— SOME PRESS OPINIONS. [per press association.] Received November 3rd, noon. London, November 2. The Times, in a leading article upou American politics, says that Preeident Cleveland's recent actions hi ye rendered him unworthy to again receive the exalted position he now holds. In most scathing terms the writer proceeds to point out that with regard to the British Minister at Washington both President Cleveland and Mr Bayard acted with unmanly and undignified haste. The abruptness of the United States Secretary's proceedings in the matter are characterised as an insult to England, deliberatelj perpetrated for election purposes. It is clear, the article contends, that Lord S. West's recall had been demanded simply as a dodge to secure the support of the Democrats and Irish and the anti-British vote generally.
