LES REPRÉSENTANS REPRÉSENTÉS

ASSEMBLEE LEGISLATIVE, 30

ROUHER. Minister of Auvergne, famous for his somewhat socialist faith addressed to voters in 1848. Since he became Minister of Justice, the opinions of this representative have changed considerably. When you pronounce his name, clearly articulate the final R, without that we could understand Rouhé.

ALTAROCHE.
This child from Auvergne is Altaroche, deputy for Puy-de-Dôme. One of Daumier's beliefs is that all Auvergnats, without exception, are carriers of water, that is his invariable response; therefore Daumier, in spite of all our observations, insisted on representing Altaroche as a voter.
