THE DETROIT TRIBUNE,
For 1877.
THE REPRESENTATIVE
Michigan Newspapers!
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 sa-
gacious foresight and the broadcast statesman
ship. The dissatisfaction OF the people with
much that has occurred in its administration is
mistakabe. Their demand Is for genuine
Reform, and il will brook no further evasion or
delay. The anarchic condition Of the Southern
States,-the JOINT result or ignorant suffrage
on the one hand ana 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 readjusting our financial sys-
tenn 10 the changed condition of tie 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 10 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. II rejoices still
further in the faith that our Just elected Presi-
dent Rutherford b. HAYES, is governed by pre-
cisely the principles. aud moved by exactly the
determination that will enable HIM to rise to
the height of the present troubled and compli-
Gated situation, and to devise such wise meas
ures OF relief as shall restore public order and
confidence, abolish existing abuses, and con.
vince the people that the party which carried
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 az yet to restore our finances 70 a
normal and healthy condtion-that this party
Is competent to conduct the affairs OF our great
nation IN times of peace, and 10 animated by a
spirit Of humanity and justice that seeks the
we'll being Of all classes and conditions in the
community.
THE TRIB UNE Will therefore give it's ener-
gies and it's influence in this crises to still advo-
eating Republican principles and UNFOLDING the
Republican organization in just law abiding
and self respecting maintenance OF it's rights,
seeing in that direction the path plainly marked
out by patriotic duty. It will strive to give q
broad and intelligent view Of political affairs,
and will place before its readers the most COM
pete and the earliest information obtainable
from ali authoritative sources. We intend that
~
tica intelligence shall be of the fullest in point
OF scope and freshest in point OF time. In short
The TRIBUNEs readers VIII be kept full abreast
with the ever moving current Of events.
As TO GENERAL NEWS il all its various de-
partments, we propose to furnish 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 large
corps of paid correspondents, by telegraph and
mail, We intend shall remain altogether unri-
vailed. Our Agricultural Department will con-
tinue to completely outstup all others, and form
feature Of the paper that will be worth many
times it's cost to the great Agricultural interest
Of the State. Our MARKET REPORTS will
be, az they always have been, prepared with the
utmost CONSCIENTIOUS care and painstaking, so
that they may be absolutely relied on as 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 a very wide range OF Sc
lectlons, while our MINOR items will cover every
variety o. epic ,-amusing, instructive and sug-
gestive.
Thus We shall aim to make THE DETROIT
TRIBUNE for 1877 more complete in all its de-
partments, and more valuable In its contents,
than ever before, and thus continue to win to it
an ever growing constituency Of attached and
steady supporters and friends, to whose wants
and wishes it shall be our greatest pleasure to
minister.
