THE SUN,
Fob
1889
And for the democracy.

THE sun believes that the campaign for the
election of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a
Democratic President in ls9! should begin on or
about the fourth of next March. THE sun will
be on hand at the beginning and until the end Of
the most interesting and pOrtant political con-
tiict since the war doing its honest utmost ns
ever, to secure the triumph OF the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
cples held by Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden
The great tact OF the year is the return to abso-
lutte power OF the common enemy of all good
Democrats-the political organization for whose
overthrow THE SUN fought at the front for fif-
teen years, the memorable years of g rant and the
Fraud Hayes. and Garfield and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront, and he will be entrenched in the same
strong position. IL has been carried once by
brave aud hopeful fighting, Do you not believe
with THE SUN that the thing can be done again ?
The hope of the Democracy is in the loyal eff
forts OF a united press, cherishinK no memories
of past differences in non-essentas. forgetting
everything but the lessons of experience, and
that victory is a duty.
Probably you know THE sun already as a news
paper which gets all the news and prints it in
incomparably interesting shape; which chron-
ccs facts as they occur ana tells the truth about
men and events with absolute tearlessness max
ing the completest Ond most entertaining journal
