...dignified participation in political affairs, even in a strictly partisan way." Evidently, from this, some liberalist, best-man sentiment was in the air to call out an otherwise pointless apology. Of these two ancient rivals, the Republican Club was the longer lived, and as an Oxonian remarked, "It outdid any society for diffusion of knowledge-or ignorance!"
