The Union League Club is an aristocrauc
affair, made up entirely Of Republicans A
number OF admirers OF Secretary Bristow
put up his name for membership. expecting,
as matter Of course, that gentleman so
well known and so high, socially. POLITICAL
ly. and IN every other way, would be &C
eepted without question. For BristOw's
becoming member would honor the club
thousand times more than the club would
honor him. Now, by the laws Of the club,
one vote in ten adverse to candidate, kills.
and when the ballot was taken it was found
that there were twelve black-bails-twO
more than enough to defeat him. There
was the widest excitement when the result
was made known. The black-balling Of the
Secretary was denounced by the Oldest and
best members as an outrage. and anxious
inquiries were made for the men who did il,
but they could not be found. The matter
would possess no significance, were it not
for the manner in which it was done. 1t
was evident that the party doing it could
have commanded fifty votes if it had been
necessary, and It Is also evident tina, it was
intended as & stab at Bristow's Presidential
prospects. The next morning in Albany.
as soon a. it became known. certain politi-
Clans were talking that it would be OF no
use TO nominate man who e0nld not be
elected TO the Union League Club. showing
that the programme had been arranged be
foreAand, and that the black bali.ng was
the beginning OF raid upon Bristow. The
effect mas not been, however, what the con-
spirators intended The Republicans Of

included, are indignant al the outrage and
