mittee of West Virginia, and at the Chicago
convention last July he was selected as
the member Of the National Democratic
committee from that state. He is gentle
man who viii command the confidence and
respect Of this community, and the retiring
management takes great pleasure in com
meDding the new organization to the public,
believing that however high the auticipations
for the GLOBE may be placed, they will be
more than verified by the results Of the
future.
With to day commences the career Of the
GLOBE under its new management The old
regime retires with the hearty good wishes
and respect of the large body of patrons
whom it has served so long and so faithfully,
aud with the deserved gratitude of the people
OF the Northwest for its untiring zeal and
efficient labor in building up a newspaper
establishment that Is credit to the rich and
growing section with which It has been
identified.
In presenting its claims to public favor
and patronage in the new career which it
has inaugurated it is proper that
the GLOBE should briefly outline its
policy for the future. In its politi-
cal course the GLOBE will be Democratic.
Believing that the cardinal principles Of our
National Democracy constitute the funda-
mental ideas which underlie our American
system Of government. it shall in the spirit Of
the broadest patriotism endeavor to promote
those principles which 1t believes
10 be absolutely essential TO the main
tainance OF our Democratic institu-
tons, and which will preserve to
the people Of this country all the blessings
Of constitutional government. Firm IN the
faith that the people are, and ought TO be,
sovereign, that public Office is public trust,
and that public officials are but the ser

the People, It shall constantly antagonize all
and every thing that has tendency to corrupt
official life or 10 create waste and extravagance
in the use Of public funds, or that will create
class distinctions, or will concen trate undue
power in the hands Of individuals or corpora
tions. IL shall make no difference 10 the
GLOBE whether the advocacy Of pure Demo-
cratic principals be popular or unpopular. 1t
shall honestly, fearlessly, and with patriotic
ardor, seek to impress them upon Its readers.

At the same time the GLOBE does not con-
ceive II to be its duty to he tied down by
useless traditions and obsolete ideas which
have no practical value at this day. On the
contrary, It shall dvest Itself of all such, and
aiignng Itself with the progressive thought
