Jean Paul Pierre Casimir-Perier (8 November 1847 - 11 March 1907 was a French Politician, fifth president of the French Third Republic.

Eugène Henri Brisson (31 July 1835 14 April 1912 was a French statesman Prime minister of France for a period in 1885-1886 and again in 1898 To accomplish this end it was necessary to unite the party, and unity could only be secured by the nomination of someone who offended no one.
