The Marquess of Ripon to the Earl of Glasgow.
Telegraphic.
[Answered by Nos. 13 and 14].
24 September 1892.—I have carefully considered your Despatch of 8th August*, and appreciate difficulties of your position, but I have no hesitation in advising you to accept your Ministers' advice.
It does not appear to be a case of swapping the Legislative Council. The Division lists of that body should be considered rather than politics of Premiers who originally nominated the Members.
I will state fully my reasons by Despatch, but you should at once re-open matter with your Ministers and waive your objections to their proposals.
The Agent General is anxious for information which I cannot withhold after to-morrow, but I am anxious to give you an opportunity of making your own announcement to vour Ministers.
