GERMAN COMMENT
 ON THE ELECTION

Berlin. November 7.-German government circles are all delighted at President Me- Kinley's reelection.
 The German public is taking much more interest in the American election than here tofore. Everybody is discussing the results. Dr Von Hollenben, the German ambassa- dor to the United States, who is now in this city. said to the correspondent of the Associated Press:
 I've all rejoice oyer it."
 Dr. Earth, the Freisinnige leader said: T regard Mir. McKinley's election, all to- sether considered, as the best result, al- though I cannot endorse his imperialistic tendencies. Yet I regard his election as more conducive to the interest of general affairs. For the economic interests of both the United States and Germany, the pres ent result is also more satisfactory"
 The Tageblatt says: "The Germans greet McKinley's election above all as victory for sound currency over revolutionary mon etary experiments, which would have been calculated to most severely shake the basis of the entire worlds commerce Anyhow Germanys policy is to nurse close and loyal relations, with the head of a country that Is connected with us by so many economic and national ties as is the United States
 For that reason, too, the Emperor has repeatedly made appeals to President Me Kinley and the latter has, especially recent ly. responded cordially. Above all, we hope that the question of a commercial treaty will be solved"
 The Vossische Zeitung, says: "Germany can only rejoice at the further strengthen- ing and qualification of the economic con- ditons in the United States. No state can escape the inconvenience of having com petitors in the worlds markets. That must be reckoned with, and we must put forth all our strength in peaceful competition. But not only for North American indus trial interests is MT. McKinley's reelection of great importance, but also for the en- tire commerce of the world, which Is vitally interested in a secure gold currency in the United States. For these and a number of other reasons the result of the election may be considered as the smaller one of the two evils"
 The Post says: 'The result is greeted with satisfaction and sympathy in Ger many, for the reelected President has won the confidence of our government and our
  forts to maintain good relations between Germany and the United States. In the midst of popular passion the President pre- served cool head and turned aside rude hands which tried to force him into an anti-German policy"
 The Neuste Nachrichten says "From a German standpoint MT. McKinleys elec- tion gives no occasion for regret. The N ish war and Chinese troubles has observedp a thoroughly correct attitude, in pleasing contrast with the public agitation which threatened a far-reaching estrangement.
 ''The United States position in the Sa- moa question was pronouncedly favorable to Germany and aided a solution favor able to Germany"
 The National Zeitung says: "AIr Me Kinley's victory can only be received by us with satisfaction, especially from the standpoint of the excellent personal rela- tlons between the President and the Elm peror, which have repeatedly foud express sion from both sides and which have also been shown by the friendly settlement of some of the important questions discussed between them during the past few years" The Kreuz Zeitung says: "The policy of imperialism has received new impulse through MT. McKinley's election, namely, the sanction of the American people. We assume that the government which seeks to place America in the forefront of na- tions and plant the Stars and Stripes on the shores of all seas will gain fresh strength"
 Regarding the relations with Europe MT. McT<inleys election awakens less con ffdence than MT. Bryan's would. MT. White describes MT. Mckinley to us as friedly to Germany the thought occurs to us, T hear the message but faith fails me-"
 The Boersen Zeitung says: Abroad Mir. McKinley's election will be received with satisfaction for the demagogical behavior of the Democrats everywhere was regarded as a dangerous proceeding and shows that the Republican triumph was the smaller of two evils. We may hope that the United States, after leaving, of it's own accord, the isolation which was self-imposed and coming into constant and permanent con tact with the European powers, will be- come convinced that the system of studied disregard which it has hitherto pursued can no longer be maintained"
 The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, which is the main Agrarian organ, says: "We have from the first expressed the opinion that the party which would win was the party which had the most dollars, and that this party was the Republican and gold-bugs was simplifed by each party making a show down of the number of dollars to be expended in the election. This would also show the number of electors. But then the Americans like an election campaign. as it is exciting sport"
 The Tagelche Bundeschau says: "Un- doubtedly for America an era of world power politics of the most intense descrip. ton begins, and judging form the samples thereof already seen, this will not be a factor for promoting the worlds peace. The United States will now show its true face in the Chinese question. We cannot say that our confidence in MT. MeKinleys
