 Whereas. It has on innumberable oc- casions offended the decent and fair mind ed portion of the community by coarse ly assailing those men in public life who have stood for liberty and progressi and
 Whereas, The New York Sun Is in it's present estate the unblushing defender of monopoly and the mouthpiece of re- actionists and
 Whereas. It's long career of maleficence found fitting continuation two years ago. when it treacherously locked out it's union men, without provocation and without warning supplying their places with men secretly gathered in another city TOT the purpose; and
 Whereas it's managers, few months since, basely betrayed the confidence of the President and Executive Committee of Typegraphiea1 Union No G. the l. T. U. officers and leading business men of New York city by Inducing the fond belief that he had undergone change of heart and was ready to unionize his establish ment. in which belief the members of No. did all in their power to restore to l the paper the circulation and the adYer- 1 Using patronage it had justly lost, only to find that they had been again deceiV- l ed; and
