SACKTTLLE-WEST- be-w- Charles The writer stated that the gravity of the political situation and the duties of those voters who are of English birth and who consider England the mother eountry was the reason for asking for information. Mr. Clevelands message to congress on the fisheries was mentioned as exciting alarm, which compelled the writer and others to seek further knowledge before casting their votes for him. The writer also said that many English citizens had for years refrained from being naturalized, but Mr. Clevelands administration had been so favorable and friendly toward England that thousands had become naturalised for the purpose of helping to elect him again. He continued by saying that if MfTCleve'and waa pursuing a new policy toward Canada temporarily only and for the purpose of obtaining popularity and a continuation of hia office for four years more, and intended to cease hit policy when waa secured and again hia favor Englands interests, he would then have no further doubts and would vote for him. Lord Sackvlllea reply was dated Beverly, Mass., September 13, 1889, and Is as follows: I fully appreciate the difficulty in which you find yourself in casting your vote. You are probably aware that any political party which openly favored the mother country at the present moment would lose popularity and that the party in power is fully aware of thla fact That party, however, ia.

But so far as the letter was expected to Influence the election of Harrison It had done Its work. The close states of New York and Indiana were swept out of the Democratic column. The trick was a clever, one. What possessed Lord Saekville to write such a letter is beyond comprehension. The most charitable way of looking at It was that he had really deceived himself into believing that England is dbfr mother eountry and ours a dependency. The result was Undoubtedly - a great shock to him. No nation on earth would have received him as minister after hls recaU-- from this country.
