The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1878-12-24
THE SUN FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day during
the year to come, Its purpose and method
will be the same IS In the past: To present
all the news is readable shape and to tell
the truth though the heavens fall. *
s The Sun has been. is, and will continue to
be independent Of every body and every
thing save the Truth and its own convictions
Of duty. That is the only policy which an
honest paper need have. That is the policy
which has won for this paper the confidence
and friendship of wider constituency than
was ever enjoyed BY any other American
Journal.
The Sum is the newspaper for the people.
It is mot for the rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but It seeks to do equal justice to all
interests Ia the community. 1t 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. It is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republi.
can and for the honest Republican as against
the dishonest Democrat. T. does not take
it's one from the utterances Of any politician
or ,poiisical organisation 1t gives its sup
port unressrvedly when men or measur 8
are in agreement with the Constitution and
With the principles upon which this Repub-
lie was founded for the people, Whenever
the Constitution and constitutional princi-
pies are vic ated- as in the outrageous con-
spiracy Of 1876. BY which man not elected
was placed in the Presidential Office where
he still remains-it speaks out for the right.
That Is The SUMS idea Of independence. IN
this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1873, $
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha /.
tired Of rascals, frauds and humbugs Of oil
sorts and sisss. II hopes to deserve that ha-
tired not less in the year 1879, than in 1878,
1877, or any year gone by. The Sun will
continue to shine ON the wicked with un-
mitigated brightness.
While the lessons OF the past should bs
constantly kept before the people. The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 q
magazine Of ancient history. It's printed
for the men and women of to-day, whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs OF to-day
II has the disposition and the ability to az
ford its readers the promptest, fullest and
mos, accurate intelligence Of whatever II
the wide world ia worth attention. To this
end the resources belonging to well sstab-
lished prosperity will be literally employed
The present disiointsd condition OF parties
in this country. and the uncertainty Of tn,
future, lend an extraordinary significance Il
the events Of the coming year, The discus
sions Of ths press, the debates ard acts o
Congress, and the movements of the Leaders
in every section Of the Republic will have
direct bearing on the Presidential election
Of 1880-an event that must be regarded
with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his politioa
ideas or allegiancs. To these elements
Of interest may be added the probabiiit,
that the Democrats will control both Eousss
the increasing feeblensss Of the fraudulen
Administration, and the spread and strsng tn
Iening every where of healthy abhorrene
of fraud in any form. To present with &C
curacy and olsarnsss the exact situation il
each Of its varying phases, and to expound
according to its well known methods, tn
principles that should guide as through th,
labyrinth will be An important part Of Tn,
SUMS work for 1879. s
