STRIPPING FOB THE FIGHT.
Alr. Hahn has taken the proper view O
; Republican vitality when he said sstha
the Republican party was only undergo.
ing publication process by Kidding itsel
/ OF the bad men who had fastened upon it,
The party will hold strict survey and
inspection upon every man in position,
and rule after the custom Of all well organ
liked armies send all the weak and
wounded to the rear before going into the
engagement
| The New York Tribune has shown that
the establishment Of Republican prin-
ciples has SO far relieved the people
that they can assert and insist upon the
publication Of the party. It is palpable
that in every established religion or party,
many men who have no motive except
personal advantage will profess the
dominant sentiment, in order to
gain position in which they
can profit by their professions. No one
supposes that Tweed was q Democrat on
principle. or that be either comprehended
or respected principle of any kind He
found the key of the city treasury kept
under the pillow of Democracy. He
offered his services as Democratic do
nestle, only that he might get at the key.
Nothing more. The Democracy found
that the people attributed his frauds to
bis Democracy, and they repudiated
Democracy. So the Democracy were
compelled to arrest Tweed, and clap him !
into the penitentiasy, that it may be seen
through his bars that here is The man the
Democracy delight to dishonor The
Republicans had set the example by con-
victing Cakes Ames and accomplices of an
attempt to get into the national treasury
under the guise of Republicans. All pol
ltical parties are now convinced that the
old theory was fallacious. That theory
was that in winking ct the personal thefts
OF partisan rogues, they would like other |
robbers condone for their thefts by
dedicating part Of their 'spoils to the |
success OF their party. But the people |
do not see the propriety of increased |
debt and taxation oecasioned by the COM
blnatiop OF ring rogues of both parties,
when the taxes rest upon the people and
the spoiis 60 to the. partisans CT to the
parties which they represent
The Republican party has established
the administration principle of the Union.
Shall it, then, be degraded and driven
from the admins traaion of these prin-
ciples by the rapacity At men who care for
principle as little as;Tweed did, and who
may expect to compound for the injury
inflicted on the party character by few
thousand dollars subscribed to a campaign
fund. This fraud, that men who steal for
themselves in the name of party must be
by the full strength of the
party, has been played entirely out with
III parties. The people no longer tolerate
'uch an impudent assumption. 1t is as
t the swindler at faro or keno should pro.
'itiate society by subscription to q
church.
Mr.. Hahn has indicated the course
which the Republicans and the heads of
ne Republican party intend to pursue. {
they are preparing for atruggle Of no ,
ommon magnitude, not, it is true, in {
diving the success of their principles, {
ut the administration of their principles, t
nd they intend to inspect every man who ! r
proposes to enter the campaign. He $
aust be morally sound and intelligent: /
e must be sincere in his principles and I
BILE to defend them. He must be free G

hronic defect of record The Repub-
can party can not, in the hour and atti- s
ade Of battle, take time to defend the a

lers. 1t will go into action with n
lort swords and locked bucklers. If g.
~ mans hand can not keep his head, il
any falter in the march to the assault, W
lch feeble warriors must be trodden be- b
cath the feet of the stalwart men whose W
cry sinew is strained for the defeat of n,
e foe. We should advise all such weak If
reed warriors to keep out of combat Of
which none but soldiers with sound al
cord and an active form will be wanted, | AZ
indeed allowed to participate. e
