fiuence and bureaucratic system are pull
ing together 10 delay the official returns OF
the election, ana 10 alternate the import
0nce of the success Of the Socialists Al tho
polls. Last night an Independent and en-
tlrely reliable authority gave hgures show.
ing that the Socialists had actually elected
twenty members. aud had good prospect
70 capture thirty more seats on second bal
lots. The semi official press records to-day
the election Of sixteen Socialists. Other
papers SAY that nineteen Socialists are
elected. Slight diyergences such az this IN
the result will not alter the leading and
dominant fact that the Cartel combination
Is DESTROYED.
The composition % the Reichstag will
involve almost revolutionary notifications.
The most sanguiDe Of Gait llers 90 not ex-
poet that the second ballots will make such
change in the result az will seriously
modify the deficit. The supreme question
Is how far viii the Socialists success ultl-
matcly reach. On THURSDAY their total re-
cord Of votes reached nearly one million
and a half. against q record Of 77i.l2S IN
the election of 1851 No combination of
Their opponents seems likely 10 head them
OIL on the second ballots. and thus we have
before u, the prospect Of seeing thirty-iiye
~ forty Socialists seated IN the Relchetag.
This party held eleven seats in the last
RelchStl-.
Another result suggestive OF the growth
Of popular movement 70 the reappcaroncc
of the V0G's Pdriei or Democrats, 50 called
IN the keIchstag Of ISL. when this party
held eleven seats. II vauished completely
in the Parliament Of 1887, for "a Il stood IN
the border land between the German Libe-
rails and the Socialists It's efforts became
absorbed respectively m these. II has now
captured three seats and has q fair pros
pcct Of gaining eight on the second ballots.
The position Of the German Liberals IL
doubtful. though Eugene Richter. is
leader. predicts that n viii have fifty
seats. II ROW has thirty-hvc. As this party
l5 IN German politics one that might pro-
perry bc called d liberal party, using that
word without qualification. and 10 Is oril-
narily used in discrimination of parties,
this increase Is 10 Doe hoped for Formerly.
however. the strength of this party was
much greater. The chief sufferer how
over. now and prospcctIyely l. the M
tiaual Liberal party, the party of Beunig-
son and Niqlcl and the backbone of the
Cartel combination. Il Is doomed 10 re-
appear IN the Reichstag with q certain loss
OF thirty seats. In the last Heichstag 1t
had uucty-thIce seats.
Taking the whole result together as 10

Liberals. properly speaking. 50; Socialists,

II: Al~atIaus, 3: PrOtcst"rs, j.: Guclphs
and Danes together, -. THIS is very
HETEROGENEOUS opposition, held together
by no devotion 90 q common purpose. but
only by negative tie of objection. yet II
is bound to give tine Government some
lively times and 10 play momcnt0us part
i'm the history of Europe.
Some incidents Of the contest are SO
striNngly notable that they are likely 90
