these results must never be undone and with
a whole people thus united on the grand plat
form of All Rights for All, whereto our bloody

followed, have led us, the Republic closes the
records of the bitter, hateful Past, and turns

whatever may elucidate the general discussion
or action on these, The TRIBUNE gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set
down in its columns, whether this news helps or
binders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts and
this they always get.
But as to its own political principles, THE
TRIBUNE is Of course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of
Race, Nativity, or Color. 1t stands irfexby
by the Anne ndments for the permanent security

corporated by the People, in the Constitution Of
the United States. Independent of all political
parties, it endeavors to treat them all with judi
cial fairness. 1t labors to purify the admins
tration of Government, National, State, and
Municipal, and whenever those in authority,
whether IN National, State or Municipal affairs,
take the lead in this work, it will therein give
them its cordial support. But it can never be
the servitor of any political party; nor will it
surrender or even waive its light to crticise and
condemn what is wrong, and commend what IS
right in the action of any parties or of any pub.
