HOPE FOR DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

,coPrR1GHT. 1S92. BY N. 7. ASSOCIATED PRESS.
BERLIN, June 1.-THE course of the Re
publican Convention at Minneapolis wa
followed with the greatest interest in politi
cal circles here, where it was general,
expected and hoped that Mr.. Blaine woult
be successful, not because Mr.. Blaine wa
liked, but because his success would have
been regarded as a partial rebuff to the Nc
Kinley policy, under which German manu-.
factarers are still smarting
All here are in sympathy with the Demo.
Gratis. While the personal character OF
President Harrison and the ability of Mr..
Reid are universally conceded, little at
tempt is made to conceal the hope that they
will be beaten at the polls The leaders in
the newspapers reflect the general feeling
The Tdgbldn says:
1t is doubted If the unity of the Republic
an party will again become a fact. From the
German point of view, We desire Demo
cratic victory. President Harrison's re
election means an increase in Drotectionism
The National Zeit'u1g says that though the
Republicans may remain united, the ticket
is not a strong one. New York, which
lives upon imports, will defeat protection
and Harrison.
The Nomination Ascribed to Mckinley.
The FoSSiche Zeitung says:
The main results of the nomination are the
unifcation and strengthening of the Repub-
licans. 1t is a bad omen for European in
terests in America that Mckinley fathers
Mr.. Harrison's candidacy.
The BorSn Courier says: eve are rid Of
Blaine, and hope that Cleveland will rid US
of Harrison"
The meeting between the Gar and En-
peror William at Kiel has been the leading
topic of conversation during the week. The
comments of the newspapers here show that
1t is generally ielt that there is little reason
for congratulation over the result of the
meeting, which had too much the appear
ance of the Emperor running after the Gar,
while the ostentatiouS visit of the Grand
Duke Constantine to Nancy, at the express
instructions of the Gar, dispelled any idea
that political Importance can be attached to
the hiel meeting.
The cordial character of his reception.
however, cannot fail to impress the Gar
with the fact that the Emperor desires to
maintain friendly relations with Russia
The Emperor's conterring the honorary
rank of German Admiral on the Gar is
further proof OF his desire to show his
kindly regard for him.
The Offc Created Especially
The title was especially created for the
occasion. The only foreign royal person.
ages holding honorary titles in the German
navy are King Oscar IL, of Sweden, and
Archduke Stephen, of Austria, but they do
not hold special rank.
During the breakfast at Kiel, the Gar
conversed freely with General Werder, this
occurrence being greatly remarked as tend
ing to confirm the reports that General
Werder will be the next German minister
to st. Petersburg. The Cologne Gazette
affirms that the Gar, while at Kiel, de-
clared he would not think of supporting
France if she raised any question regarding
Alsace-Loraine.
The papers are still occupied in discuss
ing the prospects of reconciliation be-
tween Emperor William and Prince Bis
marck. A rumor has been in circulation
that Prince Bismarck would be made Presi-
dent of the State Council, but there is little
likelihood that the eI-Chancellor, even
should a reconciliation be effected, would
accept such an unimportant post as the
Presidency of the State Council, which he
himself created in order to appoint Crown
Prince Frederick thereto, and thus remove
the Crown Prince from any influence in &C.
tive politics
Another of the Kaiser's Advances Repulsed.
An extraordinary story has recently been
circulated. 1t is said that the Emperor,
while passing through Fredrichsruhe on a
recent journey, ordered the tain on which
he was travelling to be stopped and sent
message to Prince Bismarck, requesting
him to come to the train, as he
- ,rSth d..
Bismarck was inclined to go, but
was dissuaded from doing so by his wife and
Count Herbert Bismarck, who insisted that
he ought not to submit to be treated in such
an off-hand manner Finally, a message
was sent to the Emperor with the informa-
tion that Prince Bismarck was unable to
comply with His Majestv's request Upon
receiving this reply the Emperor proceeded
on his journey.
The proposal to hold an international e1.
hibition in Berlin in 1896 still has many
supporters in spite of the assertion made in
q recent letter by Chancellor Won Capriyi,
that the holding of such an exhibition is out
of the question. Second Burgomaster Zelle,
who is regarded as the successor of Herr
Forckenbeck as Burgomaster, has declared
himself in favor of the exposition. He saws
however that in view of the holding of the
Chicago Worlds Fair in 1898, it will be i'm
possible TO organize the Berlin Exposition
before 1898.
In contrast with the action of the German
Chancellor, a telegram received from Buda
Pesth tonight states that member of the
Government, in replying to a question re-
gardIng Hungary's intentions as to the
Chicago Worlds Fair, declared that there
was not sufficient interest in Hungary in
the Exuosltion to guarantee that that coun-
try would be worthily represented.
