POLITICS.

The PRESS will faithfully and earnestly support
the cardinal principles Of the Republican party In
the firm conviction that they have been the saliva
ton of the country in the past and will secure It's
prosperity in the future. 1t has little respect for
the ideas, or the statesmen, controlling the Demo
cratic party for the last forty years, and not more
respect for those controlling it 1t believes that
in order to successfully oppose and prevent the
malign influences fostered and organized within the
Democratic party, the Republican party must be
true to its own highest purposes and keep abreast
of the intelligent progressive and reforming senti
ment of the nation. 1t will discuss all political
questions vigorously and courageously with full lib
erty of opinion concerning the wisdom Of measures,
the character of politicians and the merit of oeisa
