New-York tribune., 1878-06-21

for tbe Presidency. but it treats Of the Fraud st
some length and with great eloquence. we nad
occasion in q previous issue to make q
few extracts from this portion OF inc
proclamation. Our readers no doubt remember
them. Nothing more whitening has fallen from
buman lips since Sachem PurToy took his hano
away from Delegate JOnes's jaw at Nyack. h IL
here that the fine figure concerning the turning OF
Iiberty's Temple into a den of thieves occurs.
But Mr.. Schell, although somewhat hampered
bv the relations of the Tammany Society to the
Great Defrauded, did not stop with mere charac-
terzation of the great crime an outbuTst OF non
est Indignation at its successful consummation' ne
felt that the occasion called for something more
than mere words of condemnation IN
Fourth of July invitation. He could not Oh
course ask the Society to devise measures 70
vindicate Mr.. Tiden or remedy the great wrong.
But he could do the next best thing and that OF
course was to invite the Friends OF Freedom To-
gether to point the finger of scOrn at those VINO hau
struck such wicked and murderous Dlow az
free government" And that was preclseB
what ne did in issuing this call Ihe guiity
party" he says must feel thescOurge OF contempt.
This poipts distinctly to a programme, the details
of which will doubtless be worked up later. One
object Of the celebration switbout doubt to desplse
sachems and Wiskinskies and SagamOres aud SO on
will rise up as one man and despse the Administra-
ton 1t will be an inspiring spectacle.
1t will be a great day for the friends Of freedom
when Mr.. Sachem Schell rises in Tammany Hall,
and after calling the meeting to order, proceeds
to say: Gentlemen, we are here to-day to com
memorate the day and all it symbOlizes. The hrst
exercise. in which the audience is requested
To rise and ioin. is to despse the present
Administration Then probably they will conju-
gate the verb The Wiskinskie will say 81 despise; :;
the Sycamore will follow with. Thou despsestJ =
and Sachem Purroy will say. "IIe despises." Then
the chorus by the whole Society: We de-
spise. you despise. they despise-the present
Administration" Then it viii be in order
TO take up the members of the Cabinet and despise
them separately so that the "scourge Of contempt
may be felt by each individual. That makes
the thing practical, and can hardly De
other than effective For soon as the Ad-
minstration feel that the freedOm-ovlng people
who " watch the compass are having sleepless
virgil in Tammany Hall Oh the Fourth of July. and
despising them in concert hey will hardly have
the assurance TO hold on to their offices.
We shall look to see everybody connected
with the Administration "scOot" ont OF
Washington as soon as the despising gets fairly un
der way 1t is to be hoped that arrangements VIII
be made for telephones connecting tourteentn-st'
with all of the Departments, so that none
of tho effect may be lost. 1t Is,
Of course, melancholy to think that
Schell and Purroy and that class Of statesmen
should feel impelled by a Of duty to despise
the Administration in this wholesale way. But 1t
must inure to the benefit Of the race. Let the
despising accordingly go on.
