Sažetak
This work analyses the political work of Dr. Gjuro Pilar, Member of Croatian Parliament (Sabor) from Brod, elected in 1883 during the fi rst parliamentary elections after the reincorporation of the Military Frontier. Pilar did not show any great political talent and in that domain he was far behind his own achievements as a scientist. Political opponents of the Party of Right acknowledged Pilar’s great scientific reputation and personal honesty, but considered him to be “a veritable child” as far as politics was concerned. In Parliament he signed the “Declaration” of the twelve newly elected Members of Parliament of the Military Frontier disputing the validity and constitutionality of the Hungarian-Croatian Agreement. The result of his eight-month work in the Croatian Parliament were two interpellations in which Pilar’s sensitivity to the everyday problems of common people is visible and a speech in which he emphasized the role of the bureaucracy in elections siding with the governmental candidate, which was the characteristic of all parliamentary elections in Croatia.
