BOTH CLAIM VICTORY.
Tho Reichstag Campaign Becoming Yer,
Interesting.

BERLIN, May 30 Obviously trust
worthy data on which to base predic-
ton of the final result of the election
continue to be wanting. The opposition
papers and the organs of Herr Richter
faction OF the Freisinnige party count
upon majority of from forty to sixty
hostile TO the government. Chancellor
Won Caprivi's organs assert that the
conservatives, the moderate fac lion of
the Freisinnige party. and tho centrists
are supporting the army bill and that
the government is daily gaining ground.
1t is generally admitted that the ma
tional liberals, except in Silesia, are
vanishing as political force and that
the socialists are everywhere gaining.
Another week ought to allow clearer
estimate to be made as to tho ultimate
position OF the several parties.
Hcr Won Levetzow, president of the
last reichstag, will again stand for cleo
ton in the third Frankfort district
The Germans, the clerical organ, has
explained to the Catholic electors that
the centrist declaration means, with the
maintenance of the inviolability of the
late DR.. Windthorst's demands for the
admission into Germany of the Jesuits
and affiliated orders, there is full liberty
to make terms with the government on
the army bill. The Lieber faction Of
the confer party is, in short. ready to
negotiate with Chancellor Won Caprivi
on the basis Of the repeal of the rem ain
ing religious disabilities in return for
its adhesion to the governments mill
tary demands.
Throughout Saxony, always social
list stronghold, that party seems to be
all potent Unless present appearances
are falsified eight more seats will be
captured at the coming elections. This
will not be because socialism has grown
so much, but because of the absolute
disorder that has resulted from the i'm
potence of the old political parties.
Then there is the Germany reform
party, led by Herr Zimmerman, an ex-
mem Der of the Reichstag, with demo
cratic anti semitic programme. Accord
ing to Herr Iim merman, tho increase
in the army asked for by the govern
ment ~Cght to be granted, but the Jews
