| THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
| THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER."
THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE
FOR 1880.
During the coining Presidential year The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has j
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife, j
But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist
ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country I
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and '
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to j
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It !
began by demanding the abandonment of personal |
dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever lit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster lias
been turned back; every doubtful state lias been
won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNES POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
I struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning
j phases of the campaign now beginning. It will
; earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
J and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
I and surest to make a good President. But in this
j crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party ,
I could make that would not be preferable to the best I
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South !
and Tammany Ilall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
| money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
| enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
I people. It secured, and means to retain it, by be
coining the medium of the bent thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeest
discussions, hearing ail sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
( to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
year, It is the only paper that maintains a special
telegraphic wire of its own between its oliice and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews
are the best, its commercial and financial ne**'s is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY Till BUN
is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the
country, having four times the circulation of any
other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
I large class of intelligent, professional or business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
| papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
! the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, seien
| titic matter, lectures, literary iniscellaiiey, etc,, for
I which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
i it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
| for binding,
TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
j remains the great favorite of our substantial country
i population, and has the largest circulation of any
| Weekly issued from the otlice of a Daily paper in
I New York, or, so far as we know, in the United
States. It revises and condenses all the news of the
j week into more readable shape, its agricultural do
I partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and
jit has always been considered the best. Its market
| reports arc the official standard for the Dairymen's
i Association, and have long been recognized author
j ity on cattle, grain and general country produce,
j There are special departments for the young and for
i household interests; the new handiwork department
j already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate
i and coinprelu nsive instructions in knitting, crochet-
J ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and
i the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied,
i The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who
| have returned to it during the past year is that they
| find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
i fact lit! as enable us to reduce the lutes to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to oticr the most
j amazing premiums yet given, as follows :
