BROOKLYN YOUNG REpUBLICAyS

Certain e-trade zealots have sought to
commit the Brooklyn Young Republican Club
against the Chicago nominations The Execu-
tive Committee has wisely declined to act with
precfpitate haste and to attempt to array the
organization in opposition to Mr.. Blaine. Any
attempt of that nature would have been de-
feated by the rank and file of the club, and the
action of the governing committees would have
created bad feeling and possibly have led to the
disruption of the organization. This would
have been a great misfortune, for this body of
amateur canvassers and independent thinkers
has done splendid service i'll behalf of munic
ipal reform. THE TRIBUNE has frequently
had occasion TO commend the objects and
methods of the club and will sincerely regret
any action Oh the part of the governing com
mittees that may paralyze the influence of the

POLITICAL LOGIC.

We do not quite understand the logic of those
Republicans who believe that they can sup
port the party by defeating its nominees. The
object in supporting party is to put 1t in pos
session of the Government; and if there is any
way of giving it control of the Government
without eecting its candidates, that way has
not been revealed TO us. Hence the position Of
those Independent fragments who declare that
they are the only good and true Republicans,
and will never waver in their fidelity to the
grand old party, yet mean to do all they can to
beat the Republican candidate, seems to us the
extreme of unreason. 1t may possibly be their
intention to return to the party at some future
day but ut present, since they are labOrng for
the success Of Democratic candidates and Dem
ocratic principles, they are Democrats. They
may call themselves something else; but that
is what they are.
The attitude of The Ne,C- York Times is at least
ineligible. That paper refuses to support Mr..
Blaine, but declares at the same moment that
he is unquestiOnably the choice of the Republic
can masses, and that he exactly represents the
policy, character, tendency and wishes of the
party. 1t rejects him, not because it considers
him q bad Republican, but precisely because he
is an ideal Republican That is clear and
frank 1t sets the paper in its true place, as an
avowed opponent of Republicanism and al
though some of its readers may think that its
sentiment toward the party has been dissem-
bled rather too long, there will be no complaint
that.it is ambiguous any longer.
Voters will not be deceived as to the situation.
They can no more vote for an abstraction than
they can vote for George Washington. What
ever may have been the force of the Indepen-
dents arguments before the Convention, the
case is altered since the issue has been made
up. 1t was the duty as well as the privilege of
Republican leaders and Journalists to adviseSthe
party according to their best judgment while
the choice of a candidate was open. But now
that the party has made up its mind, the men
whose advice was not followed must take their
choice, either to leave the party or to submit to
it. There is no middle course.

THE TTCHBORSE CLAIMANT

The announcement of the intended liberation
of the Tichborne Claimant Oh ticket Of leave
recalls public attention to case which, while
possessing exceptional interest in itself, offers
several very singular side experiences. The
most remarkable fact about the case really is
the survival of mistaken belief in the genuine
ness of the Claimants pretensiOns, in consd-
cradle faction of Englishmen, many of whom
are not uneducated men. 1t may well be ques-
toned if it be possible to prove anything more
clearly and convincingly than the imposture of
the Claimant was proved. The examination
and cross examination III the two trials left no
point unsearched, and the charge of Lord Chief
Justice COckburn to the jury on the second
trial constitutes one of the most magnificent
pieces of judicial analysis and illustration ex-
tant. The simple truth IL that the Claimant
was turned inside out, and his identity with
Arthur Orton alias Castro, was demonstrated
beyond rational doubt. But the result
showed that preconceived prejudice will, with
many minds, more than offset the most conclusive
evidence. A number of people got il into their
heads that the Claimant was being prosecuted
by the aristocracy, and though the real basis of
heir kindly feeling TO him was an unconscious
belief in the lOwness of his origin-that is to
say, in the fact Of his imposture-they never
perceived this but thought they were standing
up for justice Many of these people continue
to believe i'll the fellow, and il is said they are

members in the useful and necessary work oil
mrifying local administration. The decision
70 postpone n meeting Of the club until the
autumn is cmnentiy judicious. AT that time
spccial causes of disappointment and prejudice
will have ceased TO operate, and the club will
have no difficulty in entering heartily into the
Presidential canvass. The Brooklyn Young
Republican Club was organized during the
Garfield campaign. II won its spurs IN helping
TO elect candidate who had been grossly ma
ligned and ferociousy attacked. twill, we arc
confident do equally good work in behalf OF
President Garfclds Secretary OF State, and not
be deferred by stale scandals and exploded cal
umnics which tho conscience and common
sense of the great mass of Republican voters
have dismissed as beneath contempt.
The president of the club, Mr.. Nichols, is
reported 10 have said that n sub-c committee
would be appointed to examine the files of The
Congressional Record and to investigate the
various charges made by Mr.. Dlane's enemies
sOn the Committee of Five" he adds, shall
appoint men of both shades of opinion-those
who believe the stories and those who do not"
Now for our own part, we have no objection to
offer to the investigation proposed. If the com
mittee will 90 to the files of The Congressional
Record and examine the evidence without
prejudice, their inquiry can have emily one
result. The evidence does not convict, and
cannot be made to convict. The committee. If
constituted of unprecedented men, will report in
the fall so emphatically in favor of the Republi-
can candidates that the club will take an active
part in the canvass But the method of APP
pointing the subcommittee is open to criticism.
Men who have made up their minds decisivey
on one side or the other DO not make good jury
men. In like manner it would be the least
satisfactory course to commit this business of
impartial investigation to those who are con-
vinced at the outset that Mr.. Blaine is either
guilty or innocent. Then as a matter of mathe-
MATES, it is impossible to give friend and foe
equal representation in committee of five
members The fifth man would be too import
ant parsonage to render the Judgment of such
committee Of much value. The Young
Republicans will do better to organize their
committee in some other way. Long before
September, however, they will have ascer-
tanned that scandal-mOngers and partisan
libellers have exhausted public patience and
that the Republicans have entered upon an ag-
gressive canvass in which all loyal members of
the party young as we'll as old, can heartily

Mr.. GLADSTOYPS NILE POLICY.


Egyptian policy apparently is the rock on
which Mr. Gladstones Ministry will run
aground before many weeks Rumors of a
crisis have prevailed in London during the last
week. and Mr. Gladstone is reported to be pre-
pairing what may prove to be his last speech in
the Commons. The preliminaries of the Con-
ference have been settled, but the bases of the
agreement negotiated with France have not
been disclosed, and 1t is suspected through
out England that the Government have
compromised the National honor by I'M
necessary concessions. The tone of the
Paris press is peculiarly exasperatiDg, and
Englishmen are not in a mood for accepting
any policy that will strengthen the position of
France in Egypt. That the Ministry have been
forced to make concessions OF some sort to
Premier Ferry in order to obtain his consent TO
the Conference seems inevitable and when the
agreement is disclosed Liberals and Tories will
prepare for Il decisive division in the Commons.
Both parties are now making active prepara-
tiOns for a dissolution OF Parliament. MI.
Parncll appreciates the importance of the
approaching struggle, which may give his third
Party commanding influence in the Parliamen-
tary situation our special cable dispatches
indicate that in the event OF Ministerial de-
feat, Mr.. Gladstone will not resign, but will
Immediately dissolve Parliament. AS the Re
form Bill has now virtually passed the Com
mons andis at the mercy of the Upper House, the
Premier will not be without an issue of com.
handing importance, on the strength of which
he may appeal to the country.
The account given of the massacre at Berber
is so circumstantal that it is generally
accepted in London. The rumOr of a speedy
advance of the Mahdis adhercnts upon
Dongola has also been revived, and the
panic -mcngers at Cairo arc bestirring them
selves in every direction. All these reports
and cOnectures are TO be accepted with extreme
caution. Cairo has been for months q hOtbed
of intrigue and mGndacity, the bOndholders'
agents and the Khedives favorites working
sometimes in conjunction, but Oftener at cross
purposes. The wOrthlessness of all tidings from
the Nile, whether from Obeid, KhartOum, Ber-
Der or Dongola, has been apparent for many
weeks The dispatches have been either
dictated by Zebehr's secret allies or have
been colored by bondholders apprehensions
and intrigues. SO little reliance can be
placed OH what passes current as the
news of the day in Cairo that the dispatches re-
latlnBtO tne nlaSSlcre III DeTDtr are not even
now, although thrice confirmed, to be implicitly
believed. The town is said to have been cap
tured on May %, yet the Government profess
to have had official information from the gar
rison as late az June 3. Outside KhartOum an
additional massacre win not however, seriously
affect the fortunes of the Liberal Ministry. 1t
is for their policy in lower Egypt that the Gov
eminent will be Judged ultimately by the con-
stituencies. The adoption of scheme of
multiple control would be regarded as a sur
render of all that was gained at Tel-el- Kebir.

The list of the Committee Of One Hundred" APP
pointed By the so.called Independent Republicans
of Massachusetts,, looks if it had been published
before. Upon inspection, it appears to be very
much the same list that was published with en-
thusasm by the free-trade organizers in 1871.
substantially the same list turned mp in connection
with a Fifth Avenue conference in 1876. to demand
the nomination of Mr. Bristow. If the Democratic
party wOnld take the whole list on board IN 1851
it would not gain forty votes, but it would help
Blaine and Logan wonderfully.

There never was any ground for charging the
Secretary Of the Treasury, or his subordl-
mates, with corruption in the purchase
of a site for a public building in Brook
lyn. The Democratic Committee of the House,
winch investigated the subject, has made re-
port generating the Treasury Department.
The truth is that the Secretary is entitled to
credit for his action in this matter. The ap-
pronriation was ridculOusly small for the pur-
pose of erecting public building in the third
city of the Nation. In the way such matters
are usually conducted, Secretary Folger would
have been justihed in expanding nearly the
entire sum for site, anticipating a further
appropriation for the building. He was asked
to do that, but refused. In his endeavor to
comply with the strict letter of the law, and
purchase a site at price which would leave
sufficient from the sum already appropriated
to put up building, he incurred the i'll will OF
the persons who made the absurd charges OF
corruption. The House Committee has SEN
siby asked to be discharged from further con
sideration of the matter.

The manner in which the amateur yachtsmen
on the Oracle and Oriva took their yachts
around the Sandy Hook Lightship yesterday
in the Seawanhaka regatta was highly credit
able TO themselves and their club. When
men become sailors and face such winds and
seas as were encountered yesterday merely for
the love of the sport it is proof that the mari
time spirit of the country is not dead. Only
those who have tried similar experiments know
what skill, courage and labor are involved in
such work as the Oracle and Oriva did yester-
day. Cutter men will hail the performance OF
the Oriva with delight
