In detail its purposes. To those who have watched

countenance and loyal support. The Sentinel

partisan ties. 1t promised earnest, unrelsxfns
efforts in the production and presentation of =

success is, however, best shown by the positio.
which it has taken within the year, as the FIRST
newspaper of the State, and leading newspaper
OF the West. To this TACT nearly every journal
of Intelligence and discrimination in the state
has borne testimony, as well Is tae swelling lists
of new readers who have Joined its ranks OF

For the next year the Sentinel reaffirnls tie
attitude in the past year-the organ of no party
or credible temperate advocate, only, of the
most generous measures in Church and state. IL

continuance of the baleful partyism of the past
must inevitably sap the foundation OF the Re-

democratic government. To this end 1t encour.
ages heartily the obliteration OF the corrupt
pewer which has strangled honesty in Office dug
ing the last seven years; 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 PEI

| Under whatever conditions reform may come
the Sentinel will give its best efforts for It's suo-
cess, maintaining at all times it's own perfec,
freedom TO uphold and maintain genuine not
simulated reformation.
On the great industrial questions, now moving
the public mind, the Sentinel will maintain =
hearty, earnest cooperation with all struggling
men seeking TO better themselves mentally,

pre- ;ent revenue laws work mischieYolsly and
discriminatory against the producer and in favor

does not make farmers rights and revenue re-
| form solid planks of its platform and active
measures in its policy, does not deserve the SYM

ment received its first recognition IN this section
from the Sentinel. Its efforts shall continue to
be directed toward the Strengthening OF that de-
sign. In its opposition to political, railroad and
financial monopolies, the Sentinel VIII 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 degeneraung into dems-
goguery. In all emergencies OF this nature, the
Sentinel will attempt full and impartial justice
| to all who trust IL.
| Concerning its general features as newspaper,
the Sentinel will hold its rank as the foremost
| in the state, by a continuance of the same policy
of liberal expenditures whenever events Of mo-
ment occupy the public mind The features FOX
which this paper has become popular and dis

| trammeled by party and unwarped by prejudice,
The Sentinel Is not only the completest newi
paper In its presentation OF news and its com
merits thereon, but IL is a visitor every day il
the year-for the 5Sj days-omitting no publicf
ton on any pretext. 1t is, in this respect, one e
the most valuable news mediums In the State.
In short, the Sentinel means To keep ahead OF
the brilliant progress OF the state. 1t means TO
give voice to the most liberal, enlightened and
purest sentiment of the time. and In this respect
! claims distinctly special mission. II depends
| on Its character an independent and fearless
news medium for growth and support, aud
makes no pretext OF cheap premiums 70 secure
/ reluctant supporters.
| Its market reports-regulac, special and cons
piled, are the fullest, most diversified and CONT
plete presented in any journal OF similar re-
sources In the country. It's law, educational and
industrial reports, which have attracted general
attention In the past, shall be continued with
equal care and accuracy the future, and
cost spared in perfecting such details as will rem

journalism. In special way, the sentinel is
better able TO present q complete newspaper
than any OF its rivals In the West. Ii has no
party obligations of any character, and is conse-
quently enabled TO give all sides OF current con-
troversies, irrespective Of prejudices OF men or
parties. As q reflex of the growth OF Indians
polls the Sentinel takes marked precedence OF
all rivals. Its city columns are fuller in detail
and more accurate in preparation than any sim
nar department in the West, and the fact is at
tested by the sSentinels universal circulation in
the city. The Sunday Sentinel reaches greater
constituency than any daily in the State, and In
creases at an unexampled rate from week TO
week, not only in the city, but throughout ali
parts OF the state accessible by Sunday trains.
