THE DETROIT TRIBUNE,
For 1877.
THE REPRESE NATIVE
Michigan New spaper
ESTABLISHED:
THE WEEKLY IN 1929,
The DAILY IN 1885.

The close of one OF the most exciting and
hardly fought political contests known to recent
American history finds the Republican party
| victorious, but under such circumstances. and
with such a close result as to call upon 1t i'm
perativsly for the exercise OF the greatest cir
cumspection, the highest wisdom, the most ga
gacious foresight, and the broadcast statesman
| ship. The dissatisfaction of the people with
much that has occurred in Its administration is
unmistakable. Their demand ID for genuine
Reform, and it will brook no further evasion or
delay. The anarchic condition OF the Southern
States,-the JOINT result of ignorant suffrage
on the one hand and bitter and growing hatred
OF the equality OF all men before the law on the
| other, demands some adequate remedy which
cannot long be withheld with safety. The pros
trate business energies OF the country must be
revived by some stimulus that shall give en-
ployment to idle labor and no less idle capital.
The problem OF readjustipg our financial sys-
| tenn to the changed condition OF the times
presses for some comprehensive, just and safe
solution. The use OF governmental power for
the Chief or even largely incidental promotion
OF partisan ends has met with popular condem-
nation, and must cease.
II is under such circumstances az these that
the sceptre OF rule is once more placed in the
hands OF the Republican party. The high trust
is coupled with conditions that must be fulfilled
or the certain loss OF all that has been gained
is only question OF very brief time.
THE DETROIT TRIBUNE is one of those
that believe that these demands made upon the
Republican party-the party OF it's first choice
can be and must be met. 1t rejoices still
further in the faith that our Just elected Presi-
dent, Rutherford II. Hayes, is governed by pre-
cisely the principles, and moved by exactly the
determination that will enable him to rise to
the height ~ the present troubled and compli-
Gated stua .on, and to devise such wise meas
ures OF relGIi % shall restore public order and
confidence, abolish existing abuses, and con-
thu manila That tho rfv which on ra6
our country through the dreadful scenes Of a
civil war, which has struggled earnestly with
the exceedingly difficult problem OF reconstruc-
ton, which has labored seriously, though with
little avail as yet, to restore our finances 70 a
normal and healthy condition-that this party
Is competent to conduct the affairs OF our great
nation In times OF peace, and ID animated by
spirit Of humanity aud justice that seeks the
well being Of all classes and conditions in the
community.
THE TRIB UNE will therefore give it's ener-
gies and its influence in this crises TO still advo
eating Republican principles and upholding the
Republican organization in just, law abiding
and self respecting maintenance OF its rights,
seeing in that direction the path plainly marked
out by patriotic duty. II will strive to give
broad and intelligent view OF political affairs,
and will place before its readers the most COM
plete and the earliest information obtainable
from all authoritative sources. We intend that
its regular daily and weekly compendium OF po-
litcal intelligence shall be of the fullest IN point
OF scope and freshest in point OF time. In short
The TRIBUNE's readers will be kept full abreast
with the ever moving current Of events.
As to GENERAL NEWS IN all its various de-
partments, we propose to furnish q variety that
shall meet all needs and tastes, and make THE
TRIBUNE welcome visitor in every Office,
counting room, workshop and manufactury, and
| a doubly welcome friend at every freside. Our
collection Of MICHIGAN NEWS, by a large
| corps OF paid correspondents, by telegraph and
mail, we intend shall remain altogether unri-
vailed. Our Agricultural Department will con-
tinue to completely outstnp all Others and form
feature Of the paper that will be worth many
times its cost to the great Agricultural interest
! OF the State. Our MARKET REPORTS will
be, as they always have been, prepared with the
utmost CONSCIENTIOUS care and painstaking 30
that they may be absolutely relied on rs giving
the latest and most truthful accounts OF the
movements and prices Of all the great staples
OF trade IN which the people OF Michigan are in
terested. Our LITERARY columns will con-
| tam the best stories and the choicest poetry
that can be cleaned in very wide range Of Sc
lections, while our MINOR items will cover every
variety OF topic,-amusing, instructive and sug-
| geetive.
Thus We shall aim to make THE DETROIT
TRIBUNE for 1877 more complete in all its de-
partments, and more valuable IN it's contents
than ever before, and thus continue to win to il
| an ever growing constituency Of attached and
steady supporters and friends, to whose wants
and wishes it shall be our greatest pleasure to
! minister.
