THOMAS (1828—1896) , See also:French states-See also:man, was See also:born at St See also:Jean-Pied-de-See also:Port (Basses-See also:Pyrenees) on the 2nd of See also:October 1828. He studied See also:law in See also:Paris, and was called to the See also:bar in 1851. The coup d'etat of that See also:year aroused the strenuous opposition of Floquet, who had, while yet a student, given See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of his republican sympathies by taking See also:part in the fighting of 1848. He made his name by his brilliant and fearless attacks on the See also:government in a See also:series of See also:political trials, and at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time contributed to the Temps and other influential See also:journals. When the See also:tsar See also:Alexander II. visited the Palais de See also:Justice in 1867, Floquet was said to have confronted him with the cry " Vive la Pologne, See also:monsieur! " He delivered a scathing See also:indictment of the See also:Empire at the trial of See also:Pierre See also:Bonaparte for killing See also:Victor Noir in 187o, and took a part in the revolution of the 4th of See also:September, as well as in the subsequent See also:defence of Paris. In 1871 he was elected to the See also:National See also:Assembly by the See also:department of the See also:Seine. During the See also:Commune he formed the Ligue d'See also:union republicaine See also:des droits de Paris to See also:attempt a reconciliation with the government of See also:Versailles. When his efforts failed, he See also:left Paris, and was imprisoned by See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of See also:Thiers, but soon released. He became editor of the Republique Francaise, was chosen See also:president of the municipal See also:council, and in 1876 was elected See also:deputy for the See also:eleventh See also:arrondissement. He took aprominent See also:place among the extreme radicals, and became president of the See also:group of the " Union republicaine." In 1882 he held for a See also:short time the See also:post of See also:prefect of the Seine. In 1885 he succeeded M. See also:Brisson as president of the chamber. This difficult position he filled with such tact and impartiality that he was re-elected the two following years. Having approached the See also:Russian See also:ambassador in such a way as to remove the See also:prejudice existing against him in See also:Russia since the incident of 1867, he rendered himself eligible for See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office; and on the fall of the See also:Tirard See also:cabinet in 1888 he became president of the council and See also:minister of the interior in a See also:radical See also:ministry, which pledged itself to the revision of the constitution, but was forced to combat the proposals of See also:General See also:Boulanger. Heated debates in the chamber culminated on the 13th of See also:July in a See also:duel between Floquet and Boulanger in which the latter was wounded. In the following See also:February the government See also:fell on the question of revision, and in the new chamber of See also:November Floquet was re-elected to the presidential See also:chair. The See also:Panama scandals, in which he was compelled to admit his implication, dealt a fatal See also:blow to his career: he lost the See also:presidency of the chamber in 1892, and his seat in the See also:house in 1893, but in 1894 was elected to the See also:senate. He died in Paris on the 18th of See also:January 1896.
