A Movement On Foot to Get Sackville
West Reapr ointed.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA.
The Heralds Washington despatch says
that there is the highest authority for the
state ment thai an effort is being made to Sc
cure the reappointment of Lord Sackyille as
minister to tins country, Fhen the Harrison
administration comes into power. The argu-
meat in favor OF the movement is that the
British minister was sacrificed To meet po-
litical exigency, that the magnitude of his
offence was greatly exaggerated by reason
of the political conditions they existed at
the time, and that the deliberate Judgment
of the American people, after the matter
shall have been dspassIonately looked at,
will be favorable to his appointment.
1t is not known that Lord Saekville is a
party to this system, but certain OF his
friends have interested themselves in the
matter, with what success cannot be con.
jectured.

James NJ. Dougherty, an awkward looking

Dougherty seems to be simple minded and
says he first saw and fell in love with the
actress six years ago. at Elmira where she
played in the Lady of Lyons. He tried TO
obtain an interview but failed, and follow ed
her to New York. then to England, sending
her notes and bouquets innumerable, but was
always debarred from an interview as he
believed by rivals, who conspired against
him
big revolver was found on his person
and was doubtless intended for use upon
these jealous rivals. He believed that Miss
Anderson was as much in love with him as
he with her, but was prevented from seeing
him.
