THE INTER OCEAN, as q political
journal, stands confessedly at the head
Of the Republican press of the West,
and as a readable aud reliable newspa
per has reputation second to none
While 1T has never Wavered in the sup
{ port of party principles, has never fail
ed to do its full duty in critical times,
and las never lesitated to strike hard
blows in defense Of the Republican
cause, it has never ceased to be a good
newspaper, independent of all political
and party considerations.
With the record of seven years con-
scientious work and efficient service
behind it as a certificate of character,
The INTER OCEAN enters upon the
work OF a new year; enters upon the
work of year the most important, per-
llaps, in its history, and the most mo-
mentOus IN the history of the Repub-
lican party. Lines are already form
ing for the great battle of 1880, and the
country has never felt the need of
stanch and able supporters of principle
for the sake of principle as it will in
the coming year. It has been the good
fortune of The INTER OCEAN to lead
In the formation of public opinion, and
to have tremendous following. 1t
has maintained this position as leader
because Of its unquestioned loyalty to
the fundamental principles of the par
ty, its boldness in defending them, and
it's fairness in discussing great politi-
cal questions. AS The INTER OCEAN
has sounded the keynote of the con-
tests in past years, Republicans will
look to it as faithful guide and lead
Ell in the coming year. And they will
not be disappointed. The paper will
stand, as it always has stood, the organ
of no faction or clique, battling in the
front rank for the principles that have
made the country what it is.
The INTER OCEAN expects to receive
from enemies and opponents hard
blows, and to return them with inter-
est. From Republicans and friends it
expects only such consideration and
fairness as any political journal may
claim at the hands of those interested
in the success of the party and in the
triumph Of party principles. The is
sues are sharply defined. On the one
side is the solid South aided by the
Democratic party; on the other the
Republican party. Naturally at such
a time Republicans will turn to a pa
per able, aggressive, and of unquestion-
ed loyalty. All that we ask is that
| they judge THE INTER OCEAN by it's
own utterances, and not by what Dem
ocratic organs and envious rivals say
of it.
Outside of party considerations Re-
publlcans will choose the best newspa-
per. And in this particular THE IN
TER OCEAN has no superiors. It is in
every sense of the word national
newspaper, presenting home and for
eign news il attractive shane, and ac-
companying it with intelligent COM
ment.
Lit Will be as enterprising as any of
its contemporaries, more accurate and
more discriminating. For two years
it's cable dispatches have been fuller
and OF higher character than those of
lany other Western journal; it's Wash
ington and foreign correspondence
more readable, covering more topics of
special and general interest, and it's
home correspondence more varied and
meEe complete. All these departments
will be continued, with such improve
ments added as experience may sug-
gest and increased facilities for col
lectiIg news allow.
Independent Of politics and news,
men want symmetrical, interesting.
and wholesome journal for the family
and the home. They will find such al
paper in THE INTER OCEAN, which de-
votes more attention than any other
political newspaper to departments pre-
pared and conducted with the wants of
home and family in view. This APP
plies to Agricultural, Domestic, Educa-
tional, Scientific, and Social matters.
