elected mayor of Paris by 11,881 votes.--Journal de Paris, number
185. Henriot, July 2, 1793, is elected commander-in-chief of the Paris
national guard, by 9,084, against 6,095 votes given for his competitor,
Raffet. The national guard comprises at this time 110,000 registered
members, besides 10,000 gendarmes and federates. Many of Henriot's
partisans, again, voted twice. (Cf. on the elections and the number of
Jacobins at Paris, chapters XI. and XII. of this volume.)]

representatives) were supported by only, the smallest minority. Baudot,
for instance, at Toulouse, in 1793, had but 400 men for him."]

[Footnote 1250: Malouet, II. 241. "I knew a clerk in one of the bureaus,
who, during these sad days, September, 1792), never missed going. as
usual, to copy and add up his registers. Ministerial correspondence
with the armies and the provinces followed its regular course in regular
