HIS OPINION SOLICITED
ON WHAT WAS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS.
Pomona, Cal, Sept. d, 1883.


To the British Minister, Washington, d. c.:
Sir The gravity of the political situation here and
the duties Of those voters who Of English birth but
stll consider England the mother land constitute the
apology hereby offer for ntrudlng for information.
Mr. Cleveland's message to Congress on the Fishery
question Justly excites our alarm and compels US to
seek further knowledge before finally casting our votes
for him as we had intended to do Many English
citizens have for years rcfrained from being natural
ized as they thought good would accrue from tho
act, but Mr.. Clevelands Administration has been so
favorable and friendly toward England so kind In not
enforcing the Realiatory act passed by Congress- SO
sound the feerade question and SO hosuio 10 the
dynamite school of Ireland, that by the hundreds-yes
by tho thousands-thcy have become naturalized for
the express purpose Of helping to elect him over again.
The ono above all of American politicians they con-
slider their own and their country's best friend

for President In November. I am unable to under
stand for whom shall cast my ballot, when out ono

REPLIES WITH AMAZING FRANKNESS.

Beverly, Mass,

Beverly, Mass,
Sept 13, 1888.
Sir: I am in receipt Of your letter of the
4th inst, and beg to say that fully appre-
ciate 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 this fact. The party,
however, is | believe, still DESTROYS of main
tanning friendly relations with Great Britain
and is still as DESTROYS Of settling all questions
with Canada which have been unfortunately
reopened since the retraction of the treaty by
the Republican majority in the Senate, and by
the Presidents message, to which you allude
All allowances must, therefore, be made for the
political situation az regards the Presidential
election thus created. 1t is, however, impos-
sble TO predict the course which President
Cleveland may pursue in the matter of retalia-
ton, should he be elected but there is every
reason to believe that while upholding the
position he has taken, he will manifest a spirit
of cancellation in dealing with the question in
voIyed in his message. | enclose an article
from "The Newly ork Times" of August %,
and remain,
Yours faithfully,
L. s. SACKVILLE WEST.
