| ries, but the champion OF ideas warm with the

| such ii is read and known Of all men.
1t is not necessary to say that The Inter Ocean
| has never deserted the platform or principles Oh
which il began the fight for the rights ofthe citi-
zen or Its work i'll the interests Of the people but it
| is gratifying to know that The Republican party
| hascomc finally to stand squarely on this salwart
! plat .oTm, and that in thus moving forward the
| party leaders have acknowledged that the posi-
| ton OF The Inter Ocean, taken years ago, was

say that The Inter ocean Will maintain this posi-
! ton by continuing in the STRAIGHTFORWARD course

| tation for courageous fairness and journalistic
