Chicago Post.
The Post is universally acknowledged
TO be one Of the Invest and splciest papers.
in the country. 1t is always brim iuii Oh
the freshest and most interesting news:
Its commercial and market reports are fuli
and reliable. 1t is now one Of the nhiest,
best, largest and cheapest papers pnoiis,ni-
ed in the West. What now spcc,aiiy
commends the Post to Republicans, rs the
fact. that in the bitter conflict IN Chlcaso
between the Republican party and the
"Peopes'," or Johnson Democratic party,
the Post is the only English daily that
stands firm with the Republicans.
Beneath the above slip, sent us by the Chi
eago Post, are the two words "Please

The Post is liberal; it exchanges with
us on equal terms as does the Journal; the
Times we purchase at half price, the Re-
publican we used to get in equal exchange,
but it does not come now not much loss,
for we are already in receipt of SO many
papers that our desk is a foot deep
every morning. When exchanges dry

The Post requests us to publish, as
editorial, the notice at the head Of this ar
ticle. We always write our orn remarks Of
political character. Medicinal humbugs,
hair oils, &C., &c., are advertisements SC
well known to the reader as not to involve
Ms as their indorsers. The Post is an ex
cellent, lively, able, bitter, radical paper
but that it is the only Republican paper in
Chicago we do not believe. Its contem-
poraries, the Tribune, Journal and Repub-
lican thought proper to waive partisanism
= where the issue was "public Plumber vs.
the People," and the result proves, by
10000 majority, that they were correct IN
judgment as we'll as in policy. Per contra
the Post is wrong. The papers
we name as on the Peoples side, are
entitled to the warmest regard OF the
country, and they are receiving it from all
sectioas. We are glad of it. 1t is time
that srings' should be broken up, and
these papers have rendered signal aid.
The Times played good, strong hand to
effect the purpose, and it is also entitled
to high encolnium, but not to SO great
need of praise as the others. The Times
and its democratic supporters were in
hopeless minority against the regular
opposition they secured halt the nomin'
ees on mixed ticket, and blindness 'only
would have caused them to refuse an
alliance of forces when "half Loaf was
assured them by that alliance. The Times
is an able paper, we'll strategized, went
against the pharmacies" and carried the
democratic vote with it, but its political
interests formed a compulsory power
which, in selGshness, it could not resist.
The three representative.papers of Chica-
70 Republicanism had no such motives,
because they already had the..power. We
do not agree with the Post in assuming
that it is the only Republican paper in
Chicago. Its rivals forfeited no political
respect by declining to act as the indorsers
of ,roren city thieves in public Office, and
the independent thinkers of all parties SO
look at the subject. The Post has blum
dered in estimating the strength Of Chica-
80 official fraud.
