The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1879-12-27
THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun will deal with the events Of the year
1880 in its own fashion, pretty we'll understood
by everybody. From January until December 81
1t Will be conducted as newspaper, written in the
English language and printed for the people.
As newspaper, the sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it
IN the most intelligible shape-the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the age
with the least reproductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest number-that
IS the law controlling its daily makeup. 1t
has circulation very much larger than that Of any
other American newspaper and enjoys an income
whlGh 1t IS at all time prepared to spend literally for
the beneht Of its readers. People of all conditions
Of life and of all ways of thinking, buy and read the
SUN and they all derive satisfaction of some sort
from IT'S columns, for they keep on buying and read
ing it.
In its comments men and affairs the SUN be-
iieves that the only guide of policy should be
mon sense, inspired by genuine American princi-
Piles and backed by honesty of purpose For this
reason is, and will continue be- absolutely indie
pendent OF party, class, Clique, organization in
terest. 1t Is for ALL but of none. 1t will con-
tnue to praise what is good and reqrobate what is
evil taking that language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being misunderstood
1t is un!nhuenced by motives that do not appear
the surface; it has no opinions to sell, those
which may be had by any purchaser with two cents.
1t hates injustice and rascahty more than it
hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors fraud, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every descrip-
ton, 1t will continue throughout the year 1880
to chastise the first class, instruct the second and
disconntenance the third All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken are
its friends And the SUN makes no bones of telling
the truth its friends and about friends when
ever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which the Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be in which patriotic
American afford to close his eyes to public af-
fairs: 1t IS impossible to exagerate the Importance
of the political events which it has in store, the
necessity of resolutewgilance the part of every
citizen who desires to preserve the Government that
the founders gave The debates and acts of
Congress, the utteranoes of the press the exciting
Af he
now nearly equal in strength throughout the coun-
try, the varying drift Of public sentiment, viii all
bear directly and effectively upon the twentyfonrth
Presidential election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will Of the Nation,
expressed at the polls, thwarted by abomin-
able conspiracy, the promoters and benehciaries of
which still hold the Offices they stole. viii the
crime OF 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade
of years opened with corrupt, extravagant, and
lnsolent Administration intrenched at Washington.
The Sun did something towards dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The men are now in
triguing to restore their leader and themselves
ton of the people. Will they succeed? The com
ing year will bring the to these momentous
questions. The SUN will be on hand to chronicle
the facts they developed, and exhibit them
clearly and fearlessy in their relations expeden
cy and right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life
and In great things steadfast purpose to maintain
the rights OF the people and the principles Of the
Constitution against all aggressors, the SUN is pre-
pared to write truthful, instructive, and at the
same time entertaining history Of 1880.
