rpy TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
washington. Nov 2-The fact that the dismissal
NJ Iord sachylIe was the result OF understanding
between Lord Salisbury, Minister Phelps and the
President which was stated In last nights dispatches
is confirmed by the London correspondent OIL Inc
Manchester England Guardian who is understood 70
have exceptional facilities for obtaining inside informa-
ton In regard to affairs at the British Foreign occ
Such a bargain places Mr.. Cleveland In such an un-
favorable light that its existence could scarcely be
credited at first and the few here to whom the fact
was limited Yesterday hestaied tn accept the rumor
as true The confirm atlon however from one having
confidential relations with tho British Premier leaves
no room to doubt that such compact was ha'o
between the President and the Tory Enghsh rro".''
and that Lord sackville was mado scapegoa' III "uo
to aid in the reelection of Mr. Cl'veand anu 10 ro'a
in power the Democratic party for Enganhs oenon''
To.nieht belief in the bargain has become more
general ana some Democrats do not hesitate 10 say
that Il was sharp trick the part OF the fcsoo.
The demands for the removal OF Secretary Bay aru
are increasing and there Is great pressure o.'"e
brought to bear upon the President to remove h"'
at once shrewd Democratic politicians reailo ho"
that the catering to the South, which has pech
strong characteristic OF Mr. Cleveands Adminis'ra
tIon has had q disastrous effect In every Northern
State They SEQ too that tho effect OF the Presi-
dents pension has been to wholly ALLEVIATE the
soldier VOTE and they are really alarmed at the pres
ent condition OF things. The dismissal OF LORD BACK
VILE has not had the electrifying effect upon the
Irish Americans that expected for they are TOO
intelligent class Of voters not to understand that
Lord sackvlle expressed the true English affection
for the Democratic party, and that his dismissal was
purely for political effect and not the result OF
patrotic impulse They think that the immediate
dismissal OF Mr. Bayard for the laundering capacity
and incompetency which he has shown all through MS
administration would tend to BRING to the Democratic
party a large portion OF the Irish vote. They THINK
too II would have favorable effect upon the solder
vote for they know that Bayard sympathzed with
the South during the entire war and that his cele-
brsted Dover speech was positively reasonable so
his prompt dismissal Is urged as another political
necessity
1t is not likely that the President will yield to
this pressure this time, for, as was shown IN as'
nights dispatches Mr. Cleveland has been In thorough
accord with tho Of tho Secretary OF State anu
has supported him at every point. But the iact
that such action is suggested shows the desperate
straits to which the Democrats reduced.
There IS practically nothing new In the SacRvile
affair. The Minister himself does not appear 10 DO
at all worried but Is easy and ahaole as thougn
nothing unpleasant had occurred. He has as yet
made preparations 10 leave the city. he was 10
day granted permission from the Treasury Department.
10 import free Of duty, certain family plate when
has been from England and which has prooaois
come to him by Inheritance tho death OF the late
Lord sackvile. He made his application TO the De-
partment to have this silver admitted free OK duty
last Tuesday at the very time when Secretary Bayard
was running to and from tho White House ana inc
state Department determine the exact phraseoiogy
OF his letter OF dismissal" 1t is customary to allow
all foreign Ministers to bring into this country nSr
personal effects FREQ of duty, but II Is one OF inc
humorous features of this unfortunate affair that when
Lord sackvlle made his application 70 me ireast b
| Department he Her MaIestys Minister 10 ths
United states and that when the permission asked
for was granted he had been told that he would no
longer be recognized here in his Official capacity
