Aaer was a paid agent OF the reactionaries.
I'VE say what We know. know that deputy

purely in the in 'erests Of the party. for wher-

knowledge Of the situation: they know moth

ton will be lore within fifteen years.
We oppose the Parliamentary leaders be-
cause they lag behind the growth Of the rsvo-
luton. They quarrel aud stultify themselves
while the masses in despair are driven to
sas,ehy. Anarchists are only Socialists crazsd
By DESPERATION. While the leaders spend
money r1tra, agantly the laborers drift from
thsm and y. epRre to free themselves unaided.
Unless the methods OF the leaders be changed
At once. all German Socialists will become
anarchists"
The saddler. Auer. who was the mark OF
most Of Wildberger's TRADE. answered him In
long and impressive speech Auer denied
that be and his colleagues had shirked duty.
The opposition attack us with the utmost
savageness. but II we retaliate they play in
jured innocence. Tho Executive Committee
merely registers tho orders OF the annual
Congress. The opposition has many honest
members. but behind them are many dishon-
est ones. IL deputies are dishonorable IL IL easy

DOSE expulsion at the Erfurt Congress"
Auert then rra extracts from Wildbergor's
campaign speeches praising tho action OF the
parliamentary lea! ers as the only hope OF the
realization OF The Socialist revolution.
In closing Auer attacked Wildbsrger direct.
