crowded cities, where thousands vainly ostle

but OF each section and every useful class, is

The TRIBUNE aims TO be prominently a
Newspaper. Its correspondents traverse
every State, are present on every important
battlefield, are early advised Of every notable
Cabinet decision, observe the proceedings of
Congress, OF Legislatures, and OF Conventions.
