The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1880-01-10
THE SUN FOR 1880.

The SUN will deal with the events Of the year
1880 in it's own fashion, pretty well understood
by everybody. From January until December Al
it will be conducted 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 Ineligible shape-the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the age
with the least unproductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest the greatest number-that
is the law controlling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation very much larger than that of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys income
which it is at all time prepared to spend literally for
of life and of all ways of thinking buy and read the
SUN; and they all derive satisfaction of sort
from its columns, for they keep on buying and read
ing 1t.
In its comm nts men and affairs, the SUN be-
heves that the only guide Of policy should be com
mon sense inspired by genuine American prnci-
pies and backed by honesty of purpose For this
reason it is and will continue to be, absolutely indie
pendent Of party, class, clique, organization in
terest. 1t is for all, but of none. 1t will con-
tinue to praise what is good and reqrobate what is
evil, taking that Its language is tohe point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being misunderstood.
1t is uninfuenced by motives that do not appear
the surface it has opinions to sell, save those
which may be had by any purchaser with two cents.
1t hates injustice and rascality more than it
hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors fraud, pites
fools, and deplores nncompoops of every descrip-
ton. 1t will continue throughout the year 1880
to chastise the FIRST class instruct the second and
discountenance 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 it's friends and about its friends when
occasion arises for plain speaking.
These the principles upon which tho 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 whichit has in store the
necessity OF resoue vigilance on the part Of every
citizen who desires to preserve the Government that
the founders gave us. The debates and acts OF
Congress- the utterances of the press the exciting
oil he mar lies
now nearly equal in strength throughout the coun-
try, the varying drift of public sentiment will all
bear directly and effectively upon the twenty fourth
Presidential election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next Novembe the will of the Nation,
expressed at the polls was thwarted by an abomin-
able conspiracy, the promoters and benehciaries of
which still hold the Offices they stole Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade
OF years opened with a corrupt, extrayagant, and
lnsolent Administration mtrenched at Washington
The SUN did something towards dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The same men are now IN
places from which they were driven by the indigna-
ton of the people. Viii they succeed? The com
ing year will bring the answers to these momentous
questions. The Sun will be on hand TO chronicle
the facts they are developed and to exhibit them
clearly and fearlessly in their relations exPedien
cy and right. Thus, with habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor affairs of lite
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 write truthful, instructive, and at tho
same time entertaining history Of 1880.
