"rHE LEADING ANERfc4y NEWSPAPER
The New York Tribune.

For 1879 TIE TRIBUNE hopes to continue with
increasing success, the work and the methods
which through the year now ending have won
such popular approval and borne such ample fruit.
A year ago THE TRIBUNE pointed out the danger
to the tranquility of the country, to the Treasury
the currency and the National honor, from the al
lance then forming then between the Solid South
and Tammany Hall. t declared that against this
danger the old party of freedom, still the party
Of the Churches and Scho0lhouses, was the only
buwark; and in behalf Of that party, it renewed
the Old appeal to the National conscience, and the
enlightened self-interest Of taxpayers.
In all this events have justified if. The year has
disclosed the danger THE TRIBUNE predicted, and
brought the deliyeranee & promised. It now asks
those who think well of what il did in this event
tul year to help widen vet further its influence by
increasing its circulation for the next 1t labOred
to harmonic the Republican party; to divert Re-
publicans from attacks uEOn each other to attacks
upon the common enemy II exposed Southern
claims. 1t denounced tie Southern suppression
OF the negro vote. 1t resisted debasement Of the
currency. Il endeavOred to sustain the Treasury
in advancing specie payments. It strOve to pro-
mote practical reform In the Civil Service. It
vlndlcated the legitimacy of the Republican Ad-
ministratiOn. It crushed assailants by demonstrate
ing the infamous efforts Of the Democratic leaders
TO buy the Presidency they had fairly lost at the
polls. For these services a distinguished mem-
Republican party and the country owe TIE TRI-
BUNE debt Of gratitudes 60 great that, despairing
full payment Immediately, they must initiate the
Treasury and fund Il Leading Republicans out
/ Of and even opposed to the Administration, are
everywhere heartily expressing similar opinions.
The TRIBUNE now warns the country that, iu-
spring as the late elections have been, they do
not end the danger The Democrats and the
Greenbu uCkers if united, could have reversed tue
verdict. They may be nnited next time. They
already have the solid South to begin with, as
y eHaa Hn~e IL
would give in any 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 edu-
cate the voters. If friends know any better agen-
cy for such political education than The TRIBUNE,
by all means use it; if not they surely ought to
make every effort to push TIE TRIBUNE's circu-
latiOn,
THE TRIBUNE is spending more labor and
money than ever before to deserve the distinction
it has long enjoyed of the largest circulation
among the best people. II is he Only newspaper in
the country maintaining telGgTaphiC wire of It's
own between its office and the National Capital.
Its Washington dispaiches are much the fullest
anywhere published. It's London correspondent,
George W. Smalley, is recognized as the foremost
in that field on the Ame,5ran Press. Its other
foreign correspondence ra~ks exceptionally high.
Is scientific, religions snd literary intelligence is
often fuller, and generally more neWsy than that
furnished by journals expressly devoted to these
ed by the old heads, remain the acknowledged au-
thOrities.
