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
reason it Ii, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent Of party, class, clique,
organization or interest. 1t is for all, but
OF none. 1t will continue to praise what
ia good and reDrobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being mis-
understood. 1t il uninfuenced bv 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

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 discount
tenance the third. ALI honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE BUN
makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc-
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are tho principles upon which
THE BUN will be conducted during the
year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
eyes to public affairs. II is impossible to
exasgerate' the importance Of the political
eyeuts which 1t has i'll store, or the neces-
slty OF resolute vigilance On the part OF
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that tn founders gave us.
The debates and actsHof Congress, the ut
teranees of the press. The exciting contests
of the Republican and Democratic parties
now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, tie varying drift Of public
sentiment, will all bear directly and effect
lively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to BIZ held III November. Four
years ago next November the will of the
nation, AZ expressed at the polls, was
thwarted by ali abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and benehciaries Of which still
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 lnsolent Administration in
trenched at Washington. THE Sun did
something toward disiodging the gang and
breaking its power. Inc 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 I'ae coming year will
bring tue answers 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 81 philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of

pose to maintain the rights Of the people
and the principles of the Constitution
