The Daily state register. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1870-1872, 1870-12-29
INTRODUCTORY.

Appeal to-day receive the paper under
q new name, and under different man
s,gement. The Daily State Register
s~upersedes the journal which has long
leen 30 intimately associated with the
growth and prosperity of Carson.
Names are, Of themselves, OF but little
Importance. In making the change in
the title Of the paper W. have mainly
followed our personal fancy rather
than FIR any special reason; still mark
ing, as this paper does, the beginning
II . new chapter in the political history
of Nevada, and the utterancc of n diff
,crent political tone in these columns,
tho change may not ae considered in
appropriate.
The original form Of the paper has
l,een considerably enlarged, enabling
is to furnish a much larger amount of
reading matter at each issue. We have
made arrangements with the Western
Union Telegraph Company for the
daily publication Of tho Eastern and
Pacific Coast dispatches. Hereafter
there will be nc necessity for any resi-
dent Of Carson, or vicinity, to send
abroad for telegraphic intelligence.
Whistler 1t be war in Europe, politics
Ia America, or the domestic news of
our Coast, 1t will be reflected u every
mornings type. A number of expe-
Tienccd correspondents in various por-
tions Of the State will frequently add
10 the value and interest OF our col
umns. During the session of the Leg
islature we shall make up a copious
record of the daily proceedings, plac-
ing It within the power Of the constitu-
ents of every member to trace the
course OF their representative on the
leading measures Of tho session, and
10 obtain an accurate idea of the gen
eral progress and tendency Of legisla-
ton. Realizing that the value of a
newspaper mainly depends on the
fulness and reliability of its local in
telligence, we shall give special atten-
ton to this department, photograph
ing the passing events Of each day as
closely rs they may transpire. The
decisions Of the Supreme Court will be
published, and the proceedings of the
United States Courts, Land Office,
Mint, &C.; tho Board Of County Com
missioners and all public offices will
be carefully collated. In brief, we
shall endeavor to hold a mirror up to
the times and TO catch events in their
coming and going, that the State Reg
lister may DO Of interest to its readers
and ereditable to the Capitol.
To successfully accomplish this pur-
pose, of curse we arc subjected to
many additional expenditures-much
moreth than any other journal heretofore
Published In Carson. We trust that
our efforts to approach a near as our
limited lean will permit to "a higher
staudard Of newspaper value will be
appreciated, and that we may be met
by . corresponding spirit by the citi-
Of this county and Of tho State.
