As was to be expected, the result Of the supple
mcntay elections has been entirely in favor of the
liberal party In several districts the conservatives
did not venture 10 run their own candidates, and
coAtcnted themselves with supporting those who
were proposed by the less advanced section Of the
liberals. In our capital NJ. dc larchmann one of
The most prominent members of the National As
-emby dissolved by the corp d'6iot of November,
las, received number Of votes at the caucus
meetings of the Third Electoral district but was
finally withdrawn by compromise with the modc-
rdooS, who accepted in his stead DR.. Diesterweg
eXdirector Of the national schools Of Berlin from
which Office he had been dismissed by the late mi
nisIy, 10 whom he had rendered himself obnoxious
by The sturdy independence of his character. Dies
terweg is one of the first teachers of our time;
he may be called the DR.. Arnold Of Germany and
has abored zealously all his life to introduce a
more popular and rational system Of education
in lieu Of the mere mechanical drilling that deadens
the intellect instead Of expanding it. This, Of
course did not suit the views of NM de Man
teuael and Raumer, and he was prosecuted accord
iHgly with unremtting virulence. At Breslau, the
a a vpl
some fight, they were completely defeated by a
junction of the c0nstitutonalists with the democrats
the former of whom returned one and the latter
two of their candidates. The manufacturing town
OF Solingen in westphaa, elected Baron Roenne
one of1he few liberal diplomatsts Of Prussia, and
formerly ambassador TO the United States, from
whence he was recalled by the late government, on
account Of the sympathies he was suspected of
entertaining for American institutions M. de
EoeDue is . native of HOstcin, and brother 10 the
eminent lawyer Of that name, who, after being,
Ike himself, in disgrace under the late r6giD,c has
now also obtaineda seat in the new Chambers. At
Posen, where the elections DO not come oil till the
22d instant, NJ Schutle, OF Delitch, leading mem
Der Of The democratic party, has been pro-
posed, Int it > doubtful whether he viii
succeed in securing q majority, the cOnserva.
u,cs arc moving heaven aud earth to prevent his
election, and it is not unlikely that they will be
oined by The more timd portion Of the liberals,
who feel nervous at the bare recollection Of 1913,
and Of the individuals that played a conspicuous
pant IN the events Of that revolutionary year. Not
withsiandiug these fears, however, and the dnicu.
ties opposed TO the election Of popular men by the
three class system there will be sprnkling Of de-
mocras in the next Legislature; and, az vacancies
are constantly occurring in the House by deaths

their numbers may be confidently anticipated.
