Party Gaining and Will Be Hard to

New York, March l6.-The general
election In Germany. which will take
place three months hence. says "A Trib-
une dispatch from London, will prob
ably be a more bitter one than any
previous occasion, as several important
public interests will be at stake, which
are in direct antagonism to each Other.
The alliance Of the moderate parties

by means of which 1t was lossible to
beat socialist obstruction. proves TO
have been merely a temporary one,
At the last election one-third OF the
votes Of all the electors were given to
the socialist candidates and the Giscon-
tent which prevails all over Germany
is constantly bringing new recruits TO-
the socialist ranks.
