Setting out on a somewhat new and untrten
path last year, the Sentinel defined at length ane
In detail Its purposes. To those who have watched
that course IL reasserts its claim for continued
countenance and loyal support. The sentine.

yers and families. The measure of the sentinels
success is, however, best shown by the position
which II has taken within the year, as the first
newspaper of the State, and leading newspaper
OF The West. To this fact nearly every journal
OF intelligence and discrimination in the State
has borne testimony. well as the swelling lists.
of new readers who have Joined its ranks OF
friends. This in a general way.
For the next year the Sentinel reaffirms

most generous measures in Church and State Il,

continuance OF the baleful partyism of the pnsi
must inevitably sap the foundation of the Re.
public and destroy every distinctive feature OF
democratic government. To this end 1t encouT.-
ages heartily the obliteration of the corrupt
power which has strangled honesty in Office dur.
ing the last seven years; a power which brings
the nation into BANKRUPTCY on the verge OF the
new year, and by its fragrant disregard OF the
first principles of government, plunges the
country into all the hardships OF war and pes.

Under whatever conditions reform may come,

from the Sentinel. Its efforts shall continue 10

sign. In its opposition TO political, railroad and
financial monopolies, the Sentinel win continue
an honest support While furthering all inter.
ests In this direction, wisdom must be called In
to keep the crusade against public abuse, monop-
olies, and the like, from degenerating into dena-
goguery. In all emergencies of this nature, the
Sentinel will attempt full and impartial justice
to all who trust It.
Concerning Its general features as q newspaper,
the Sentinel will hold its rank as the foremost
in the State, by continuance of the same policy
OF liberal expenditures whenever events of mo-
ment occupy the public mind. The features foI
which this paper has become popular and dis
tinguished during the last year. will be carried
out still more fully, IL possible, the coming year,
and every department made of vital, abiding In

The Sentinel is not only the completest news
paper in Its presentation of news and its CON-
ments thereon, but it is a visitor every day in
the year-for the 800 days-omitting no publica

the most valuable news mediums in the State.
In short, the Sentinel means To keep ahead OF
the brilliant progress OF the State. IL means to
give voice to the most liberal enlightened and
purest sentiment of the time. and in this respect
claims distinctly special mission. 1t depends
on its character as an independent and fearless
