Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1878-11-20

The Sun will be printed every day for the yea
! TO come. Its purpose and method will be tn,
same as IN the past: To present an the news IN
readable shape, ana 10 tell the truth though th,
heavens fall
The sun has been, is, and will continue TO b,
| independent of everybody and everything save
! the Truth AMI its own convictions of duty, That
is the only policy which an honest newspaper need
| have That Is the policy which has won Tor this
newspaper the confidence and fricndshipo OF a Wild
/ er constituency than was ever enioved by an y
/ other American journal.
The sun is the newspaper for the people. IL is
not Tor the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man. but it seeks 10
do equal justice to all interests in the community
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. IL Is for the honest man against the
ro3ues every time. IL is for the honest democrat
rs against the dishonest Republican, and tor the
honcst Republican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. Ii does not take its cue from the utter
Hnces of any politician or political organization.
a. gives Its support unrcscrvCdly when men or
measures are in agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Republic
wits founded for the people. Whenever the on
stitution and constitutional principles are vioat-
ed-as IN the outrageous conspiracy of 1876, by
which man not elected was pl ocd in the Prcsi-
dents office, where he still remains il speaks out
for the right. That Is the suns idea OF indepcn-
dcnce In this respect there will be change in
MS programme for 1879.
The sun h:rs fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and
sizes. " hopes 10 utrtlNt tntt natrc0 not less
the year 1919, than IN 1878, 1877, any year gone
by. The Sun will continue TO shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
SANITY kept before the people, the sun does not
propose 20 make ! self in 1879 magazine of an
cient history IL is printed for the men and wo.
men of to-day. whose concern is chiefly of the nf-
fairs of tD-day IL has both the disposition and
the ability TO afford its readers tho promplcst
fullest and most accurate intelligence of Whatever
IN the wide world Is worth attention. TO this
end the resources belonging TO well-estabished
prosperity 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 direct bearing on the Presdcn-
tial election Of lsoO-an event which must be re-
garded with the most anxious interest by every
patriotic American, Whatever his politcalldeas or
allegiance. 70 these elements of interest may be
added the probability that the Democrats will con-
troll both houses of Congress, the iucrea.inp fee-
bleness of the fraudulent Administration and
the spread and strengthening everywhere of n
healthy adherence of fraud in any form To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearness the exact situa-
tion IN each of its varying phases and to expound
according 20 its well-knOwn methods. the princi-
pies that should guide us through the labyrinth.
