 Czechs, and became the leading exponent of 

 the German idea in Bohemia. He was elected 

 to the Diet, and afterward to the Reichsrath, 

 where his passionate advocacy of Germanic 

 supremacy placed him in the front rank of 

 politicians. "When the federalistic principle 

 gained the upper hand after the wars of 1866 

 and 1870, he withdrew from politics, left Aus-
