He moved to Paris and found work as a maitre répétiteur (teaching assistant) at the École Monge, where he spent three years.

The next year he was appointed copywriter at the Public Assistance, where he worked until 20 April 1891 when he resigned to become editor of the Libre Parole.

[1] Gaston Méry joined the daily newspaper La Libre Parole shortly after it was launched by Édouard Drumont.

His fought well-publicized duels with Émile Gustave Laffon, Governor of New Caledonia, Dr. Ward, physician of the Mizon mission, M. Rogier, Adolphe Possien and the Prince de la Moskowa.

[6] La Libre Parole then made a series of attacks on Durand's character, accusing her of being a bad mother and a prostitute.

Méry claimed she had turned away an old friend from her days as an actress, implying that she wanted to forget this aspect of her past.

[6] When Bradamante wrote in La Fronde that subscribing to the Henry fund would be to pay homage to a criminal, Méry countered that the frondeuses would not "'come to the aid of a mother in tears with her baby."

He wrote that La Fronde was being funded by the same Jewish association that was paying to overturn the Dreyfus trial decision and to destroy the French nation.

[4] In his racial theory, although the French nobility was German and the bourgeoisie was Latin, the common people of northern France were purely Celtic.

We will show the people that the Revolution profited only the Midi, where it started; that only the Latins and the Jews gain any benefit from it, and that it must be fought again because it did nothing to give us our freedom, but only replaced our masters.

[2] Méry wanted to base his political action on direct contact with the divine word, particularly during the Dreyfus affair.

[1] During the 1904 municipal elections Méry spoke in Paris to a meeting of 5,000 nationalist members of the Ligue des Patriotes and the Patrie française.
