history one of the longest and richest in American journalism, has from
generation to generation preserved the same sterling character. The
objects of its conductors may be easily stated. They wish to keep it
as public-spirited as the _Evening Post_ of Hamilton and Coleman; as
ardent in defense of democracy and the oppressed as the _Evening Post_
of Leggett; as dignified, elevated, and fearless as the _Evening Post_
of Bryant, Bigelow, and Godwin; as keen, intellectual, and aggressive
as the _Evening Post_ of Godkin and Schurz, Ogden and Horace White; and
to add what they can to this noble record.
