expressed itself in the most emphatic
manner possible under the circum-
stances, namely: in the demand that
Lord SackvilIe be sent home. Presi-
dent Cleveland is in sympathy with
this popular sentiment, and although
the minister is his personal friend and
evidently thought to do him kindness
politically, has promptly instructed our
minister to Great Britain to inform
Prime Minister Salisbury without
delay that Sackville's immediate re-
call is desirable. Mr.. Cleveland acts
like an American, like President and
like a statesman. He will be ap-
plauded by ali loyal citizens of the Re-
public, without regard to party, and
Minister West will go to his home dis
praced
