STRIP FOR TIE FIGHT.

| The Democracy Lave thrown off the
mask: They have confronted the tele-
graph. Like Tweed, when denounced by
Tilden for his fragrant course, Democracy
says, eyes; we are for and against every
single principle that we have ever ayowed.
Yes; We intend to carry each State on the
issues popular in that State. We intend
to grant dispensation Of opinion, and an
! absolution for political fraud. What are
you going to do about it?' Such is the
arrogant avowal and the insulting demand
Of the Democracy.
We really do not know what is to be
done to meet in argument party which
takes the strongest side ON every question.
The Democratic projections. is to carry
Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Connect
cut-the Democratic rag miller is to
triumph in Ohio-the hard money Demo-
crat in Maryland, and the freetrader in
Mississippi.
We will state, however, what would be
the Republican campaign plan We're it our
province TO prescribe it:
!. The removal and punishment of all
unworthy officials. as is now being done
by the administration of President Grant
2. The demonstration that, as the Re.
publican party. has fixed the domestic
and foreign policy Of the country; it can
devise and carry out the best measures to
give effect 10 these principles.
The statesmen of the Republican party,
especially those of the West, should pro-
pose some. plan Of practical measures cal
culated to relieve the stagnatlon Of Ameri-
can industry, to give more market for
American productions, and thereby more
relief to American industry.
With complete agreement Of all
parties to accept Republican principles,
the popular anxiety is stimulated to de-
mand federal policy restorative Of ma
tional prosperity and progress.
As an initiative must be presented, we
suggest to the Republican Central Com
mittee of Louisiana the consideration Of |
the programme which follows: 1t at least
embodies some propositions Of progress,
and construes the assertion of Republican !
principles with their continued and prac-
tical application. They are intended as
suggestions to the party here and else
where. They are particularly commended
to Senators Morton and Logan as recon-
mending measures calculated to open
market for the surplus of production of
the West, and as thereby tending to stop
the drain of specie for tropical products,
and relieve the Western farmer and me.
chanic Of European competition. The
resolutions suggested are as follows:
WHEREAS, The Republican party having
established the great principle of human
equality before the law throughout the
jurisdiction OF the United States, with tho
entire acquiescence of the whole people, |
enforced by the concurrent authority of
every department of the federal and State |
governments, feels itself prepared to march |
forward upon it's mission of commenting |
this great principle to universal adoption
by the sole and insuperable force Of argu- !
ment and example wherever despotism

tense.
Whereas, The continued progress OF this
great principle upon the continent of
America will depend greatly upon the close !
relations Of the American States |
and the free international intercourse of
the American people, it will be best con- |
summated by combining the republican
States in grand continental commercial
alliance, under which the supremacy of
republican institutions will be maintained
against the invasion of any form of human
rule incompatible with the principle stated.
Whereas, The unprecedented develop
ment of American industry has creatad q
surplus OF food and of manufactures far in
excess of domestic consumption or Of for
sign demand, while the cheapness of
European labor has, with the cost of trans
portation between the American interior
ind the markets OF Europe, rendered the

prospective productions of our country very
