the Republican press OF the West, and
as reliable newspaper has a reputa-
ton second to none. While it has
never wavered in the support of par
ty principles, has never failed to do
its full duty in critical times. and has
never hesitated to strike hard blows
in defense of the Republican cause, it
has never ceased to be good news
paper, Independent of all political and
party considerations.
With the recor1 of seven years. con
scientious work and efficient service
behind it as certificate of character.
The Inter Ocean enters upon the work
of a new year; enters upon the work
of year the most important, per-
haps, in its history, and the most mo-
mentous in the history of the Repub-
lican party. Lines are already form
ing for the great battle of 1880, and
the country has never felt the need OF
staunch and able supporters of princi-
pie for the sake of principle as it will
in the coming year. 1t has been the
good fortune of the Inter Ocean to
lead in the formation of public opin-
ion, and to have tremendous follow
ing. 1t has maintained is-position
as leader because of its unquestloned
loyalty to the fundamental principles
of the party, its boldness inidefending
them, fIG itsfsirnessin discussing
great political questions. AS the In
ter Ocean has sounded the key-rote of
the contests in past years, Republi-
cans will look to it as faithful guide
and leader in the coming year. And
they will not be disappointed. The
paper will stand, as it always has
stood, the organ of no faction or
clique, battling in the front rank for
the principles that have made the
country what it is.
The Inter Oceanexpects to receive
from enemies and opponents hard
blows, and to return them with liter
est. From Republicans and frienis 1t
expects only such consideration and
fairness as any political journal nay
claim at the hands of those interested
In the success of the the party AMI in
the triumph Of party principles. The
issues are sharply defined. On the
one side is the solid South aided by
the Democratic party; on the otter
the Republican party. Naturallyat
such time Republicans will turn 10
a paper able, aggressive, and of N
questioned loyalty. All that we ak
is that they judge the Inter Ocean E
its own utterances, and not by whit
Democratic organs and envious rivas
say of it.
Outside of party considerations Re
publicans will choose the best news
paper. And in this particular the In
ter Ocednhas no superiors. 1t is in
every sense of the word a nationa
newspaper, presenting home and for
eign news in attractive shape, and &C
companyipg it with intelligent com.
ment.
It will be as enterprising as any OF
its contemporaries, more accurate and
more discriminating. For two years
its cable dispatches have been fuller
and of higher character than thoseoi
any other Western journal; its Wan.

more readable, covering more topcs
of special and general interest, aid
its home correspondence more variG
and more complete. All these depat-
ments will be continued, with sud
Improvements added as experie,e
may suggest and increased facilities
for collecting news allow.
Independent of politice and ne's,
