PRINCE BULOW ON SOCIAL DEMOCRACY. •
Received January 3, 9.47 p.m.: BERLIN, January 3
Prince Bulow, in an open letter, addressed to the Imperial Anti-Social-ist 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 Freisenninge parties might gain enough to form a majority on occasions. Social democracy constituted a real danger. "Robespierre the Leveller', was inevitably followed by Bonaparte's sword, which freed France. No one in Germany desired a personal regime, still less does the great majority desire a party regime. Every defeat inflicted on social democracy would be a warning to Socialists to their blind arrogance.
Received January 3, 9.58 p.m. BERLIN, January 3
Prince Bulow's menacing reference to Bonaparte's sword is interpreted in Berlin that the Kaiser will resort to a military coup d'etat, if the Socialists are victorious at the elections. Rivalry and dissension within the Liberal groups contrast strikingly with the solidarity of the Centre and Social Democratic groups.
