GERMAN POLITICS.
Berlin, Jan, 3. Prince Von Bulow. the German Imperial Chancellor, in an open letter addressed to the Imperial Anti-Socialist Democratic Union, states that although the elections are unlikely to result in the return of a great united liberal party able to take the Centre’s place, yet the Right,. National Liberals and other Freisinnige parties might gain enough to form a majority on occasions. He added that Social Democracy constituted a real danger to the State. Robespierre, the Leveller, was inevitably followed by Bonaparte’s sword, which treed France. No one in Germany desired the initiation of a personal regime. Still less, he asserted, did the great majority desire a party regime. Every defeat inflicted on the Social Democracy should be a warning to Socialists to moderate their blind arrogance. Prince Von Bulow’s menacing reference to Bonaparte’s sword is interpreted as Berlin to imply that the Kaiser will resort to a military ' coup d’etat if the Socialists are victorious at the impending elections.
The rivalries and dissentions within the liberal groups contrast strikingly with the solidarity of the Centre and Social Democratic groups.
