Biography
Moritz Sheps - the son of a doctor of Jewish origin, received medical education in Lemberg and Vienna , but later became a journalist. In 1885-1867, Sheps served as editor-in-chief of the Vienna newspaper Morgenpost . Since 1867, Moritz Sheps published the leading publication of Austrian liberals, the newspaper Neues Wiener Tagblatt . In his newspaper, Sheps, a friend of Crown Prince Rudolph , anonymously published political texts. Sheps did not eschew political conflicts and appealed directly to his political opponents.
Sheps’s sponsors, who sought to be careful in journalism, drove Sheps out of the editorial office, and through the means of a Hungarian sponsor, he purchased the Morgenpost edition and changed its name to Wiener Tagblatt . Economically unfortunate newspaper ceased to exist in 1905.
Like the Crown Prince, Sheps believed that the Austrian monarchy in the name of its future should oppose the reactionary policies of Otto von Bismarck and cooperate with the liberal republican democratic France. Therefore, Sheps maintained contact with Paris and was a political opponent of Georges Clemenceau , later the brother of his son-in-law, at that time the publisher of the newspaper, and after the death of Sheps, who twice served as Prime Minister of France . Sheps's pro-French mindset was severely criticized in Vienna, in particular by representatives of the growing German anti-Semitic camp, and did not have the support of Emperor Franz Joseph . The death of the crown prince in 1889 was a serious blow to Sheps in his political aspirations.
