On his return from prison in a fortress in Silesia he continued to defend the Bonapartist cause in ''Le Pays'', against both Republicans and Royalists. Elected deputy for the department of Gers in 1876 , he adopted in the chamber a policy of obstruction to discredit the republican régime. In 1877 he openly encouraged MacMahon to attempt a Bonapartist coup detat, but the marshals refusal and the death of the Prince Imperial foiled his hopes. He now played but a secondary rôle in the chamber, and occupied himself mostly with the direction of the journal ''L'Autorité'', which he had founded. He was not re-elected in 1902 , and died in November 1904 . His sons took over ''L'Autorité'' and the belligerent traditions of the family. REFERENCES |
