the Russian and German conservatives with the
view Of damaging the cause Of the true democracy

An old school German journal, the Ostsee Zeftung
says:-"The discovery OF a Nihlstic conspiracy in
Russia cannot fail to cause strong reaction
against the national democracy represented by
Katkow, and to weaken It's influence, at least in
governmental circles. Voices are already heard in
the conservative party which dwell on the close
resemblance between national democracy and
Nihilism, and declare that the latter is born and
bred Of the former. For, although the national
democrats OF Russia are loud In their professions
OF attachment to the power Of the Gears, their po
