New York, July 27.-The first polih-
cal kick of the year came from Brooklyn,
and that city is attending strictly to busi>
ness in keeping up its objections. Blaine
is now informed that the Young Republi
can club of Brooklyn. the largest and
richest republican organization in the
country, refuses to support him. Some
time since the club appointed a committee
to investigate the record of Blaine with
the intention of accepting or rejecting him
on the report made The committee i'm
mediately began work, got up its report,
submitted II to private meeting OF the
club, and the consequence was that Blaine
was declared to be unfit in the estimation
of the club for the presidential chair. and
he was formally rejected. Tomorrow the
club will issue thousands of the printed
reports, accompanied by an address of the
executive and advisory committees,
strongly denouncing Blaine. While this
proceeding meets with the approval of
six>sevenths of the club membership, the
remaining seventh is made up of Blaine
friends To avoid trouble in the club, it
has been decided to hold aloof from in
dorsing any presidential candidate, leav>
ing the members free to vote for whom
they please as individuals. while as club
they will devote their attention to con-
gressional, state, and local Offices The
club is in peculiar predicament and its
action will cause number of complica>
tiOns. In at least two congressional dis
tricts in Kings county the republican can
didates will be elected, while the demo-
cratic candidate for president will have
majorities in the same district.
Carl Schurz says that in his opinion the
independent movement is directed wholly
at Blaine, and will not affect congression-
al, state or local offices.
The independent headquarters were
closed today. The republicans were very
busy So far, not a solitary answer has
been received to the circulars asking fol
contributions Chairman Jones feels con
fdent that money will come pouring in
this week. Secretary John W. Vroomar
says be is not the man to lose his head
and be carried away by the encouraging
reports received daily, but is confident
that Blaine will carry New York state by
rs, 900 over all tickets in the field. Gar
field only received 80 200 majority in the
state, but Vrooman says this year is par
ticularly good for the republicans. Chair
man Sones pcrsistently refuses to talE
politics outside of the committee room.
Congressman Cox, in answer to a ques
ton as to the course he thought TammanJ
likely to take, said: 'Tammany will be
all right. When the time comes the boys
will all be found on deck in line for the
regular ticket. 1t is an organization OF
from fifty to sixty thousand men. and they
know good thing when they see it
They are not going to throw away theil
chances Of the plums that may come tC
them in case the democratic party gets
into power, and they know they can help
in ACCOMPLISHING that result.
