ESTABLISHED 1851

1t 1876 the New York Times will complete the
twenty fifth year Of its existence. Throughout a
quarter of century it will have remained true
to the objects and aims for which it was founded.
It has held from the first favoritc place in the
household; it has endeavored to stand on all oc.
casions by the side Of truth and Justice; and it
has advocated political principles only when they
were certain to promote the honor and welfare Of
the country.
As A FAMILY PAPER.
Tho Times has always borne n very high roputa-
ton throughout the United States 1t. is free
from all Objectionable advertisements and reports.
and under no circumstances whatever are "per.
sonal announcements, or questionable notices
allowed to appear in its columns. The disgrace
iul lures of quacks and medical prctcndors. which
pollutc so many newspapers Of the day, are not
admitted into the columns Of the Times on ans
terms.
As A POLITICAL Jol RNAL,
Tho Times will be devoted, as in tho past. to A
discriminating support of the Republican party
while it reserves the right of expressing indepen
dent opinions upon the measures or policy of an,
Administration, or upon the course of any lead
ers Its attitude is that Of independence wifht
the Republican party, for in that way can tho in
terests of the people DO most eilectually served
Party government is essential to Il constitution
country, and when journals profess to have an,
party it is because they have no principles. I'll,
Times is faithful to the convictions anu aims IN
on which the Republican party was based. but i
Is not the mouthpiece Of a clique. 1t was no
originally established an "organ,' nor has /
ever asked for or received any "iavors' whatcy,,
IRON the party with which it has been identified
1t has supported the Republican party in In

THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVAS.
1t Will adhere closely to these principles in II.
important canvass which will shortly enrarc n.
attention Of the whole country. Great is ues ar
at stake and it will need all the force Of the pr 4.
to sustain the right side The Democratic talt,
Is substantially for imitation, which is avoNc,il'
the first step toward reputation. The Rerubli
can party is in favor Of return to specie lay
ments, by safe and judicous methods and q
Keeping faith with the national creditor; an,
thus Of preventing widespread ruin and irrepara
BILE national dshonor. This issue alone woul
lead the Times to stand firmly by tho Republican
party.
Tho Democratic party now boasts loudly of it
/ "heiormlng spirit, but with Tammany Hall il
| New York, and party of initiation and repudia
ton in other states its professions are Of littl
/ value. The Times cannot place faith in them
Tor It saw too closely and too clearly what Demo
cratic reform meant when it was attacking Dem
ocratic robbers, when Judges were issuing order
OF arrest against its managers and threatening il
| property, and when Samuel j. Tilden and hi
party did their best to aid the Judges and crippl
the attack Of the Times. That was what Demo
cratic reform meant down to tho close Of 1871
/ that Is what 1t means to-day.
In the Presidential canvass the Times will
strive to get tho best candidates nominated, an
afterward to render them a hearty support.
Will take no part in personal nirigues, but vii
ever he ready to defend leaders and candidate
who are true and faithful II representatives. of tn
people.
Its editorial columns will be conducted in
spirit Of fairness and impartialty free alike froi
self-intcrested aims political jobbery, or undu
iavoritism. 1t will represent the great body ,
the people, rather than any clique. On all sui
Jects 1t VIII maintain an attitude Of perfect inlc
pendence. Its correspondence will be full an
timely, and directed with special reference to tn
publication of the truth on all subjects Its re
