THE WING AND TRIBUNE

Has positive convictions, aud will
fcarlessly announce them. 1t holds
that parties arc necessary 10 the
well being of the Republic, and
that it is the duty of every good
citizen TO first ascertain what party
comes the nearest to his own views
of what is true and just, and then TO
go INTO it and act whit. The ever
watchful eyes of an opposition par
~ are necessary to restrain the par
ty that happens TO be in power, and
without such restraint at all times,
our liberties would be destroyed.
Unlike those guerillas of the
press who by late are prevented
nom acting with the Democrats,
ana who by fear are prevented
from acting vita the Republicans,
the WING Il TRIBUNE does not pro-
pose to live by plumber picked up
on the outskirts of the two great
parties of the time. Seeing that the
mighty enginery of the government
has been for the last nine years used
almost exclusively in the interest of
the few, as opposed to the interests
OF the many, and for the purpose of
subordinating all kinds of human
labor to the oppression of capital,
this paper is in full accord with all
honest bread winners, no matter
whether they toll in the field or at
the forge, in crowded cities, or in
the sOlitudcS of the South and Of
the West.
Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-02-21
THE WING AND TRIBUNE

Is a political and party newspaper,
and while it would not follow in
blind obedience the behcsts of any
clique or ring, whose interests were
at variance with those of the peo-
pie or whose tendencies were at
war with the great aims of the
Democratic party, it recognizes the
necessity for party leadership and
organization, in order to overthrow
the Republican party, which has
paralysed the trade, the commerce
and the industry Ofthe country, and
lowered the moral tone of the whole
American people, by the influence
Of ever recurring examples of sue
cessful theft aud robbery, and of
unblushing wrong and oppression.
The WIG Il TRIBUNE believes
that it is a matter Of supreme in
terest to the State of Tennessee
that the representatives Of the poll
cy that has Frustrated in the dust
the great States lying Immediately
south Ofus, shall never again secure
a fOothold in our midst. While it
perceives and admits that Repub-
lican rule in the States of the North,
may not be altogether ruinOus to
those states, for the simple reason
that there the general wealth, in
tclligence and integrity are pretty
equally divided between both par
ties, it sees nothing but Wickedness
and disaster in Republican rule in
the South. Looking TO the South
arn States that since the war have
been under the control of the Dem
ocratic party, Ito Maryland and
kentucky for instance) the WIG
* TRIBUNE sees prosperous and
contented communities. Looking
to the Southern States that since
the war have been overshadowed
by the all blasting upas of Radical
reconstruction, it sees communities
degraded, disheartened and afflicted
as no white communities ever were
in the history OF the Japhetic race.
Remembering, too, the legislation
III this State since the war, the con-
trast between Radical and Demo-
cratic rule furnishes irresistible
reasons why it should adhere to
the Democratic party.
At the same time let it be distinc-
ly understood that we are willing
and anxious to cooperate with all
true men everywhere, who are at
heart opposed to the unjust and I'M
wise policy of the party now in
power, no matter whether such
men prefer to call themselves
Changers, Conservatives, Liberals
or RefOrmers

THE WING AND TRIBUNE.

In the thirty-second year of its
existence the WING 81 TRIBUNE
can truthfuIly claim a circulation
larger than it ever attained in any
previous year Of its long and sue
cessful career. 1t is not our design
to disparage the ability or useful
ness of any OF our contemporaries
in Jackson, but we have a right to
mention the fact that the WIG *
TRIBUNE has fully three times as
many subscribers as all the other
papers published in the city COM
bined. We know that similar boasts
are often made by newspaper men,
and that they often make them when
their Journals are on the very eve of
suspension, but the freight agents
Of the railroads that bring us our
paper from the mills, the officials in
our post office, and the advertising
community, understand perfectly
that so far as lis circulation is CON
cerned mot on y in Tennessee and
elsewhere, but in Madison county
and the city of Jackson) the WING
& TRIBUNE stands unrivalcd and
absolutely unchallcnwed.
