THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
An Interview with Frank Hobson, ESQ.
Who has Returned nom the West.

PokTLASD, Oct. 81.
Frank A. Hobson, Esq., representative
from Limington in the last legislature, was
in town today after an absence of two weeks
in the west, and was interviewed by a report
er Of the Portland Express.
He spent some time in Chicago and re-
ports the republicans there as very confident
of Harrison's election. He met gentlemen
from Indiana who were very positive that
that State was certain to go republican. He
was at the Blaine demonstration In Chicago,
and says we have no idea IN the east OF the
great enthusiasm with which Mr.. Blaine was
greeted. At Rochester, N. Y, on the occa-
sion of Mr.. Blaine's meeting there, the en-
thusiasm was intense. The city was most
brilliantly illuminated, and long lines of Ian
terms hung from point to point Of the highest
buildings in the city, presented . striking
and most attractive sight. In illustI ating the
general interest felt in the election he .aid
that he met young man going home to New
York from Montana, where he is interested
in sheep raising, solely for the purpose of
registering and voting for Harrison.

SORRY sACKvILLE.
His Injury to Those He Desired to Assist
Likely to Decapitate Him.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.
Mr.. Phelps, the American minister at
London, was yesterday instructed by Presi-
dent Cleveland through the secretary of
state TO intimate to Lord Salisbury without
delay that under all the circumstances the
President is of the opinion that the good un-
derstanding of both countries would be pro-
moted if the head of the British legation at
Washington were changed.
1t is said at the state department that
when a minister makes himself so unaccept-
able to the government TO which he is ac-
credited as 10 forfeit the confidence of that
government and TO render intercourse with
hlm disagreeable, it is customary for his
government TO promptly recall him upon the
mere intimatIon of a wish to that effect.
This has invariably been done in other SIM
liar instances which have occurred in the
history of this government.
After full discussion of the matter it
was decided to supplement the cablegram of
Thursday to Mr.. Phelps by another which
would be a notice to the Marquis of Sauls-
bury that the obnoxious minister must be
Withdrawn.
The cablegram was accordingly sent yes
terday, and it is expected that Lord Sack
vile will shortly depart from the country on
a leave of absence, never to return.

Senator Hoar Tells of the Canadian
Impudence.

SourH FRAMINGHAN, Oct. 27.
The republicans hell rally here this
evening. United States Senator George F.
Hoar was the last speaker, and he hold the
audience for an hour as he discussed the
political situation. He laid special stress on
the comparison of our intercourse with for.
eign nations under past administrations and
the present, and said it caused him to blush
with shame at the way our national repre-
septatives were treated by foreign nations.
He referred to a letter he recently received
from sea captain in Gloucester. whose
vessel was seized and held for four or five
months, and finally given up to him, and the
Canadian officers laughed in his face when
he smoke of referring his claim to the United
states government The tariff question was
discussed and temperance referred to and
the workingmen earnestly appealed to for
the preservation of American markets for
Americans.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
An Over-Zealous Friend.

The warm letter in his behalf. recently
written by his close personal friend, Lord
Sackville West, the British minister at
Washington, places President Gle 7eland
in most embarrassing position. 1t is a COM
plete expose of the administration hypocrisy
in relation to the fisheries, and shows the
warm friendship entertained for it by the
English people, who see in any complete
ascendency of democratic principles great
and lasting advantages to the British people.
Lord West has certainly let the feline out of
the bag, and much as President Cleveland
esteems his personal friendship it is rep ,rted
that he has been frightened into requesting
his recall. The whole matter falls very
heavily upon Secretary Bayard who has
been, both socially and personally, a very
warm and intimate friend of the British
minister. The relations between the two
families have always been very cordial and
Mr.. Bayard feels deeply the political blum
der of his friend which bids fair to remove
him from his social circle. And after all
hat has the British minister donel He has
simply emphasized the generally known fact
that the red bandanna in this campaign
really stands for the English Jack, and that
a democratic success in November is an En-
glish success. Lord Sackville is to be
sacrificed for telling the truth, but who shall
say that his uneIpected-and perhaps unin-
tentional-unmasking of the hypocrisy of
the administration may not in the end be of
benefit to the voters of this country.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.
The Yorkshire colliery owners still resist
the mems demand for ten per cent. Increase,
but as Lancashire owners have given way,
and Durham and Northumberland men are
mostly continuing at work, it seems evident
that victory will, in the end, rest with the
workmen. Thirty-five thousand men are
now idle, fair proportion of Nottingham
and Derbyshire men being among them.
Meantime, the owners who are working are
doing so most profitably, continuing to send
up prices shilling or so every other day.
