Original Text:
UNE PROFESSION DE FOI.
Oui, monsieur, j'ai mis ma vie politique à nu devant le pays. Je croyais alors que mon amour sincère pour nos institutions me rendait digne de représenter mes concitoyens..... Je me suis trompé monsieur, grossièrement trompé!!

Translation:
A CONFESSION OF FAITH.
Yes Sir, I bared my political life in pure sincerity before my country. I was convinced that my true love for our institutions would make me worthy of representing my fellow citizens. I was wrong, Monsieur, it seems the nation wasn't ready for this yet.
