AMBASSADOR BAYARD's VIEWS.
A oablegram from London says:
United States Ambassador Bayard
received last evening from the London
offices OF the Associated Press dis
patches regarding the elections A
representative OF the Associated Press
had an interview with Mr.. Bayard to-
day, when the ambassador said
"The keynote that rises above the
confusion and excitement and reioices
my ear is that the people OF the United
States, guided by the instincts OF pa
triotism and self preservation, regard
less OF past party affiliations. have un-
mistakably repudiated reputation in
any form and instructed those who
seek official power that they must at
least assume "a virtue, II they have II
not. and that public and private obliga-
tions must be placed beyond the reach
OF the political Jack Cades OF this
country. It will strongly tend to re-
establish national confidence in the
stability and security OF property en-.
trusted TO Democratic governments anc
g. to harmonize international interests
) and assist good relations"
