Unionist newspaper's goals are stated in its first edition as "A Journal devoted to the maintenance of the

Richard Moynan begins as a political illustrator with the paper in April.
7 March – 18 April: The Times publishes a series of articles on "Parnellism and Crime" quoting letters implicating

Phoenix Park Murders. A special commission, known as the "
Parnell Commission", is proposed to investigate the allegations, as well as investigate links between the
Home Rule party and the
Fenians, eventually (in 1890) proving the letters forgeries written by
Richard Pigott.[1]
