The weekly Thibodaux sentinel and journal of the 8th Senatorial District. [volume] (Thibodaux, Lna. [i.e. La.]) 1875-1898, 1879-02-15

Inc sun will be printed every day dr
ring tho year to come. Its purpose and
method Will be the same as in the mast
10 present all the naws in reliable shane.
and to tell the truth though the heavans
fall. o"'o"S
The Sun has been, is, and will cont;nua
10 be independent Of everybody and every.
'nlhs save the truth and its own convio
tiOns of duty. That is the only no,;cv
which has won for this newspaper the con.
hdenee and friendship of wider constitn.
ency tLan was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the NAOMI.
1t Is not for the rich man against tha ,s.o-
man, or tor the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal Justice to Mi
interests IN the community. 1t Is not the
organ o1 any person. class, sect or party,
There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. 1t is for the honest Dpmocrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and
TOT the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its
cue from the utterances of any politician
or political organization. 1t gives it's ann.
port unreservedly when men or measures
are IN agreement with the Consultation and
with the principles upon which this Repub.
nc was founded for the people. Whenever
the Constitution and constitutional mind
pies are violated-as in the outrageoi,s ccn
splracy of 1876, by which man not elcctad
was placed in the Presidents office. wh4re
he still renlains-it speaks for the right
That Is IHE Suns idea Of independ,Hre
In this respect there will be no chance in
Its programme for l479
IHE Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha-
tred of rascals, frauds, and humhugs Of all
sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1878, than in
1919, loI!' or any year gone by. THE Sun
Will continue to shine on the wicked with
unmitlgated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be
constantly kept before the people. THn
Sun does not propose to make itself in 1879
a magazine of ancient history. 1t is printed
for the men and women of today. whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs OF to day.
1t has both the disposition and the ability
to afford it readers the promptest, fullest
no most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to weil-cs.
tablIshed prosperity will be literally en-
ployed.
The present disJOinted condition of par.
ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future, lend an extraordinary signiti
cance to the evOnts of the coming wear.
The discussions of the press, :he debates
and acts of Congress, and the movements
OF the leaders III every section of the Re-
public will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of lSSU-an event
which must be regarded with the most anx-
lous interest by every patriotic American,
whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
10 these elements may be added the prob
ability that the Democrats will control
both houses of Congress, the Increasing
feeb;eness OF the fraudulent Adm,nistr,ti
and the spread and strengthening every
where of healthy adherence of fraud in
any form 10 present with accuracy anu
ciearness the exact situation in each of its
varying phases, and to expound, according
to its well known methods, the principles
that should guide us through the labyrinth.
