The weekly Thibodaux sentinel and journal of the 8th Senatorial District. [volume] (Thibodaux, Lna. [i.e. La.]) 1875-1898, 1879-02-08

The Sun will be printed every day du
ring the year to come. Its purpose aud
method will be the same as In the past :
10 present all the naws in o reliable shane.
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall.
The Sun has haen, is, aud will continue
to be independent of everybody and every.
thing save the Truth and its own oonvic
lions of duty. That is the only policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fdenee aud friendship Of a wider cOnstitu-
ency tLan was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the peoDa,
1t Is not for the rich man against the Door
man, or tor the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal justiee to MI
interests in the community. 1t " not Ahe
organ of any person, class, sect or party.
There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. 1t is for the honest Democrats
as against the dishonest Republican, and
for the honest Republican az against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take ito
cue from the utterances of any politician
or political organization. 1t gives its sup.
port unreservedly when men or measures
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 viOlated-as in the outrageous cou
splracy of 1876, by which man nos elected
was placed in the Presidents office. wh-ro
he still remains-it speaks for the fi9hA
That is The Suns idea Of independence
In this respect there will be no change in
Its programme for l479.
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha-
tired Of rascals, frauds, and hnmbugs Of all
sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that
hatred mot less i'll the year 1878, than in
1873, 1877, or any year gene by. The Sun
will continue to shine OH the wicked with
unnitigated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The
Sun does not propose to make itself in 1879
magazine of ancient history. 1t 10 printed
for the men and women Of to-day, whose
concern il chiefly With the affairs Ut to day.
1t has both the disposition and the ability
to afford it readers the prOmptest, fullest
and most accurate Intelligence Of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources helonging to well-es-
tabllshed prosperity will b. literally EN-
plOyed.
The present disloiuted condition of par-
ties in this country ard the uncertainty Of
the future, lend an extraordinary siynifi
canee to the evOnts Of the coming year

public will have d direct bearing OH the
Presidential election Of lSSO-an event
which must be regarded with the most anx-
ious Interest by every patriotic American.

To these elements may be added the prob
ability that the Democrats will control
