The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-
sent National Administration in all measures essen
TALLY Democratic and intended 10 benefit the entire
American Poope-while at the time, it will not
hesitate to expose all abuses OF and power whe-
ther committed by the Chief Executive of the na,isn
or any other servant Of the People.
IL will fully reveal the workings and intrigues of
corIupt add selfish politicians more especially when
theysSe found eDdeav0ring To build up splendid Go
vernnens, through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power, upon foundation of Clay, without regard TO
the purity of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard the candidate for the Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sonal preference especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office. The editor, however, believes that the (" sober
second thought Of the People is wrong, but al
ways Efficient" and he is willing to abide the fulfil
ment Of the sentiment in due tme and act in accord
ance Herewith.
The paper will recognise the efficiency of Party or
ganisation but will not hesitate to with all
fairness and candor the preensons of all candidates
for Office prior TO the regular nominations by
jority of the People, through Their delegates other
wise.
In short the editor will labor 1eaousy to advance
the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
