III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality. accuracy. and decorum
in the treatment Of every subject.
". Honest comment. The Suns habit Is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po-
litical party. and equal readiness to commend
what lis praiseworthy or TO rebuke what is
blamable in Democrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute independence Of partisan
organizations. but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. The Sun believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is q good ono to keep. Its notion OF
duty is to resist to its utmost power the ef,
forts Of men In the Republican party to set
up another form Of government in place OF
that which exists. The year 1881 and the
years immediately following will probably dc.
eide this supremely important contest. The
Sun believes that the victory will be with the
people as against the Rings for monopoly. the
Rings for plumber, and the Rings for imperial
power.
