The Presidential election: Englishmen, induced to become United States citizens by Mr. Cleveland's friendly attitude towards Great Britain, alarmed by his hostility on the fishery question; if it be merely to gain popularity, to be changed after his re-election, will vote for him. California evenly divided between the parties; Mr. Harrison an enemy to British interests; the balance of power with naturalized Englishmen; confidential advice as to Mr. Cleveland's policy requested that Englishmen may be advised how to vote. The Presidential election: Either political party openly favoring Great Britain would lose pop. ularity; the Democratic party aware of this, yet desirous of maintaining friendly relations with Great Britain and settling Canadian questions; allowance to be made on account of the approaching election; every reason to believe that Mr. Cleveland, while maintaining his position, will be conciliatory; an article from the "New York Times" inclosed. The Murchison correspondence shown to Mr. Bayard by Lord Sackville, who said his letterwas meant to be kept private; amazement and condemnation of Mr. Bayard expressed to him; reflections subsequently made by Lord Sackville in newspaper interviews upon the Presi dent and Senate; Lord Salisbury's attention to be called to the matter, and confidence expressed that he will disapprove it. Lord Salisbury absent from town; will see him the 28th; is it certain Lord Sackville was not incorrectly reported? The motives of the President and Senate in regard to Canadian questions impugned in his correspondence and in public interviews by Lord Sackville, and his usefulness at an end; public sentiment aroused; Lord Salisbury should understand the necessity of immediate action. Lord Salisbury declines to act until receipt of Lord Sackville's precise language and explanation; the letter alone not regarded as warranting his recall; a recall will end his career; not so a dismissal by the United States, for which there are precedents; delay on the part of the British Government anticipated; advises dismissal, if effective action is necessary; this view supported by the London press; the requirements of comity satisfied; explanations can follow. A letter written by C. F. Murchison, an Englishman, naturalized in the United States, to Lord Sackville, asking advice how he and his fellow countrymen (Englishmen, naturalized citizens of the United States) should vote at the 1667 1668 1669 1669 1670 1670 1671 SUPPLEMENT A-Continued.
