The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1878-11-28
The Sun for 1879.

THE sun viii be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be the
same as in the past: To present all the news iD q
readable shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
THE sun has been, is, and will continue to be
Independent Of everybody and everything save the
Truth and its own convictions Of duty. That is
the only policy which honest newspaper need
have. That is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship of a
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American Journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. It iR
not for the rich man against the poor man, for
the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks 10
do equal Justice to all interests in the community
It is not the organ OF any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. It is for the honest man against the
rOgues every time. 1t is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest Dem
Ocrat. II does not take its cue from the utter
ances OF any politician or political organization.
II gives its support unreservedly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Republic
was founded for the people. Whenever the Con-
sttubon and constitutional principles violated
as in the outrageous conspiracy of 1876 BY
which man not elected was placed in the Presi-
dents Office, where he still remains-it speaks out
for the right. That is THE SUNS idea of indepen-
denCe. In this respect there will be no change in
its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and
the year 1879 than in ISIS, 1877, or any year gone
by. TIE sun viii continue to shine on the wicked
with unlimited brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stantly kept before the people, THE SUN does not
propose to make itself in 1879 q magazine of an
Cient history. II is printed for the men and wOm-
en- Of Today, whose concern is chiefly with the af-
fairs Of to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability TO afford its readers the prOmptest, full
est and most accurate intelligence of whatever in
the wide world is worth attention. To this end
the resources belonging to well-established pros
perity will be literally employed.
The present disjOinted condition Of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty Of the future.
lend an extraordinary significance to the events of
the coming year. The discussions OF the press,
the debates and acts of Congress, and the move
ments Of the leaders in every section of the Re-
public Will have a direct bearing on the PFesden-
tal election of lSSO-Gn event which must be re-
garded with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his political ideas or
allegiance. To these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will con.
troll both houses Of Congress, the increasing fee
bleness Of the fraudulent Administration, and the
spread and Strengthening everywhere of a healthy
adherence Of fraud in any form. To present with
accuracy and Cearness the exact situation in each
OF ITS varying phases, and to eZpOund, according
to its Well-knOwn methods, the principles that
should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part Of THE Suns work for 1879.
