PROPOSALS,

NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLiGENCER, to be
devoted 10 Politics, News and Commercial lnteiii-
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ 10 proinugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has beena subject Of re-
ilcrated complaint and regret. Circumstances OF 10,
yorable nature consprug measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
plercia Inieigeneer upon footing calculated 70 en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iehgeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere TO the principles OF the party which bfousnl

We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
in false poson-a position which exposes u TO
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
it's energies and which, in its threatened prosraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the asceudency OF federal misrnle
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions IN the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certainindcatons OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, just, honorable to deviae further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Infshi-
gcncsr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into our creed, and to
recfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there Is no power whilst II re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or ervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought TO he engaed upon our prln-
cipes and to be substituted in embraces we turn

ereiei Iaetgencer will labor to restore the Democra-
CIV again to its former vantage ground--to re-organne
its broken and dispirited egons--to rebuild It's crumb-
ling temples, and re-cstabllsh It's ancient ordinances
and behold it again fourlshng and predominant, re-
fleeing the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests of its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove fruitiess our admonons shall not be wanting.
| We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RonE MUST FALL, hcarcn
and earth shall ,ciiness that ioc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Htelhgeneer, will re-
cognze the organization OF the Republican Party IN tins
Civ as it was effected the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd of January 1888 The reso-
uons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to consonant TO Republican principles and

affairs.
