Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1880-07-21
THE sun FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events Of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
well understood by everybody. From Jam
uary until December 81 it will be con.
Quoted as newspaper, written in the Eng
lish language, aud 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 read
ers to keep we'll abreast of the age with the
least unproductive expenditure Of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that Of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is ut all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers.
People of all conditions of life and all ways
OF thinking buy and read THE BUN; and
they all derive satisfaction of some sort
from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
THE SUN believes that the only guide Of
policy should be common sense, inspired
by genuine American principles and
backed by honesty of purpose. For this
lutely independent OF party, class, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
of none. 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 iDjus tice and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abhOrs
f.. i. a. boo x.s.x
poops OF every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first Class, instruct the second and discount
tenance the third. ALI honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE SUN
makes no bones If telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever o.
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.
L
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
election, to be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will OF the
nation, as expressed at tile polls, was
thwarted by an abominable conspiracy, the
- II .k.lI
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past dec
ade Of years opened with 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 we're
driven by the Indignation of the people.
Will they succeed? 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 habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
lie, and in great things q steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights Of the people
and the principles of the Constitution
against all aggressors, THE Sun is pre-
pared to write truthful, instructive and
st the same time entertaining history Of
1880.
