THE NEW YORK
T r | 3 u N E
FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be more effective agency than for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago. and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy !;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the for National victory were never
more cheering.
. ~ THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But i'm this
crisis 1T can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than before to hold the distinction 1t has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
peop2e. 1t secured, and means to retain it by be
