: to control the ministry himself. while the
strong men in the cabinet he would place in
subordinate petitions. Such a combination
would doubtless work well if the “strong
men" could be induced to submit to M. Car-
;ot‘s domination; but this moms to be fun

harmoniaing of the Republican groups. and

depended on the intellectual action of the
