Full Text
The Tribune's Paris cable dispatch says: Paris gives on the vote for the plebiscitum nominally 5,000 negative majority, but counting abstentions it is really 130,000. Rochefort's district alone, following his counsel to abstain, gives 5,000 yes, 16,000 no, and 20,000 abstentions. The cities of the second class vote no with scarcely an exception.
The Emperor expected that at least 8,000,000 would vote yes, as they did in 1852. There are 1,000,000 more electors, but the number voting yes is 600,000 smaller, while the number voting no is 12,000 greater. The whole vote is:
Yes, 7,257,379
No, 1,530,909
Blank, 10,990
Abstentions, 12,000
Not reported, 70,000
