OUR POLICY FOR 1898.

With this issue the JN0EPENDENT
starts upon new volume, the 10Th
for the Daily and the sd for the
Weekly. In beginning its sixth year
under its present ownership it would
be ungrateful to its friends and pat
rons il it did not extend its sincere
thanks to them for their support In
the years gone by. it would also be
derelict in it's duty it it did not wish
all it's friends and patrons full
measure Of happiness and prosperity
during the year just beg inning. May
their lives fall on pleasant places and
may God shield and protect them and
their loved oDes during the year 1893.
The INDEPENDENT curing the pres
emit year will be as throughout its en-
tire history, history co.equal with
that Of Elko county, a fearless foe
to corruption in county affairs, an
earnest opponent of wrong, an enemy
Of crime in our midst md a sturdy
defender of the right as God gives it
tho power and ability to see the right.
It's politics will remain, as in the
past, Democratic to the core. The
principles of Jefferson, Jackson and
Bryan will be the beacon light to
guide it over the stormy political sea.
In State affairs it will advocate a
fusion of che forces, favorable to the
free coinage of silver, IN the Fall
campaign. But il that fusion be not
made it will follow the flag of the
Democratic party wherever it may
wave and go down with it in defeat
or rejoice with it in victory.
In county affairs it will be found
advocating the strictest economy in
expanding the peoples money. No
ring or clique having for its object
the futtening Of it's members upon
the public crib Will have It's support.
Il has made enemies in the past by
its war on these parasites and will
not change its course 80 long as its
present management continues.
In local affairs it will strive to pre-
sent the news in an interesting man
ner. 1t will be foe to hoodlumism
and will expose crime in our midst,
no matter by whom committed.
Threats Of personal violence or loss
of patronage will not swerve it one
iota from it's course.
In all things the INDEPENDENT
will strive to be fsir and just. The
words of the immortal Lincoln,
with malice toward none; with
charity for ALL will be our motto.
With this statement of its objects
and aims the INoEpGE DENT conf
IDENTIFY appeals to the people of Elko
county for continuation of the sup
port so generously given it in the
past.

he was stealthiy gliding about. his nose to
