A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The "Presidential year" Is always a
reading year with the American people.
IL imposes extraordinary duties on Jour
nails from which the people may usual
ly expect not only tho news of the day,
but intelligent discussion of public ques.
tions and cnunciation of opinions. While
this is true in general sense the wear be-
fore us Is likely, in n political sense, To he
one of unusual interest; the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there arc indica-
tions of alliances and purposes altogether
novel i'm our politics. The elections Of the
past year have resulted In almost an un-
broken series of Republican Victories
General Grants administration has recev
cd the unquvocal Endorsement of the
American people; and there is every in
dicatiOn now that. as the Republican can
didatc, he will he reelected Prcsid MT As
an Independent Republican Paper the
COMMERCIAL will in the future, as in the
past, render an undertaking SupnOrt to
Republican Principles, holding that the
good of the Republic requires that the
Government should remain i'm the hards
of the party that saved il i'm the great life
or death struggl In the future as In the
past il will speak its own views regarding

fir discussion only can safe conclusions
be reached and the independence of the
press preserved. In this regard we can
say simply that the COMMERCIAL will he
true O. itself aud its established character.
As Newspaper, nothing will be spared
to maintain tho poSition which the COM
MERCIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals of the dav. for news enter

agitatcd, and the American reader will
likely find much in them tu attract his Mt
tcntion. At home all is life and pu, n.
Railroads are being constructed every
w.Icre; new projects arc almost daily pro-
claimed reputation is increasing; inter-
prise in,elligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and the prospect for the
wonder ful activities of our country issto
say the least, cNtrom 'ly encouraging.
