POLITICS OF THE GERMAN AMERICAN
PRESS.
Within the last five years the character Of
the German press OF this country has been
elevated in a very high degree. The persecu-
tons Of the reactionary party following the
revolution of 1913, exile0 from Germany many
of the more learned writers and original think
ers of the country, most of whom found a
refuge in the United States, when quietly set
tling throughout the country, they betook
themselves to various industrial occupations
many of them, at complete variance with those
Ithey formerly pursued. The character of the
lpopulation OF the States, improved by these
acc il Is, d inandt d more respectable and
better conducted class Of newspapers than was
before known here; and as a demand generally
occasions a supply, it was not long before new
Journals were established, and the old estab-
ilished ones improved The new ones almost
without exception, opposed slavery, and when
the republican party was organized, ardently
embraced that cause. Many of the older ones
also were obliged by public opinion to follow
their example, while others have not as yet
iopenly declared in favor Of the Free State
movement.
The German vote throughout the United
States is large one, and at the approaching
lelection will mostly be cast for the Republican
candidates. For the information of our read
ers we have prepared a classified list Of the
most important German papers throughout
the Union, which will be found pretty accu-
rate. For the political views of many Of the
papers, we are indebted to the Stats Zeitung
of this city, which being decided Hunker
journal, is not inclined to grant anything to-
the Republicans to which they are not en-
Titled.
In the following list, those in Roman are
'Democratic-and though many oppose the
Nebraska Bill, favor in general Democratic
measures. Several, ,wever will be found on
the Republican side before the election Those
in small capitals are Republican, while those
in italics (though mostly favcring Republican,
sm) can be at present classed as neutrals:
