The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1880-01-17
THE SUN FOR 1880.

The SUN will deal with the events Of the year
1880 in its fashion, pretty well understood
by everybody. From January until December 81
it will be conducted a 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 i
in the most intelligible 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 to the greatest number-that
is the law ontrolling its daily makeup. 1t now
has circulation very much larger than that of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which 1t is at all time prepared spend literally for
the benefit 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 its columns for they keep buying and read
ing 1t. rae.
In its comm men and affairs the Sun be-
eves 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
it is and will continue be- absolutely indie
pendent OF party class, Clique, organization or 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 language is tothe point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being misunderstood
1t is unnhuenced by motives that do appear on
the surface il has no opinions to sell, those
which may be had by any purchaser with two cents.
1t hates injustice and rascality more than it
hates unnecessary words. 1t sbhors fraud, pties
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every descrip-
ton, 1t will continue throughout the year 1886
to chastse 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 its friends and about its friends when,
ever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These the principles upon which the Sun
will be conducted during the year to come
The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American afford to close bis eyes to public af-
fairs. 1t is impossible to exagerate the mportance
of the political events which it has in store or the
necessity of resolute vigilance 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
contests of the Republican and Democratic parties
he cpttu-
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 November the will of the Nation az
expressed at the polls, thwarted by an abomin-
able conspiracy, the promoters and benefcares of
which still hold the offices they stole Will the
crime Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade
| OF years opened with corrupt, extrayaganr and
| nsolent Administration intrenched at Washington
The Sun did something towards dslodging the gang
| and breaking its power The same men are in
trigping to restore their leader and themselves
places from which they we're driven by the ndigna-
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 chroHicle
the facts as they developed, and to exhibit them
clearly and fearlessly in their relations toexpedisne
cy and right Thus, with habit of philosophical
| good humor in looking the minor affairs of life
and in great things steadfast purpose maintain
the rights of the people and the principles ofthe
Constitution against all aggressors the Sun is pre-
| pared to write truthful instructive, and the
same time entertaining history of 1880
