Declarants
Several members of the Conservative Party in Prussia who publicly protested against a statement by Otto von Bismarck in the Reichstag on February 9, 1876, were named declarants (also known as Kreuzzeitung declarants ) . The Conservative Party had previously been unofficially known as the Kreuzzeitungspartei .
Bismarck had asserted in the Reichstag that anyone who holds and pays for the Kreuzzeitung is indirectly participating in the lies and slander of which the newspaper was guilty in 1875. The newspaper had accused the highest officials of the Reich ( Bismarck, Camphausen and Rudolph von Delbrück ) in several articles of participating in founder speculations.
