in the Legislative Body
At Wednesday's sitting officials and non officials were debated. M Chevandier de Valdrome declared Parliament government implied no official candidates but would show who its friends and enemies were. M Grevy argued there is no difference between official candidates and government recommended candidates. Emile Ollivier affirmed government neutrality but would share its hopes. Thursday renewed discussion saw Ernest Picard propose banning government favored candidates and restrict voting papers distribution by communal agents. The chamber resumed the interpellation on official candidates as Arago refuted 1848 Lyons charges. Ollivier and Cassagnac clashed while Ollivier reaffirmed no electoral interference and vowed neutral government. The session ended amid cheers and rising tension.
