Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-28
IN NEW QUARTERS.

itself and its patrons. Our business has long since outgrown our present accom- modations, and it has been very difficult at times to attend to our large job print ing patronage without infringing on the time and attention that should be devoted to our paper.
 The DEMOCRAT, since it's birth as a daily nearly sixteen months since, has met with a success far beyond what we had dared to hope when first it was es- tablished. In the time that has inter vened since its initial number left our press it has grown in the confidence of the people of Waterbury who have learned to respect it for the fearlessness honesty and aightforwardneSs of it's utterances. Though published in the interest of the democratic party, tie principles of which have found in us lifelong advocates, it has not hesitated, when circumstances seemed to call for it, to lacerate some of those whose ac- tions tended to bring odium and dis credit on the organization. The democ- racy-the party of Jefferson and Jack son, of Tilden and Cleveland-is above any individual, and the DEMOCRAT does not propose to subordinate the greater interests of the party and the people for the democracy is the party of the people-to the personal interests or ambitions of any man. It is this spirit of party devotion that is not so unreasonable or hide-bound that it can find good in everything done by democrats and nothing to criticise that has strengthened popular confidence in the opinions or criticism that have found place in these columns. And we have found the course we pursued best, too, in business sense. It has paid to be hon. est, it has paid to be courageous. and to- day the DEMOCRAT stands on par with older and richer contemporaries in the confidence of the business and reading community of Waterbury. If anything were needed to give strength to this as surance it Is the urgency that compels us to find larger quarters in which to transact our business and enable Us to cater still more satisfactorily to our pa irons.
 In the new quarters of which we take possession next Monday, which will be at No 153 South Main street just below Grand, about a block below where we are now located, we will have our bus mess rooms on the first floor, which will be great accommodation to our pa irons who have heretofore been obliged to climb flight of stairs to get to the otfce Our press and distributing rooms will be in the cellar, leaving us upstairs for our composing and editorial rooms and sparing our visitors the annoyance of the hum and rattle of machinery that has heretofore made it somewhat un- pleasant for them. Taken altogether, our new quarters at No 153 South Main street will be more convenient for us and more pleasing in many ways to those with whom we do business. It shall be our aim there, as it has been our aim ill the quarters where we have made our great success as jobprinters and pub- fishers, to please our patrons and so merit a continuance of their patronage. The DEMOCRAT will continue in the policy that has guided it from its birth -unwavering loyalty to democracy, the democracy of Jefferson, but not blind to wrong in its own party that may tend to sap the strength of the organization. On these lines we have met with suc- cess, andson these lines we believe that a greater success is yet to be ours.
 To our advertisers, subscribers, regu- lar or occasional readers. and to the pa- irons of our job printing department we renew the assurance of our considera- tion and extend a cordial invitation to visit us in our new quarters where we will be found after this week. We can promise better attention to their inter- DEMOCRAT even more interesting and entertaining than it has been while working its way to the solid standing it now has in the confidence and apprecia-
