GO by Is il that SO many young men from our
"twO largest colleges Harvard and Yale are in
clined to oppose the Republican party at this
"crislsfr The friend who asks the question Sc
riousiy, it is probable, has been listening with
too generous confidence to the somewhat in
hated boasts of Democrats. There is not so
much of crisis under the wing of his Alma
Mater as he supposes, and not so much else
where as at Haven and Cambridge. But
there is some reason for the question. neverthe-
lcss-a reason not entirely pleasing to those
who love the two great colleges, and desire
their usefulness and prosperity.
There has been growing for some years. in
certain educational az in certain social onar-
tiers, diseased reverence for everything Eng
lish Just as one may find poor "dudes1 in
society, who think it fine to ape English dress
and English manners so the wOrshippcrS of Eng
land are found in literary and educational cir
c.es. At Harvard, for instance, worthy pro-
lessor has filled himself with the idea that the
constitutional monarchy Of reat Britain is the
best and most perfect of all forms of govern
mcnt known among men, and proceeds with
conscientious zeal 10 inculcdtc that idea among
the sons of Americans who come within his
rived at a sublime contempt for American IDEAS
and methods in finance and political economy,
and proceeds 10 teach young men, as far as he
can. to despise the laws and the legislators of
their own country, As a mi-barbarOus and
ignorant set, and to worship British modes OF
taxation and British ideas Of finance.
One may see traces of this kind of instruc-
ton in little things. The young men who get
enough of it TO hurt them, or who have 50 little

4 CHANCE FOR NVESTTGATTON.

Apparently there is some hitch between the
two governing committees Of the Brooklyn
Young Republican Club The summary of the
official evidence taken by the Judiciary Com
niittee OF the House in 1876 has been prepared,
but has not been sent to the members of the
cub The inference is that the committees have
not vet agreed upon the message which they
are to send 10 the members in transmitting the
summary As the club has never asked for an
investigation of Mr. Blaine'S record. and has not
been consulted at any stage of tie proceedings
the governing committees will find it necessary
to explain and justify their action in employing
a subcommittee to examine the Congressional
record and in printing the summary. When
this def, zee is completed the documents will be
sent to the members for their private informa-
ton.
For our own part we have no objection to
offer to the course of the governing committees
in preparing this compilation. The only effect
of the publication will be to increase the Blaine
majority in the club and this is already very
large. We venture, however, to renew the sug-
gestiOn already made to the governing commit
tees. They have no right to confne their in
vcstigations to the Republican side Mr.. Cleve-
land has a record as Governor which should be
critically examined. He has secured the sup
port of corrupt rings in the DemoYatic party in
this city by shielding Sheriff Davidson and
Commissioner Thompson. He has interviewed
actively in their behalf and has defeated the
ends of justice and good government; and in
return for his protection and patronage they
have combined at Saratoga and Chicago TO
nominate him for the Presidency. These facts
can be easily established. We call upon the
governing committees of the Brooklyn Young
Republican Club 10 search the official records
and t. lay before the mombcrs the reports of
the Senate Investigating Committee the find
mgs of the Grand jury the text of the Tenure
of Office bill and the Governors veto. The
action OF tho governing committees must not be
partisan and one-sidcd, but iair-mindcd aud
impartial They have Investigated Mr.. Blaine's
recosi "r~ for the Othcr side. Governor
