Ion THE lsT OF MAY, 1876. THE
~ ownership and control Of The
| WORLD passed into the hands OF inc
undersigned, under whose absolute "a, ana
uutrammeied direction THE WOkLD
has ever since remained and now
remains.
Durip the whole Of this time THE
WORLD has labored patiently and
perseveringly for the accomplishment
Of two great objects in politics OF para
mount interest to the Southern people.
i. The restoration of Local Self
Government at the Sontll.
9. A Real Reform Of the Civil Ser
vice. in snch wise as to destroy the
political machines under the operation !.
of which it has come to pass that the
Ipeople are taxed to support political
nariies. whereas political parties have
no other reason of being except to
lessen the burdens Of government.
The first of these objects has been
trinmphantly accomplished. All IN
! telligent Northern men now admit
that all parts Of the country were as
deeply interested as the South IN see
ing it won. A corrupt and anti Dem.
ocratic government in the South was
perma,,ent peril to the ascendancy {"
true American principles in the Fede
q raj Government and therefore to tn
e neace and honor of the whole people
: The second political object tor which
. THE WORLD contends still remain
to be fully achieved. The actual All
ministration began its career with ex
cellent promises in this direction q
3a which it is sufficient to say that the
\ have been rs yet only in part re
\ deemed. THE WORLD for its pal
will resolutely support any honest O
fort to redeem these promises full.
by whomsoever made, and will as rel
oiutely denounce every obstacle throw
in the way Of redeeMins them, fro
whatever quarter.
y It seems to the undersigned EN-
~ nently proper that he should ask t.
