The Presidential campaign is coming to
a close. Only five days OF it remain and
The APPEAL, always true to your interests,
has few last words to say TO you in your
own behalf; You are rs vitality concerned
in good government as any other class in
the community. You are among the
lG,5Gi, 0li persons engaged in gainiul oc-
cupalions in the United States not subject
to foreign competition, and on you as
upon the farming class falls the weight
OF supporting the S27, lSi persons who
engaged in gainiul occupations that sub
jcct to competition profit by the tariff tax
you have to pay a share Of. It is Of vital
concern TO you, therefore, that that party
should triumph which is trying TO lessen
this tax. The Democratic is that party.
II is the party OF the people. All its ira
ditions ally il with the masses Ever since
the inception OF the government II has
been the hope OF the people. II is 80 to-
day moro than over. 1t is 80 today when
the monopolisls the trusts and
combines that have been made by
tho robber war tariff, that bears
so heavily upon you. threaten your libcr'
ties, threaten the Union with n tyranny
more TO bc feared than any the Beyolution'
AIRY war relieved the country from. by this
tariff you are taxed on what you eat aud
wear, aud in wages that barely enable
you, by continued toll, TO keep pace with
the demands Of life. Proofs Of this lie nj
about you, but the plainest are 10 be iounC
in the census report Of 1850. In the sec
ond volume Of that work, which faithfully
represents the actual condition OF ia,

the greatest expounders. Brought close
to the light OF such Colossus, Blaine,
who defends all that Judge Black thus
condemns, appears as the charlatan
he is. Blaine is opposed to the
farmer and working classes, and is the
defender Of trusts and monopolisIs. His
cause is n bad one, and he is as bad as his
cause. 1t Is the result Of falsehoods and
trcachories, OF deceits and lies, and he has
easily accommodated himself to these
processes by makinga campaign OF mis-

penalties are made equally applicable to

The undersigned respectfully advises
that the attention OF the Attorney General
OF the United States be directed to these
enactments in order that an investigation
may be made with view TO ascertain
whether they have not been violated in the
present case by the correspondent OF the
British minister.
BY your direction the attention OF the
British government has, in spirit OF
comfy, been called to the conduct OF its
minister as ABOVE described, but without
result. 1t, therefore, becomes necessary
for this government to consider whether,
as the guardian Of its own self-respect and
of the integrity OF its institutions, 1t will
permit further intercourse to be held
through the present British minister at
this capital. 1t is to be observed that pre-
cedents are not wanting as to the question
under consideration. 1t is settled rule
essential to the maintenance OF interna-
tional intercourse that diplomatic repre-
sentative must be persona grata to the
government TO which he is accredited. IL,
by his conduct, he renders himself persona

Of this government in regard thereto.

Rrd ONLY Rennlrms.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-At the British
legation this evening access was denied TO
all newspaper men, and they were in
formed that Lord Sackville had nothing
to say. An Associated Press reporter
managed, however, TO have copy Of the
report Of Secretary Bayard TO the Presi-
dent sent TO the minister. After about
half an hour Lord Sackvillc in person
returned the copy to the waiting reporter,
and cordially expressed his thanks for
having had an opportunity to read the
report, which he said he had not seen
before. lie declined TO express any
opinion in regard to it, saying: 81 have
now nothing to say"
"Then you will say nothing about it
tonight?'
"Nothing, nothing" replied Lord Sack
vile. 81 am absolutely quiet"
Lord Sackville's face, as he said this,
wore a pleasant smile, and he did not
seem in the least disturbed at the turn
affairs had taken. Secretary Bayard. when
seen tonight, said that there was nothing
he could say in addition 10 what was
stated in his report to the President. The
governments action, he said, constituted
a complete severance of our relations with
Minister Sackville. The secretary did NOT
care TO enter into any speculation rs Ia
what Great Britain would do in the mat
ter, or IA 90 when n new minister would
DO sent here, but Sackyillc. he said, would
no longer be recognized In any event.
Secretary Bayarl declined absolutely Ia
give out anything in regard TO the spirit
ia which the communications OF the
United States were received by the British
government. The matter, he said, was {
subject OF messages or letters between the
two parties, and neither, he said, had the
right 90 give out the contentsof these com
munications without the consent Of the
other. What had taken place between
the President and himself he had given q
the press, but the other correspondence h,
did not feel at liberty 10 make public.
A I'od reporter tonight put the following
question 10 Secretary Bayard: "llayo you
ever at any time formally requested or do
manded OF the British government the re
call Of Lord Sackyillc?'
The secretary replied: "No, no; posi-
lively no. All statcmentsto that effect ar,

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The Herald says;
The dignity and self-respect OF the coun-
try, and Mr.. Cleveland's own dignity, re-
quired that il so unpleasant thing were
to be done it should be done quietly, de-
Gently, without bluster. This country is
too great to buster. 1t is strong enough,
powerful enough to be patient, slow to
take ofense, dignifed and quiet in its
methods Of showing ofiense; careful to
give none needlessly. Give Mr. Bayard
his passports to Delaware, Mr.. Cleveland.
You can't afford TO have such an incompe-
tent and histericky person as your adviser.
Ii you retain him he will, before you
know it, make you ridiculous in the face
OF the whole world. Or II you must keep
him, don't take his advice on any subject

the whole scheme for campaign effect,

recated in our politics than the assumption
that there are classes OF voters whose ac-
ton is TO be determined by appeals to
prejudices founded on national distinc-
tons that have no legitimate connection
with our own affairs. The supposition
that the casual expressions Of foreign
minister touching the sensibilities OF some
class OF our citizens are going to decide
their political action in contest which
involves domestic interests of the gravest
import is at once insulting to those cti-
zens and humiliating to the national char
acter. A party that endeayors to use such
means as TO affect the result OF an election
is utterly unworthy OF support"
