It cannet be denied, however, that the meanest
and most wful frauds are often perpetrated
Hardly ever is a county political convention
held which docs not bring to light evidence Of
corruption Of some kind at the primary meeting z

san2aton participates at the primary election
often fails to show that the proceedings were
conducted fairly and honestly.
There Is no doubt but that the Eeople are often

We ask fair comparison Of the Pass with the

Judgment Of our readers whether we do not furnish
a paper equally attractive at one-hslf or less than
half the cost of the other Cincinnati dailies.
The DAILY PRESS, since It came under the present

and has now probably as large circulation within
the city of CINCINNATI any other journal, and is in
creasug at rate equal to tho most sanguIne e1pec-
tations Of It's proprietors.
From its large circulation, and from Its size which
makes advertisements much more oonspicuous than
they can be in the large papers, The DAILY Press
oFers the most valuable advertising medium in this
city. Its advertising business has largely increased
and its columns are respectable exhibit of the busI-
ness and enterprise Of tho city. It's columns arc
pecay looked TO for large class OF
"wants" and "For saie," and for servants, etc.,
which almost Invariably bring prompt answers.
People who are out Of employment, or who want
help of any kind can place their needs before thou.

ty-ave.cent advertisement in THE DAILY PREss.
THE DAILY PREss has also larger circulation In
Oovington and Newport than the aggregate of all tho
other Cincinnati papers. mi. u
Business men IN Cincinnati can In no wsy increase
their business easily and certainly by advertiu
ing In this paper.
Routes can be easily established for the DAILY
PRESS in any Of the towns within days dis
TANGO Of Cincinnati by railroad, and carriers will find
that little energy and labor will build up routes
which will be valuable to them; and the great mum
Der of paper that can be distributed in al
most any town, will furnish handsome income to the
carrier. .r W.. ... .rU,.. nar r.. l..
We are ready to make arrangements for routes Ii,
towns not yet occupied with persons who can furnish
