TNHE CINCINNATI WEEKLY GA.
i ZETTE 10 printed on large folio
sheet containing thirty-six columns, an
average of thirty three Of which are hlled
With reading matter, carefully seleeted
and made up with view TO adapting the
paper TO all classeB Of readers---thc family,
the merchant, the farmer, the mechanic,
the professional man and the politician.
No space being wasted 10 margin, as in the
case Of quarto papers, we print more read
ing matter than any other weekly newspa-
per in the United States while at the same
time our prices are lower than those Of
Eastern Journals. We address all our pa
pers to the names of subscribers without
extra charge. This proves great eonven-
fence to those who take the paper in clubs
The paper contains the leading editori.
sls published in the daily, so far as they
are of more than local interest; synopsis
of Congressional proceedings, and Of the
Legislatures of Ohio, Kentucky and Indi-
ana when in session; Washington news;
the principal foreign. and domestic letters
supplied by our large corps of correspond
ents; commercial and financial reports
prepared exclusively for our columns; re-
ports Of the great cattle markets, including
New York, which is reported and trans
mitted specially for this paper, up to the
evening preceding the day Of publication.
By employing ar extensive corps of cor
respondents and freely using the tele-
graph, we are able to give news from all
parts of the United States and Europe,
down to the hour of publication, thus an
tcipating Eastern papers from three to
hive days. Our aim is to make the Gazette
indispensable to Western readers, and to
make its news so general and comprehen-
slve, that its place cannot be supplied by
New York publishers. In this we have
succeeded, and the Gazette is now eoneed-
ed to be superior as general newspaper,
to any New York publication. Oul efforts
in this regard have been rewarded by 9
largely increased subscription list.
The principles of the Gazette are Repub-
lican. While wecriticise freely the actions
Of leading men Of this party, we adhere to
the fundamental principles Of the organi-
zation, because we believe the success of
these principles essential to the interests
of the country.
In addition to the many important ques-
tiOns of financial and political ehnrac-
ter to be disposed of during tile year, the
Presidential election takes place in 1868.
1t is, therefore, important, in oldeF that
electors may discharge faithfully and in
teligently their duties, that reliable pa
per should be in the hands of every voter.
The best electioneering documents are the
newspapers, to be circulated and read be-
fore the excitement of campaign warps
thu judgment aud excites the partisan pref
udlces Of the people. A small percentage
of the money spent in disseminating what
are called documents, when candidates are
in the field, if used in circulating newspa-
peIs, would lead to the best RESULTS. The
latter will be read from week to week by
the tireside, the arguments and facts they
present carefully considered, and the iudg-
ment made up long before committees be-
gin to circulate their campaign documents.
While we would not detract from the i'm
pOrtanee of the latter, we would urge up
on our friends in school districts the ad-
vantages that may be expected from tho
wide circulation of reliable newspapers.
These are the best educators of the masses.
in order that there may be no objection
on the score of price, we have arranged the
terms of the Gazette at the lowest point
consistent with the safety of our business.
The cost Of producing newspapers is very
nearly as high now as at any time during
the war, there having been no reduction
in the price of labor, while the
decline in the cost Of paper is not equal to
the reduction in our terms, which are as
follows.
