Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-01-15
BEFORE THE PUBLIC.

enters upon the fulfllment of its mission. It
is now nearly three years since the consolida-
ton of two papers left st. Paul with but one
morning newspaper. However advantageous
as business enterprise to those immediate
ly concerned that movement may have
proved, it has been generally and continu-
ously regretted by the public. Not that
either one or both of these papers filled such
a niche that their absence did or could create
an aching void, but from the fact that there
is an irresistible desire to see s:both sides" Of
all questions represented, and any attempt to
prevent this creates feeling of resentment
akin to that caused by personal affront.
But for the expense of obtaining fran
chise in the Western Associated Press with
out which no journal worthy the name of
newspaper can suryive) a second morning
paper would have long since made its appear
ance. Such franchise having finally been
purchased by the editor Of The GLOBE, this
journal is presented to the public. The course
which The GLOBE will pursue, so far as it
can be mapped out in advance. was given to
the public in prospectus few days ago,
from which we quote as follows:
PRIMARILY,
TIE GLOBE will be a NEWSPAPER, giving COM
plete ASSOCIATED PRESS News, coupled with
liberal special kilograms, correspondence, &c.
In short THE GLOBE will furnish all the news
and present an accurate and complete daily
map OF the doings of this busy world. An
able, active, and vigorous corps Of editors, re-
porters, and correspondents has been secured
and The GLOBE will be frst-class journal in
all its departments.
POLITICALLY,
The GLOBE will be DEMOCRATIC Not in the
offensive organ grinding" sense, bound to
blindly support any man or measure bearing
broad, liberal meaning of the term-the Dem
ocracy which signifies government by the
people, conducted to advance the interests OF
the whole people. 1t will labor to make the
great crime odious whereby the will of the
people was thwarted and man placed in the
Presidential chair who was not elected. 1t will
endeayor to aid in making this fraud so obi
Gus, that no party will dare to attempt its rep
clifton, and no man in the future will be vii
ling to accept the fruits Of such robbery.
| Honest and economical government-Local
State and National-will always be advocated
THE PRESENT PARAMOUNT ISSUE
is whether the few shall deyour the many
Whether the business depression which nov
hangs like pail over the land, carrying wo
and desolation everywhere, shall become NOR
fearful, or whether the burden shall be lifted
On this, as upon all questions, the GLOBE will
be found battling with no uncertain soune
upon the side of the people 1t will favor tn
RECONCILIATION OF SILVER, and the REPEAL o.
THE RESUMPTION ACT, as the least that can b.
done to make amends for the secret crime b,
which debts payable in coin were changed t
the gold standard alone. 1t will favor any ant
all other measures calculated to advance tn
business interests of the country, and tending
to improve the condition of the masses. I
will be emphatically the
| PAPER FOR BUSINESS MEN.
1t will give great attention to the Market
and to Commercial matter generally, and will
furnish the news of the world in such con
densed and attractive form that the busies
men will be able to keep fully posted upol
! current events.
| PERSONAL.
The establishing of TIE GLoBB is a persona
business enterprise. No fund has been raiset
by politicians or others, and not a dollar il
asked save in the way of legitimate business
The heavy expenditure incurred before the frs
copy can be issued. proves that it is per
manent basis from the start. The publishe
believing that there is field here for such
journal RS he has briefly outlined, confidently
,appeals to the public for support Democrat
Of Minnesota, who have so long regretted thci
inability to obtain hearing for their princi
pies, now have an opportunity to attest thei
appreciation Of this enterprise. Republican

reform, and the utter betrayal of their party
North and South by the non-elected President
can testify their approval of The GLOBE b,
their subscriptions.
It will be tho aim of the editor to MAKE
The GLOBE a model newspaper in ever,
respect, and worthy of the city and Stat
which it in part represents. Political oppo
nents will be fairly treated, but unfit mel
who aspire to public places of trust will b
unsparingly exposed. !.

to win, because it will deserve, success.
