NOTES FROM NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT. i A Cunning Plan for the DUeufranchiacmetit of Votes—The Ladies all Democrats This Year—BeU of Candy, Gloves | and Kisses Made, Etc. New York, Oct. 31.-.Two of the iboard of police commissioners are repub¬ licans and two are democrats, one Tam¬ many man and one county democrat. •The police commissioners have charge of |the election arrangements, the selection and hum Mr ‘of 'potting' places and the choice of inspectors.

Each of those tickets must be put in a separate box and separately recorded. Brsides, the voter’s name and residence must lie given. They must be compared in tiie books of t lie various inspectors and recorded in them ull. This takes time. One vote in a minute, or 600 in the 10 hours that the polls are open is considered quick time, and as the mass or the voters come early in the morning or in the afternoon, there are lulls in the stream of voters; so the law has provided jtkat election districts of over 400 voters are to be subdivided to enable every man to cast his vote. law,the Notwithstanding police the provisions of the commissioners added only -14 election districts to accommodate an increase of almost 50,000 voters. The result is that there are 317 districts with more than 400 voters, and one election district ■with more than 1,000 voters. It is a physical impossibility under the present system for more than 75 votes an hour to be polled, and it is estimated that un¬ less provision is mado more than 12,000 voters will be disfranchised.

SACKVILLE’S WRATH The British Minister Disgusted Over the Affair. HE RECEIVES THE NOTIFICA¬ TION TO LEAVE Foreign legation* that lie fchoiiltl De Uncalled for HU IndWrction— Heniutttnn In Washington — Tupper Mny Succeed. Washington, Oct. 31.—Lord Sackville is said to have privately intimated to his friends his intention to quit the ptstt of British minister immediately upon noti¬ fication by Salisbury. Ho says ho is thoroughly disgusted at tlie way Ameri¬ can i*qlit£gt are -carried on. and says he cannot understand why the friendship of such a power as Great Britain should have any effect on the presidential elec¬ tion, He can scarcely bring about a be¬ lief that the administration is sincere, he says, Washington, Oct. 31.—The greatest sensation of the capital continues to be the manly, straight forward action of the administration in requesting Lord Sackville's recall. Nearlyall the foreign ambassadors express themselues as being greatly surprised that the ininistercould be guilty of such a fatal indiscretion and think that his recall from a lucrative and honorable post is a just punishment. Secretary Bayard has refused to give out any th ing in regard to the spirit in which the communications of the United States were received by the British gov¬ ernment. The matter ; ho taid, was the subject of letters or messager between two parties, and neither, he said, hail the right to give out the contents of these communications without the consent of the other. What had taken place be¬ tween the president and himself he had given to tlie press, but the other correr pondenee he did not feel at liberty to make public. Perhaps the strongest and most forci¬ ble passage in the in itification by Seere. tary of State Bayard to Minister West, lies in its closing paragraph: It therefore becomes necessary for this government to consider whet her, as guar¬ dian of Its own respect and of the integ¬ rity of its institutwps, it will permit a further intercourse to be held through the present British minister at this capi¬ tal. It is to lie observed that precedents are not wanting as to tlie question under consideration. It sets a bad rule, and is essential to the maintenance of Interna¬ tional intercourse, that diplomatic repre¬ sentative* must be persona grata to the government to which he is accredited. If, by his, conduct, he renders himself persona non grata, an announcement of the fact may be made to his government. In the present case all the requirements of the comity- have been fulfilled, the facts her having been duly communicated to pression majesty’s of opinion government with an ex¬ of this government m regard thereto. New York, Oct. 31.— [Special.]-The papers of this morning make the follow¬ ing editorial comments on President Cleveland's action regarding the Suck- viHe incidentr The Sun says: “If Mr. Cleveland has erred in his treatment of this annoying incident, it has teen on the side of over- deliberation, an>l yet it may be thought that the humiliation of the'British gov¬ ernment is greater, since it failed to take advantage fered of the loophole of escape of¬ World; it by Mr. Cleveland.”' “It i* well that Lord Sack¬ ville is to go. The lesson will not be lost upon other distinguished diplomats. England will think better of us, and re- publican politicians who have been counting upon the bugaboo provided by the saggy British minister will probably learn that after all this is not a day of smali things.” Tribune: "It has taken the president ti n days to tind out that something had to be done about it. At last he has done what was demanded from the very first. But the president waited too long." Herald: “What we believe the better sense of the American people will con¬ clude is that tlie president has allowed his temper to ; ct the tetter of his judg¬ ment in his manner of dealing with this matter. We r< gret that in the treatment of this case he has. under the evil influ¬ ence of the incapable and hysterical sec¬ retary <*f state, acted in a way to forfeit something of the higher opinion which his fellow-citizens had of him." Times: “The incident is ended in a manner ministration altogether creditable to the ad¬ tlie least possible at harm.” Washington, and with London, Oct. 31,—The Standard, com- mentingon President Cleveland's action in the Sackville matter, says: If the intelligence we publish this morning from Washington be substan¬ tially accurate in its verbal details, the American government has taken sum¬ mary action of a deliterateiy offensive kind, in relation to Lord Sackville. Mr. sador Bayard has informed the British ambas¬ (hat for reasons already known to the Bnglish government," his con¬ tinuance is no longer acceptable, and would consequently lie detri¬ mental to the relations between the countries.
