The Republicans were victorious and gained an increased majority, which resulted in President Sadi Carnot inviting Jean Casimir-Perier to form a government. However, there was increasing tension between the Radicals and the Moderates in the ruling coalition, which had manifested itself in the passage of a protectionist tariff law with right-wing support in January 1892. After the elections, following the bombing of the Chamber of Deputies by the anarchist Auguste Vaillant on 9 December 1893, Casimir-Perier rushed through the lois scélérates with the support of the Right. Casimir-Perier was elected to the presidency on 24 June 1894, following the assassination of President Carnot by the Italian anarchist Sante Geronimo Caserio. In January 1895, however, he resigned, and was replaced by Félix Faure, again with the support of the Right. Casimir-Perier's government was followed by a series of moderate governments with right-wing support under Charles Dupuy, Alexandre Ribot and Jules Méline – with the short-lived exception of the government of Radical Léon Bourgeois (November 1895 – April 1896).Gildea, R., Children of the Revolution, London, 2008, pp. 270–272 Results 279 Opportunist Republicans 143 Independent Radicals 76 #375E8D 31 #D82319 27 Republicans 10 Radical Party (France) Moderate Republicans 3187670 279 Radicals 1443915 143 Conservatives 1178007 76 #1F497D Socialists 598206 31 #DE0000 Republicans 458416 27 Radical-Socialists 171810 10 Others 108596 0 178734 10443378 Nohlen & StöverDieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, pp690–703 978-3-8329-5609-7 References External links Map of Deputies elected in 1893 according to their group in the House, including overseas (in french) Category:Legislative elections in France Legislative France France
