The Pittsburgh Commercial.
A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The "Presidential wear" IL always
reading year with the American people.
IL imposes extraordinary duties on jour
mails from which the people NAV usual.
ly expect not only the news of the day,
but intelligent discussion of public queS-
tions and cnunciation of opinions. While
this is true ina general sense the wear be-
fore us is likely, /" a political sense, to be
enc of unusual interest; the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there are in iica-
tions of alliances and purposes altorether
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 receiY
ed the unquiVoca. Endorsement of the
American people and there is every in
dicition now that ms the Republican can
didate, he will I've reelected President. As
an Independent Republican Paper the
COMMERCIAL will in the future, as i'm the
past, render an undoviatinV 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 it i'm the great liie-
or death s,rugul In the future ~ in the
past II will speak its own views regarding
men and m assures, holding that through
free discussion only eau safe conclusions
be reached and the Independence of the
press preserved. In this regard we can
say simply that the COMMERCIAL will he
true u itself aud its established character.
As a Newspaper. nothing will be spared
to maintain the position which the CoM-
NERcIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals of the dav, for nows cnter-
prise rs well as for independent opinions.
This wear, Mt home and abroad will be
fun Of interest. European politics are
agitated, and the American reader will
likely ind much in them to attract his at
tention. At home all is life and pu,h.
Railroads are being constructed every
where; new projects are almost daily pro-
claimed; popu,ation is increasing; tI,ter-
prise intelligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and the prospect for the
wondeifu full activities of our country is, to
saw the least, eNtrem 'ly encouraging.
With all these things he COMMERCIAL is
intimately identified and as n Business
Paper. at the center of the greatest manu-
featuring district on the continent, has
constantly in view whatever of interest
readers may reasonably expect TO see in
its columns, ,-especially carefully propar-
ed market reports, manufacturing intelli-
genco and general news, collected and
from abroad.

be our aim TO deserve the continuance of
