MURCHISON THE GUILTY ONE.
The British Minister the
Only One Who Bit.
The Murchison Letter.

several weeks past had been on most
intimate terms with them. The two
former repeatedly referred 10 a poll
teal thunderclsp about to break over
the Democratic Party, but it was only
after the publication of the West letter
thew mace any admission regarding
it. 1t then transpired that the letter
was really written by Murohison, at
the dictation of Count Menzau and
Finney. Five letters in all were ad
dressed to prominent men in the east,
the British minister being the only one
who replied. Burgess says he does
not understand why the names of the
originators of the scheme had not been
learned before this.
THE sACKVILLE INCIDENT CONSIDERED
ENDED.
LONDON, November lit is stated
in government circles that the Sack
vilIe incident is considered ended. Sack
vile has not yet advised the govern
ment as to his return. Possible some
time may elspse before a new minister
will he sent 10 Washington. American
circles here are anxious that Dutferiu
should be appointed to the post.
NOT PREPARED TO SEND IRON CLADs!
The 81. James Gazette, referring to the
action of the United States in the case
SackYille, says: ut would be most
creditable to English good sense if SEQ
rotary Bsyard's insolence was treated
with contempt. The American eagle is
screeching. Let him screech We are
not exactly prepared to send iron-clads
to Long Island because B, yard is out
rageousiy off .nsive. Respectable Ameri-
cans who stand in neither with Cleve-
land nor Harrison are nearly as much
disguised with the affair as English
men"
DOES IT HURT?
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses the
hope that "the ire of the Democratic
wire pullers is now assuaged CIeve
land could do no more without throw
ing Lord Sackville into Jail. What
silly business it is all through. The
British consolation is that President
Clevelsnd's echpses Lord Sackville's in
discretion. 1t is one thing to be tricked
into making slip in private, but it is
quite different thing to plunge head
long into an abyss of folly and i'll
showing Us the stlliest man in Wash
ington not born in England"
IT DOES, INDEED.
The Star IT. P. O'Connor's paper)
says: "Baysrd puts it pretty strong.
The Irish vote is so pressing, and the
desire to satisfy him so urgent that
Cleveland cannot wait until Salisbury
takes action. The incident furnishes
fresh evidence of the paramount influ-
eDce of the Irish vote IN Anglo -Ameri-
can politics"
"oER COUSINS sHoRTsIGHTEDNEss."
The Globe says: "Unhappily fer
America in one sense, happily in an
other, the character of minister and
journalist to buster during an election
Is comprehended by politicians of some
sort better than even among the best
informed persons here. 1t is under
stood as a portion of q great scheme
which everybody sees through, but
in which, nevertheless, everybody
affects TO believe whichever party
scolds England loudest will win. Lord
Salisbury preserved England's dignity
by not indulging Mr.. Baysrd's desire
to hurry over what is only a piece OF
election strategy. As far as England is
concerned, the matter is over. Our My
cause of shame is that those we call our
cousins are capable of such a short
sighted folly. Both of the leaders
chosen work upon whatever, anti English
feeling exists, anu bid for it by competi-
tio1. If Mr.. ClevelaEd is re-elec:ed, it
will be as the President whose Secretary
n Sfat Rrit inic !,
pas ports and snapped his fingers in the
face OF Downing Street. 1t will be a
perilous character he will have earned
because il will have TO be maintained.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
The Daily News says: The sugges-
ton to retaliate CT Mr.. Phelps is creti-
cally illogical and practically foolish
in again justifying Mr.. Cleveland's
course" The NeaUS maintains that if
he had ignored the matter and hap
pened 10 be successful in the coming
election, Harrison would probably have
seized the first chance to intimate that
Lord SackVille's room was preferable to
his company.
A RUDENEss MONOPOLY.
The DAILY Chronicle says: with
every desire that President Cleveland
aud Secretary Bayard should enjoy the
monopoly of their rudeness, it is i'm
possible to submit to having our repre-
sentative treated like a Chinese coolie
or Irish p2uper emigrant. There need
be no heat displayed, but if England is
to remain self-respecting nation, her
minister must not be slow to resent so
deep an insult to the nationsI dignity"
THE BLUSTERER.
The Standard says: Ought we to
turn our cheek to the smiter, send an
other ambassador to Washington and
