The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1878-12-12
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 in a
readable shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
gHE sUH hes been, Is, and viii continue to be
indeBendsnt OF everybody and everything save the
Irnth and its own convictions of Cuty. That is
the only policy which au honest newspaper need
have. That Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship of
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American iJurnaL
TIE Sun is the newspaper for the people. It is
not for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the paer man against the rich man but il seeks to
do equal justice 10 all Interests in the community
II is not the Organ OF any person, ClasF, sect or
party There need De no mystery ABOUT tts loves
and hates. II is for the honest man against the
rOgues every time. e is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and for the
honest Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. Il does not take its cue from the utter
ances OF any polItlclan or political organizations
II gives lis 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
stituton and constitutional principles are violated
AS in the outrageous conspiracy of 1870, by
which man not elected was placed in the Presi-
dents OfnCe, where he still remalns-lt speaks out
for the right. That is THE SUNS idea of indepen-
dence. In this respect there viii be no change in
its programme for 1873.
THE sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals1 frauds, and humbugs Of all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that hatred not lees in
the wear 1879 than in 1873, 1917 or any year gone
by. THE sun will cOntinue to shine on the wicked
with unlimited brightness. r .-. ..
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stlntly kept before the people, TIE sun does not
propose to make itself in 1879 a magazine Of an
cient history It is printed for the men and wOm-
en- Of lO-day- whose concern is chiefly with the af
fairs Of to-day. IL has both the disposition and
the ability 10 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-establshed pros
peTity viii be literally employed.
The present disj0inted condition Of parties in
this couniry, and the uncertainty Of the future.
lend an extraordinary Significance to the events Of
tie 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 viii have a direct bearing on the Presiden-
tal election of lS5Q-an event which must be re-
garded With the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, whatever his political ideas
allegiance. To these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will con-
trOl both houses of Congress, the increasing fee
beDess Of the fraudulent Administration, and the
abhgFFanGe Gf-fraud In any form. 70 present with
accuracy and cearness the exact situation in each
OF rs yarglDg phases, and to eeTpound, according
to IT'S Wel-kn0wU methods, the principles that
sheuld guide Us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part of THE Suns work for 1879.
