The Russellville Democrat., 1879-08-21
THE SUN FOR '70

The Sun will be printed every day during the year to come Its purpose and method will be the same as in the past: ID present all the news in reliable shApe and to tel the truth though the heavens fall.
 The sun has been, is, and will continu" to be independent of everybody and everything save the Truth and its own convictions of duty. Thatls the cply policy which an honest news paper need have. That is tic policy winch has won for this new spaher the confidence and Friendship of q wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any other American Journal.
 The eun Is the newspaper for the people. lt Is not for the lich man against the poor man, or for the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks Co dO justice to all interests in the com munity. It is not the organ of any person, class. sect or party. There need be no mystery about it's loves and hates. 1t is Tor the honest man against the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, and for the honest Republican as against the dishonest Democrat 1t does not take It's cue from the uttoranccs of any pOli- tician or political organization. It gives it's support unreseIvedly when men or m. asureS are in agreement with the constitut ion and wlth the principles upon which this Republic was founded for the people. Whenever the Coqstituton and coqstitutional principles are violated-as in the outrageous cOnspi' acy Of. lsi6, by which man not elected was placed in the Presidents office. where he siill 1snains-- it speaks out fvr the right This is the.sUh'8 idea of indepentience- In this lespset ,there Will be no change in its programme for 1879.
 The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts anA sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the year lSig, than in 1878, lSII or any year gone by. The Sun will continue to shine on tho wicked with unmitigated brightness
 While the lessons of the past should bo con stantly kept before the people. The sun does not prapese to ma itself iniS7D s nagazlne of hnciant history. It is.printed for the men and women of to-day, whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day. It has both tho disposi- promptest suiiese anR sscst % accurate ] inteiii- f genee of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To this end the resources belonged to well-estaDlished prosperity will be libcraily employed.
 The present disjointed condition Of parties in this country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend an eNtraordinary significance to the events of the coming year. The discussions of the press, the debates and acts of Congress, and the movements of the leaders in every section Of the Republic will have a direct bearing on the Presidential election of l6s0-an event which must le rsgaTded with the most anX4 whatever his political ideas or allegiance To these elements Of ihtercst may be added the probability that the Democrats will control both houses Of Congress, the increasing feeble- ness Of fraudulent administration, and the spread and strengthening everywhere of a healthy abhorrcnoe Of fraud in any form. To present with accuracy and elcaruess the exact situation in each of It's varying phases, and to eNpound, according to its we'll known methods, the principles that should guide us through the labyrinth, will bo an important part of The suns work for lSig.
 We have tho means of making Tie snn, az a political, literary and a general new spapor, more entertaining and moro useful than ever before; and we mean to apply them freely.
