Gauthier de Clagny was a supporter of General Georges Ernest Boulanger, and a member of the steering committee of the republican plebiscite committees in 1883. In 1885 he was a supporter of the Bonapartist Appel au peuple, and spoke against parliamentarianism and in favor of a plebiscite and revision of the 1875 constitution. He remained true to these views throughout his political career, demanding revision of the constitution from each legislature. In 1886 he was elected general councilor of the canton of Sèvres in the southwest of Paris, and retained this office for the remainder of his life. In 1889 he joined the bar of the Court of Appeal of Paris. He was appointed head of the Journal de droit administratif.Шаблон:Sfn
