THE DEMOCRAT FOR 1879.


ma generous patronage the New orleans
..~orrAT has received from the people Of
ID. southwest, and especially from those q
ssaisiana, encourages its proprietors TO re-
.,wed efforts to make it more than ever tne
xr.p1y6 NEWSPAPER or THE SOUTH.
rso New Orleans DEMOCRAT is the only
- IN the South which receives the tele
a.r.ptic dispatches OF the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS,
81, conceded to be far superior, both as to
a quantity and Importance 81 the news 20
q. Vow York Associated Press. upon which
,s.rlx. every paper, 'little or big" in this
..c4,on depends for it's telegraphic news.
rp,us the people Of New Orleans, and indeed
= the South are supplied through the DEMO
mir with intelligence which they can obtain
u Nd other paper. This feature Of the DEMO
cnAr alone commends it to popular favor In
eyery direction.
The DEMOCRAT now prints more reading
matter than any other Journal In New VI
Iesns. or, indeed, in the South. Nevertheless,
sfer the first OF January the quantity will be
GREATLY INCEEAsED,
and II is our determination to rival the great
{ .ca,ruaIs OF the West in the variety and guam
tlty Of matter each morning furnished our
RAIDERS.
OUR COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT,
under the control Of Col. Wan. seymour, 60
veil known by the public Of this city, will be
1xtended and made so complete that 1t Will
meet every need and wish Of the business
eommunity.
While the DEMOCRAT has been the recog-
nlzed organ Of the Democratic party, It has
been the only really Independent newspaper
nrinted In New Orleans for years. 1t has
supported and defended with all its earnest
mass and ability the principles Of Democracy
but II has never hesitated to attack abuses In
the party, and by this latter course 1t has
arrayed against it every ring politician 10 the
State.
Looking solely to the masses Of the Democ-
racy for appreciation, 1t has, attacked every
ring and monopoly in this city; and though
its simple silence could hove commanded
large sums of money In the way Of business
transactions from the monopolies, it has at
lacked them with all It's capacity, and with
out an exception arrayed them all against 1t
The past course Of the DEMOCRAT is q
guarantee OF its future policy. 1t will stand
BY the people and by the great principles Of
the Democratic party. 1t has no interest IL
Individual leaders and politicians. It Is allied
With none OF these. It Is simply for the Dem
I ocratic party and the reform OF abuses Ia o.
I out Of the Democratic party.
And now, Notwithstanding the tremendous
power Of rings and monopolIes, sustained BY
millions Of capital, which the DEMOCRAT has
fought and which have moved heaven anf
earth to crush it, we point with pride to tht
Endorsement it has received from the people
Of this State, indicated by the growth Of it,
subscription from few hundred to over fiv,
thousand daily In the State, swelling Oh Sun
days to nine thousand, and not unirequentl,
to twelve thousand.
The DEMOCRAT for 1879 will be the mos
newsy and attractive journal In the South
and we solicit the people Of this and ou
neighboring States to continue and extent
the favor and patronage they have alread,
awarded IT,
