SENTIMENT REVERSED.
The Constitutional Democrats Are Be-
ing Defeated at Russian Elections.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-The gov
eminent attaches much Importance to
the defeat of the Constitutional Dem
ocrats in the zemstvos elections now
under way. For years the provincial
zemstvos nave been the centers OF the
liberal movement and practically all
the Constitutional Democratic leaders
have been prominent in zemstvos
work Now. as candidates for re-elec-
ton, they are going down to defeat.
NJ. Kakoshkone. next to NJ Roditi-
chef, the most brilliant of the Con-
stitutional Democratic orators in the
outlawed parliament, has been defeat
ed by Count Sheremetieff, the notori-
Gus reactionary, and yesterday two
Constitutional Democrats were defeat
ed At Samar.
While these results certainly indi-
cate a reaction of sentiment against
the advanced programme of the Con
stitutional Democrats it should also be
pointed out that the nobility and land
ed prOprietOrs have the dominant in
huence in zenstvOs elections, and the
defeat of the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis probably presents more their
hostility to the principle of the forced
appropriation of land, to which the
Constitutional Democrats are commit
ted. than enmity to the purely po-
litical part of their programme Never

reasons to believe that it is the inten-

move normally, to support the candi-

expected to amalgamate with the Oc-
toberists, whether the cooperation of
the right wing of the Constitutional
Democrats is secured or not.
A significant symptom of the radical
change in the situation produced by
the miserable failure of the general

the Social Democratic leaders who a
fortnight ago were its most active pro-
motors are now in favor of turning
their attention to the coming elections.

beneficial effects convinced me of its

wonders for him.
