The New-YOrk Tribune

For 1879 THE TRIBUNE hopes to continue with IN
creasing success, the work and the methods which
through the year ending have such popular
approval and borne such ample fruit
year ago the Tribune pointed out the danger TO the
tranquility of the country to the Treasury the curren
CIV and the National honor, from the alliance then
forming between the Solid South and Tammany Hail.
declared that against this danger the old party of
freedom, still the party of the Churches and the
Schoolhouses the only bulwark and in behalf of
that party renewed the appeal to the National con-
science, and the enlightened senterest OF the tax
payers.
In all this events have justified it, The year has
disclosed the danger the Tribune predicted aud brot
the deliverence it promised. 1t now asks those VINO
think well of what it did in this eventful year to help
widen yet further its influence by increasing its circu-
lation for the next. 1t abored to harmonic the Re-
publican party; to divert Republicans from attacks
upon each other to attacks upon the common enemy.
1t exposed Southern claims. 1t denounced the Soth-

The Tribune warns the country that inspiring
the late elections have been they do not end the
danger The Democrats and the Greenbackers if
united could have reversed the verdict They may be
united next time. They already have the Solid South

their union would give in many of the Western States
To prevent such union from sweeping the country,
we must keep the Republican party in the highest
state of discipline and efficiency and must educate the
voters. If friends know any better agency for such
political education than the Tribune, by all
it; if not. they surely ought to make every effort to

The Tribune is now spending more labor and money
than before to deserve the distinction it has long
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best peo
pie. 1t is the only newspaper in the country main
tanning special telegraphic wire of its own between
its office and the National Capital. Its Washington
