THE Louisville Commercial is the
proposed title of new Republican
daily paper to be started in Louisville,
about the first of February, by Messrs-
RILEY s. Co. We hope the new men
are pretty stiff, financially, as it will
take a good deal of money to pay for
the privilege of getting the Asso-
ciaged Press dispatches, and the other
enormous .expences necessarily con-
nected with the Inauguration of a
frst-class daily. We say we hope the
new firm are strongly backed fnan-
cially, because we would dislike to see
a Republican paper started only to go
down in few months, and thereby
bring the cause of Republicanism
into still greater diseredit in that
State.
