THE* INTER-OCEAN. WEEKLY, $1.15; SEMI-WEEKLY, $2.50; t DAILY, SIO.OO. Tng fNTER-OoEAN,w*Hstcal Journal stands confessedly at tho lmad of the Republican press of tho tVeat, aud os a readable and reliable newspaper has a reputation second to nono. While It has never wavered in the stipnort ot patty principles, has never failed to do Its fall duty In critical limes, ami has never hesitated to strike hard blows In defensepf tho Republican cause, it has never ceased to'bo a good newspaper, independent of all political and party considerations. With tho record of seven yonrs’conscientious work and efficient servico behind it as acertificate of character, Tas Intku-Ockan enters upon the work of a new voar; enters upon the work of a year the most important, porliapa, in Its history, and the most moincutiis in tho history of the Republican partv. Linos arcnlrcady forming for the great battle of 1880, and the country has never felt the need of stauch and able supporters of principle for the eako of principle as it will in the coming year. It has keen the good fortune of Tine Intkr-Ocean to lead In tlie formation of public opinion, and to have a tremendous following, it lias maintained tllifl position as lejtder. iiec.aiuo.-jat.ita. unquestioned loyalty to.tlnj funamontal principles ot the party, its’boldness In defending them, and Its fairness in discussing great political questions. As Tub Intkr-Ocean has sounded the key-noto of the contests in past years. Republicans will look to it as a faithful guide and leader in the coming year. And they.will not be disappointed. The paper will stand, ns it always has stood, the organ of no faction or clique, battling in the front rank for the principles that have made the country what it is. Thb Inter-Ocean expects to receive from enemies nnd opponents hard blows, and toreturn them with interest. From Republicans and friends it expects only such consideration and fairness as nny political journal may claim at the bauds of those interested in tile success of the party arid in tlio triumph of party principles. The issues are sharply defined. On one side is the solid South aided by the Democratic party; ou the other the Republican party./ Naturally at such a time Republicans will turn to a paper able, aggressive, and ot unquestioned lovnlty. All that we ask is that they judge Thb Inter-Ocean by its own utterances, and not by what Democratic organs arid euviotis rivals sav of it. Outside of party considerations Republicans will choose the best newspaper. And in this particular The Inter-Ocean has no superiors, it is in every sense of the word a national newspaper, presenting home and foreign, news in an attractive shape, and accompanying It with intelligent comment. It will be as enterprising as any of its contemporaries, more accurate aud more discriminating. For two years its cnblo dispatches have been fuller and of higher character than those of anv other Western journal; its Wash-, ingtou aud'foroign etfmwpondene more readable. covering more topics of special and general interest, and its homo, correspondence more varied and riiore complete. All these departments will be continued, with such improvements affiled ns experience may suggest and increased facilities for collecting news allow. Independent of politics and news, men want a symmetrical, interesting, and wholesome journal for the family and the home. They will find such n paper in TnE Inter-Ocean', ' which do votes more attention than any other political newspaper to departments prepared Sriff'cSfitlftefSi wltlr the wants of home and family in view. This applies to Agricultural, Domestic, Educational, Scientific, and Social matters. '
