DAILY. SUNDAY AND WEEKLY.


path last year, the Sentinel defined at length and
in detail its purposes. To those no have watched
that course IL reesssrts its claim tor continued
countenance and loyal support. The Sentinel
promised last year perfect Independence from all
partisan ties It promised earnest, unrelaxius
efforts in the production and presentation of =
wholesome, refined and Trustworthy news me.
dunn Ia the Of that effort it has the cor
dial enforcement Of a vast number OF its cotem-
porsry journals, and the written Assurance of a
great constituency of ministers, teachers, law
yers and families. The measure Of the Sentnel's
success Is, however, best shown by the position
which 1t has taken within the year, as the first
newspaper of the state, and leading newspaper
OF the West. 20 this fact nearly every journal
of intelligence and GiiscTimir alton In the state
has borne Testimony, well ss tZe swelling lists
of new readers who have joined Its ranks OF
friends. ThiS5, general way.
For the ne1S year the Sentinel. reaffirms its
attitude in the past year-the organ of mo party
or credible temperate advocate, only, OF the
most OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in Church and state. It
will continue 20 publish all the news az the ear
lest moment. Il will reflect the sentiments of
! the people, azad hold Itself outside or all party
| ties. 1t will support only honest men for Office

will uphold Ss0lously the hands OF all men hon
est and earnest in reform, no matter what their
party or predictions, and it viii strive TO give
all sides hearing ia the changing topics that
/ fill the public mind from time TO time.
The Sentinel hes policy to maintain as op-
posed to the VIII of the majority. Its colUIons
are meant TO De fair reflex Of tie rational will
of the comraunity, where all men can have a
hearing freely. The Sentinel believes that "A
continusnes Of the baeful partyism OF the past
must inevitably sap The foundation OF the Re-
public and destroy every distinctive feat-Se OF
! democratic government. To this end IL enoour-
ages heartily the obiteration OF the corrupt
pewer which has stTanglsd honesty In oricedur-
ing the last seven years; a power which brings
the nation into bangrntcy on the verge Of the
new year, and by lis fragrant disregard ct the
first prS2oiples OF government, pIangas the
country into an the hantlships Of war and pes
| thence
Under whatever conditions reform nXAy come
the Sentinel will give its best efforts for lie sue
cess, maintaining at all times its own perfect
freedom to uphold and maintain gen .ne, not
simulated reformation.
On Saa great industrial questions, nOgInOYing
! the psablic mind, the Sentinel Will maintain a
hearty, earnest cooperation with all Struggling
men seeking TO better themselves Aentally,
physically, and every way. IL believes that the
