citizens).
[30] Official report of the Electoral Assembly of the Department of
Indre-et-Loire, Aug. 27, 1791. "A member of the Assembly made a
motion that all the members composing it should be indemnified for
the expenses which would be incurred by their absence from home and
the long sojourn they had to make in the town where the Assembly was
held. He remarked that the inhabitants of the country were those
who suffered the most, their labor being their sole riches; that if
no attention was paid to this demand, they would be obliged, in
spite of their patriotism, to withdraw and abandon their important
mission; that the electoral assemblies would then be deserted, or
would be composed of those whose resources permitted them to make
this sacrifice."
