upon themselves to investigate Mr. Blaine, record.
But If the abstract of the official testimony has
been honestly made and the summary Is not 10 be
used as a campaign document, but for the private
informal on Of the members no harm has been done.
There is nothing in the official record to deter any
honest man from voting for the Republican ticket.
Those who favor Mr. Blaine will now have lu OPP
portunity of saying and requesting the governing
committees 10 call meeting of the club next
month The cluh has done good work in the cause
of municipal reform. We have no desire To hatelt

We are convinced are acting from SINCERE II mis-

opportunity of expressing their will. But there can
be- no cXcuse for the investigation of Blame d th'
