A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The "Prcsldcntial yenr'' is always u
reading year with the American people.
| II imposes extraordinary duties on jour
nails from which the people may usual
ly expect not only the news of tho day,
but intelligent discussion Of public ques-
tions and enunciation of opinions While
this is true in general sense the year be-
fore us is likely, in political sense, TO be
one of unusual intcrest;- tho Democratic
party Is breaking up, and there are indica-
tions of alliances and purposes altogethor
novel in our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted in almost an un-
broken series of Republican victories.
General Grants administration has receive
ed the unquivocal Endorsement of the
American people; and there is cvcrv in-
dcation now that, as the Republican can
didatc, he will he re-elcctcd President. m
an Independent Republican Paper the
COMMERCIAL will in the future, as in the
past, render an undertaking support To
Republican Principles, holding that the
good Of the Republic requires that the
Government should remain in the hands
of the party that saved II In the great life
or death struggle" In the future as in tho
past il will speak its own views regarding
men and m asuros, holding that through
free discussion only can safe conclusions
be reached aud the independence of the
press preserved. In this regard we can
say simply that tho COMMERCIAL Will b0
true TO itself and its established character.
As a Newspaper, nothing Will he spared
10 maintain the position which tho Com
MERCIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals OF tho day, for news enter
prise as well rs for Independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad, will bO
full of interest. European politics arO
agitatod, and the American reader will
likely find muoh in them to attract his at
tention. At homo all is life and push.
Railroads are being constructed every
al 4
claimed; population is increasing; enter
prise intelligently directed was never 50
well rewarded, and the prospect for the
wonderful activities of our country Is, to
say the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things tho COMMERCIAL IL
intimately Identified, and us n business

featuring district on the continent, has
constantly in view whatever of interest
