Sub-prefecture of ROANNE (Loire). 1870 "LE GOUVERNEMENT DE LA DÉFENSE NATIONALE (Ad. Crémieux, Al. Glais-Bizoin, L. Fourichon ) aux Électeurs". "Telegraphic dispatch, Circulaire de TOURS. ... Today we say: "We preserve the Republic, it is the only Government that can unite us in the face of the stranger who is defiling and devastating our soil" .... Yesterday's Republicans, tomorrow's Republicans by force of circumstance, friends of fallen dynasties, let us unite to call, within the municipal councils, the most enlightened, the most independent and the most determined to maintain the Republic, the pledge both of union between all and of the deliverance of our country." - Printed in Roanne, by Marion et Vignal, place de l'Hôtel de Ville.
