The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-04
THE DEMOCRAT FOR 1879.

The generous patronage the New Orleans
DEMOCRAT has received from the people Of
the Southwest, and especially from those OF
Louisiana, encourages It's proprietors TO re-
newed efforts to make 1t more than ever the
LEADING NEWSPAPER OF THE SOUTH.
The New Orleans DEMOCRAT is the only
paper in the South which receives the tele
graphic dispatches of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS,
now conceded to be far superior, both as to
the quantity and importance of the news, to
the New York Associated Press, upon which
nearly every paper, little or big" in this
section depends for its Geographic news
Thus the people of New Orleans, and indeed
Of the South are supplied through the DEMO
Graf with intelligence which they can obtain
lin no other paper. This feature Of the DEMO
cRAT alone commends 1t to popular favor in
every direction.
The DEMOCRAT now prints more reading
matter than any other journal in New Or
leans or, indeed, In the South. Nevertheless,
after the first OF January the quantity will be
GREATLY INCREASED,
and it Is our determination to rival the great
journals Of the wes1 in the variety and guam
! tity Of matter oacs morning furnished our
readers.
OUR COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT,
under the control Ct Col. VIM. Seymour, 80
we'll known by Il e public Of this city, will be
extended and made 10 complete that 1t will
meet every need aud wish Of the business
community.
While the DEMOCRAT has been the recog-
nlzed organ of the Democratic party, it has
been the only reals independent newspaper
printed In New ORGANS for years. It has
supported and defeaded with all It's earnest
ness and ability the principles Of Democracy;
but It has never hessated to attack abuses in
Me party, and by tlis latter course 1t has
varrayed against it eyery ring politician In the
State. .
Looking solely to the masses Of the Democ-
rscy for Appreciation, 1t has attacked every
ring and monopoly IN this city; and though
its simple silence souId have commanded
large sums Of money la the way OF business
transactions from tbe monopolies it has at
tackled them with ole It's capacity, and with
out an exception arrayed them all against it.
The past course o. the DEMOCRAT is a
guarantee Of its futua policy. 1t will stand
by the people and byshe great principles Of
the Democratic partys It has no interest in
individual leaders and politicians. 1t is allied
with none OF these. is simply for the DEM
Ocratic party and the. reform Of abuses in or
out Of the Democratic party.
And now. notwithstss ending the tremendous
power Of rings ana ns3nepolies, sustained by
millions Of capital. wi ch the DEMOCRAT has
pRGbt and which hi se moved heaven and
th to crush IT, we soint with pride to the
Endorsement 1t HIS received from the people
l5i this State, indicated by the growth of its
from ) few hundred to over five
sAaouoonu uahy la Eie s9taVe' sWeiiihB Oh sun
lays to nine THOUSAND, and not unfrequently
70 twelve Thousand. Il
The DEMOCRAT sor 1879 will be the most
|newsy and ATTRACTIVE Journal in the South,
nd we solicit the people Of this and our
1eighboring Statef to continue and extend
Ne favor and pat. image. they have already
awarded it. :
