Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1879-09-27
THE SUN O

The sun Will be printed every day during the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be
the same as in the past: To present all the news
in u readable shape, and to tell the truth though
the heavens fall.
The sun has been, is, and will continue to he
independent of everybody and everything save
the truth and its own convictions of duty. That
Is the only policy which AN honest newspaper
need have. That is the policy which has Won
Tor this newspaper the confidence and friendship
Of Il wider constituency than was ever enjoyed
by any other American journal.
The sun Is the newspaper Tor the people. 1t Is
not Tor the rich man against the poor man, or
for the poor man against the rich man, but it
seeks to do equal justice to all interests in the
community. 1t is not the organ OF any person,
class, sect or party. There need be no mystery
about its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t Is for the
honest democrat as against the dishonest repub-
Ilcan, and for the honest republican as against
the dishonest democrat. 1t does not take its cue
from the ut;crances OF any politician or pollt leul
organization. 1t gives its support unreservedly
when men or measures are in agreement with
the constitution and with the principles upon
which this republic was founded for the people.
Whenever the constitution and constitutional
prnc .pic5 are violatei-as in the outrageous
conspiracy OF lS7G, by which Il man not elected
| was placed in the presidents Office, where he
still remains 1t speaks out Tor the right. That
is the Suns idea OF independence. In this re-
pect there Will. be no change in its programme
Tor 1879.
The sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred If
riscals, frauds, and humbugs OF all sorts and
sizes. 1t hopes TO deserve that hatred not less in
the year 1879, than in ISIS, 1877, or any year
| stilt bN- he sun VII continue 10 Snlnt on The
wicked with unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be con-
stanlly kept before the people, the sun does not
propose 10 make itself in 1873 Il magazine of
ancient history. 1t. is printed for the men and
women OF to-day, whose concern is chiefly with
the affairs vi to-day. 1t has both the disposition
and the ability to AFFORD its readers the prompt-
est. fullest and most accurate intelligence of
whatever III the wide world il worth attention.
To THIS end lie resources belonging to WELL
established prosperity will be literally employ
ed.
The present iisjointed condition of parties In
this cOuntrE aud the uncertainty of the Iuture
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
oi Tie coming year. Tue discussions Of the
press, the debates and acts OF congress, and the
movements OF the leaders III every section of The
republic VIII have u direct bearing ON the presi-
dental election OF lSSD-an event which mist he
regarded win the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his political
IDEAS or allegiance. To these elements of in
teicst may be added The probability that the
democrats will control both h Uses of congress
the increasing iechlencss OF the fraudulent nd.
minlstration, and the spread and Strengthening
everywhere OF Il healthy adherence OF fraud in
amy form. To present with accuracy and clear
ness the exact situation in each of its varying
phases, and to eNpOund, according to its we'll
known methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, viii he an important
part of the Suns work for 1873.
