IN 1DMIRARLE INDICTMENT.

One of the most important functions of Re-
publican clubs is To Afford opportunities for the
public discussion of political qucstions.I We
are glad to notice that one of the largest ward
organizations in Brooklyn has prolited by the
counsel so often given in these columns. In
stead of holding unnteresting sessions for the
consideration OF routine business, the revision
of the roll of membership or petty points of
ORDER it has opened "a course of lectures IN II
largc public hail. This is an admirable idea
The Republican party is made up OF intelligent
citizens who think as well rs vote. Appeals
must constantly be made to their understand
ing, if their political support is to be pcrma-
ncntly held. What better method of engaging
their attention and commanding their respect
can be devised than that OF presenting the
broadcast questions of politics from the lecture
platforms The movement organized in the
Seventh Ward of brooklyn is one that ought to
be extended not only to other wards, but to
other cities in this State. We are pleased to
learn that the example has already been fol-
lowed by other organizations, and that two of
the lectures are to be repeated several times
before the fall campaign opens.
The second lecture, Of which some of the more
striking passages will be found on another page,
is causlic review Of the "Principles of
Thomas Jefferson, with incisive references to
the present Administration. Mr.. Kennedy's
analysis of the cardinal doctrines of tho Demo-
cratic faith is characterized by keen intelligence
as we'll as wit. 1t is only merciless and cold
blooded as a dissection Of the ostentatious
claims and hypocrltical cant which have been
based upon Jciicrson's political principles 1t is
well known that President Cleveland has de-
voted considerable time since his election to an
exhaustive study of the first Democratic Prcsi-
dents inaugurals. messages, correspondence and
political adventures and experiences; and on
this account some of the parallels drawn in this
address are exceedingly effective.

passed, the Democratic party in National Con-
yenton formally denounced that act and de-
manded It's repeal that the country was filled,
only few months ago, with the clamor OF
Democratic orators and demagogues who in
sisted that there was a vast surplus or
800, 100000 or $4O0,O0O,0O0 of idle money
in the Treasury, which it was the duty of the
Administration to pay out Immediately. Yet
the first duty of President Cleveland has been
to assail the silver heresies of his party to insist
upon honest money, and to declare that the
Treasury held not cent more money than IL
was required to hold by the laws and by It's
solemn obligations.
OF course, it angers Democrats to elect a
President and then find him adopting and en-
forcing Republican policies. The silver Demo-
Gratis have been boiling over ever since
February the free trade Democrats began to
boil as soon as it was seen that Mr.. Randall had
the upper hand in the Cabinet; and the great
majority of Democrats, who detest the Republl-
can Civil Service policy, have been raving ever
since Mr. Cleveland began to recognize that
policy in his action. His departures from 1t
have been many and discreditable, but the
world sees in them the almost irresistible IN
huence Of a great party, ravenous Tor spolls, ana
utterly regardless Of the public welfare. Inc
Presidents errors damage the party which
elected him, while everything he does that IS
right and wise is found to be in line with Re-
publican principles, and reflects credit upon the
Republican party.
