| THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS is not only a credit
to the city but also to the State 1t is as large
as most of the Boston daes and in point of ability
deserves high rank. Its editorials are not often dull
but usually have fresh and sparkling style not COM
mon in our daily exchanges. The Press also has
the full telegraphic dispatches OF the Associated
| Press, and regular correspondence from washington
New ork, and the principal cities of our own State.
During the session of he legislature it will have spe-
cal dispatches every night containing the substance
of the days proceedings. Any movement that looks
to the material growth of the State always finds in
the Press hearty advocate. 1t should have large
