THE WEEKLY SUN.

1776. NEW YORK. 1876.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the Centennial year. It is also the year in, which an Opposition House of. Representatives. the first since the war,' will be in power at Washington: and the year of the twenty-third election of a President of the United States. All of these events are sure to be of great interest and importance, espe--cially the two latter; and all of them and everything connected with them will be fully and freshly reported and expounded in Th* Sun. The Opposition House of Representatives, taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago by The Son, will sternly and diligently Investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant’s administration; and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation for a new aud better period in our national history. Of all this The Sun will contain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers with early and trustworthy information upon these absorbing topics. The- 7 twenty-third Presidential election, with the preparations for it, will be memorable as deciding upon Graft’s aspirations for a third term ol power anti plunder, and still more as deciding who shall’be the candidate of the party of Reform, aud as electing that candidate. Concerning all these subjects, those who read The Son will have the constant means of being thoroughly well informed. The Weekly Son, which has attained a circulation of over eighty thousand copies, already has its readers iu every State and Territory, and we trust that the year 187 C will see their numbers doubled.
