The Marquis of Salisbury at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London on Friday night used the following language: "With respect to foreign affairs, there is not on the surface much to notice. Perhaps you will say that we have received a reminder that popular institutions exist in the West. No doubt events have taken place which will belong, I think, rather to the history of electioneering than to the history of diplomacy. But if we have any cause to complain of the statesmen who rule in Washington our complaint is purely individual and does not involve the two nations. (Cheers.) For I think that I am entitled to say, after what took place on Tuesday, that the statesmen who rule in Washington have not commended themselves to the approval of the people of the United States."
