How the Country Papers Stand
from the National Republican, 1lh.1

The political status of the country press is
not SO much an Indication of the division OF
public sentiment among the entire people as
among the white half of our population. The
colored masses are solid for the Republican
ticket and could not afford to vote otherwise,
even if large percentage of them were news
paper readers and were thus influenced by
journalistic arguments We print the subj join
ed list for the information and convenience
of the Liberal politicians, assembled in the
city, We think they need light, and are GER
tain that their own organs have not got
enough enterprise to give it to them. If We
have made any errors and set any paper down
wrongly it will be promptly and checrfully
corrected:
