Vous avez devant vous le grand inconnu de la nouvelle loi electorale; dangereux, parce que l'omnipotence de la Chambre des Communes, favorable au gouvernement parlementaire lorsque cette Chambre se recrutait exclusivement dans la haute classe et en avait l'esprit, pourra etre un instrument redoutable pour la liberte et pour toute l'organisation sociale le jour ou MM.
