THE INTER OCEAN FOR 1881
Daily, semi-Weekiy, and Weekly.

In presenting the prospectus of TIL
INTER OCEAN for the year 1881, il /.
scarcely necessary to remind the PEG
pie of the Northwest that the papt
has been, from the date of its estab
lishrnent, pre-emlnent as an exponent
of stalwart Republicanism, and i'm ad
vance of all others in prOmulgatins
that system of political ethics which
has rs its foundation the idea of hu.
manity in politics. 1t is not the al.
vocite of cOldly conceived theories, but
the champion of ideas warm with the
blood of struggling and bleeding hu =
mainly. AS such il is read and known
of all men.
Ii is not necessary to say that THE
INTER OCEAN has never deserted the
platform or principles on which it be-
gan the fight for the rights Of the citi-
zen or its work i'm the interests of the
| people, but il is gratifying to know that
the Republican party has come finally
to stand squarely on this stalwart plat
form, and that in thus moving for
ward the party leaders have acknowl-
edged that the position of THE INTER
OCEAN, taken years ago, was correct.
This is, TO THE INTER OCEAN, the
heartiest and most emphatic endorse
ment of its policy and the most effect
i've testimony as To the yal,;e of its in
fIuence, and the quality of its leader
ship.
The influence of this leadership was
never more apparent, nor the hold

publicans was never more fOrcibly il
Illustrated than during the last Presi-
Dental campaign. Through the cam
paign the earnestness, the LOYALTY. and
enterprise of this very paper were
everywhere recognized as important
factors in determining the result. and
its status as the leading Republican
journal of the Northwest was fixed he,
yond dispute.
In view of these facts. il is ONLY nee
essary to saw that THE INTER 0cEAN
will, maintain this position nv con-
tiuuinp i'm the straightforward course
