The natural ripening q great causes into
great events marks the past year as an era In
American Politics and In American Journalism
With the equal abandonment and extinction Of
all opposition to the principles Of freedom snd
equal rights pass away the POLITICAL division Of
] the last quarter ola century. There is no more
a southern party and a Northern party, a ne
gro party and an anti-negro party no more,
in the tense OF the past, a republican patty and
a Democratic party. In Journalism, at the
/ same time, the Independence, which has been
misinterpreted as Indifference, aud the person.
atty, which was denounced as responsibility,
are now seen in their higher and broader char
acter. ord their reforming and eleyating iniiu-
ences ace fast growing in public recognition.
Party Journalism has been decaying since Thur
/ low Weed retired, and with the deaths Of Ben
nett and Greeley, Personal journalism takes its
departure.
] In this Political revolution and in this growth
/ Of Higher Journalism, The Springfield Repub-
| licaR may honorably claim position as pioneer
and prophet. IL has sought long and earnestly
for the results now so happily promised in our
politics, the extinction OF sectiOnalism, thu
protection Of all men in equal rights, and the
reform Of the Administration Service; and il
has given token that, In seeking these results
it was independent both Of parties and men,
that it cared more for the ends than for main
tanning in power any party organization Or
in office any set Of men. So, too, il has long
held itself above the personality Of any man

bounds Of any present lives What it is now,
its past has made it,-what it will be, its pres

all who accept it rs an Instructor and leader.
In the details of its character and execution
as Public journal, The Republican is too
well known to require much description or pro-
mise The same spirit that has animated il for
q generation inspires il still,-the one encour-
aged and deepened by faith in Human Pro-
gress that has been justified by the vast advance
n personal liberty and individual comfort, that
he world has witnessed during that period, -
and the other broadened and cultivated by 50
long an active experience in the details of Jour-
nalism. The papers stat of editors, reporters
and correspondents has been greatly enlarged
within the last year, and never was SO strong
and varied in character and capacity as now
Their work tells their quality. The Republican
does not hang its character upOn mere names
as putting its price at the lowest for the article
offered, il has no surplus from one set of sub
scribers to invest in pictures and books to in
yite others.
