in the support of party principles
has never failed TO do its full duty in
critical times, and has failed to
strike hard blows in defense of the
Republican cause, it has never ceased
to be a good newspaper, Independent
of all political and party considsra-
tions.
With the record Of W years of
conscientious work and efficient SER
vice behind it as a certificate of char
acter, The INNTR-OCEAE enters
upon the work Of a new year; enters
upon a year the most important, per-
haps, in its history, and the most
m6mentous in the history of the Re-
publican party. Lines are already
forming for the great battle of 1850,
and the country has never felt the
need of staunch and able supporters
of principle for the sake of principle
rs it will in the coming year. 1t has
been, the good fortune Of The INTER
OCEAN to lead in the formation OF
public opinion, and to have a tremen-
dous following. 1t has maintained
this position as leader because of its
unquestloned loyalty to the funda-
mental principles of the party, its
boldness in defending them, and its
fairness in discussing great political
questions. As THE IMTER-OcEAN
has sounded the key note of the con
tests in the past years, the Republi
cans will look to it as a faithful guide
and leader IN the coming year. And
they will not be disappointed. The
paper will stand, as it always has
stood, the organ of no faction or
clique, battling in the front rank for
the principles that have made the
country what it Is.
The INTER OCEAN expects to re-
ceive from enemies and opponents
hard blows, and to return them with
interest. From Republicans and
friends it expects only such consider.

journal may claim at the hands of
those interested in the success of the
party and in the triumph of party
principles. The issues sre sharply
defined. On the one side is the solid
South aided by the Democratic party;
OF the other the Republican party,
Naturally at such a time Republicans
will turn to a paper able, aggressive,
and of unquestioned layalty. All we
ask is that they judge The Inter
Ocean by its own u%tterances, and not
by what Democratic organs and en-
vious rivals say Of it.
Outside of party considerations
Republicans will choose the best
newspaper. And in this particular
The Inter-O Ocean has no superior. 1t
