In it's comments on men and affairs
THE SUN believes that the only guide O!
policy should be common sense, inspired
by genuine American principles and
| backed by honesty of purpose. For thii
reason it is, and will continue to be, abso
lutely independent Of party, class, clique
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
OF mono. 1t will continue to praise what
| is good and reprObate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
| understood. 1t is uninfuenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no
opinions to sell. save those which may be
had by any purchaser with two cents. 1t
hates injustice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores nincom-
poops Of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second and discoun-
tenance the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc-
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are 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 can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the importance of the political
events which it has in store, or the neces-
sity OF resolute 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 ut
terances of the press, the exciting contests
of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift Of public |
sentiment, will all bear directly and effect |
lively upon the twenty'fourth Presidential
years ago next November the will Of the
nation, as expressed at the polls, was
by Sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and benetciaries Of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
ede Of years opened with a corrupt, extrav-
agant and insolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE SUN did
something. toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were
driven by the indignation Of the people.
Will they succeed2 The coming year will
bring the answers to these momentOus
questions. THE SUN will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed,
and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly
in heir relations to expediency and right.
Thus, with q habit OF philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of
lite, and in great things steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights of the people
and the principles of the Constitution
against Iii aggressors, THE SUN is pre-
pared to write a truthful, instructive and
at the same time entertaining history Of
1880.
