Pierre Tirard, Mayor of the second arrondissement, a business district, was one of the few conservative Mayors on whom Thiers could rely. He was elected to the Commune but resigned, along with several others, during the chaotic first sitting when he found that it was debating issues beyond the control of a legal municipal council.
