The resignation Of General BrOusart Won Schel-

cially welcome to the German Social Democrats.
Their jubation is the harsh note in the
chorus of regrets 1T his departure from post
which he has filled with distinction. The Social
Democrats have had more relentless enemy
since Bismarck than the ex-Mnster He was
ever on guard against them. ever ready to give
them thrust He was good debater. too and
for that reason was feared more by Bebel and his
colleagues than the other members of the Cabi-

means a change Of policy toward the Socialists.

Silver Question.
YIELDS TO GREAT PRESSURE

NEW YORK, June II, 1s96.-william c..
Whitney, who had taken passage for
Europe on the Teutonic, which sailed for
Europe this morning, said this forenoon:
4 decided late last night to remain
at home and go to the convention at
Chicago. / do not think that I can help
matters much, but I have yielded to the
requests of many friends who have been
at me for several weeks to be present
when the convention meets. All this
muddle that the party has got into over
the silver question may, in my opinion,
result in its entire disruption, and if I
can be of assistance to those who We're
instrumental in helping to reform mat
ters in 1892. shall be glad to do So
1T is true that had not. up to last
night, expected to attend the convention
at all, or in fact have anything to do
with it, and my sudden change of plans
is only the result of my determination
W yielu sto the WlSneS OF my frlendS.
Nothing said by Mr.. Cleveland has in
fluenced me, as l have not heard from
him directly or indirectly His renomina-
4tion- is. to my mind. Impossible. Nobody
can tell what will take place under pres
ent conditions. If I can help matters
by conferring with those associated vita
me in the movement instituted four
years ago, 1 am willing to make the at
tempt, although I cannot tell now what I
can do
The sudden change in Mr.. whitney's
plans is regarded as an indication that
the Democrats of the East anticipate
one Of the hardest fights in the history
of the party.
Mr.. Whitneys determination not to go
abroad was the outcome of the pressure
that has been brought to bear upon him
by such staunch Democrats as David
B. Hill, Senator German, ex-senator
Matthew C. Ransom and Colonel James
Murdock
These men had long conference with
Mr.. Whitney yesterday afternoon. but
II was not until last night that he sub
mitted to the views of his friends.
