Condemned ny a DEMOCRAT.


Mr.. Harold y. Sewall, Of Maine, who
was our consul general at Apia during the
first administration of President Cleveland,
and also during that OF President Harri-
son. and who has long been prominently
identified with the Democratic party In
Maine. recently refused 20 serve In the
Democratic state convention as delegate
from the town of Bath.
His reason for refusing was that he
thought the convention wonid undoubt-
eddy Indorse the action of the administra-
ton in regard to Hawaii, and that he
could not stultify himself by thus giving
his approval 10 an action which he cannot
but condemn. In his letter declining TO
serve Mr.. Sewall comments most severely
upon President Cleyeland's betrayal of
free government in the Hawaiian islands,
and his futile effort to restore the de-
throned queen.
IAN American" he says, sis now chief
Justice Of Samoa. but President Cleveland
takes the opportunity Of his appointment
to denounce the treaty made By men OF
both parties in a conference. the invitation
for which was accepted by the president
himself Even now he seeks TO surrender
TO our commercial rivals all that We have
won I'm Samoa by costly negotiation and
the lives of our gallant officers aud men. !"
Mr.. Sewali closes his earnest and patri-
otto letter as follows:
sThe platform of the Republicans of
Maine Endorses this act of the Hon. John
J.. Stevens. Ii deserves the Endorsement
Of every party platform Of the state. But
st Is safe 20 presume IL will not receive this
Endorsement at Lewiston. Party necessity
demands a counter declaration. such a
declaration, or even perfunciory praise of
a foreign policy which has been every

IL stands. But TO speak rs | would speak

Bath, and in justice To them and myself |

accept their trust"
AS has been said, Mr.. Sewall has always
been Democrat. and has been numbered
among the leaders OF that party in the
state of Maine. lie has probably given
more thought and attention than has any
Other American to our relations with the
South Sea islands. and, Democrat though
he is, he cannot but condemn the action
of an administration which seeks 70 throw
