6 Eulenburg visited Caprivi in Hanover on 6 March 1890 and discussed political questions with him, but he seems to have been genuinely surprised to hear on 17 March that the Kaiser intended to appoint the general to the chancellorship: he told Holstein that if asked he would have suggested Schweinitz or Hohenlohe, ‘but never Caprivi’ (Eulenburg to Holstein, 18 March 1890, Bundesarchiv Koblenz, Eulenburg Papers, io, 279). Caprivi was certainly not the candidate of August Eulenburg, who pressed for Waldersee's appointment.
