Springfield, Mass.
First of New England newspapers
foremost in all provincial journalism
widest in variety and frecst in scope O.
all the American daily and weekly press
this is the effort and very generally
the conceded distinction of TuE SPRING
FIELD REPUBLICAN.
To begin with, it is a NEWSPAPER
prompt, faithful, intelligent, thorough
and impartial, as early as the earliest
and more carefully collated and condens.
cd than most Second, it is a Political
Journal,-as the press of every republi.
can nation should be-decided in its
views, but not partisan; free from en-.
tanglement or office-prone and pledged
to speak independently and honestly Of
men and measures, and recognizing, as
its highest duty, the aiding of the people
in securing the best men, without regard
to locality or mere partizanship, for their
servants in the business of governing
themselves. Third,-it opens its columns
freely to all questions concerning Mans
Higher Nature and Deeper Relations
to God and his fellow man, land minis
tiers to his knowledge of himself and the
ways Of making himself useful not only
to himself and his family but to Society
at large. 1t holds that no journal has
an excuse for being that does not labor
to make life richer and happier to every
man and woman that reads it,-that
does not seek the bctterment Of every
ones condition, physically, morally and
intellectually,-that does not endeavor
to bring all classes of society into closer
fellowship and sympathy, and teach in
every fashion the great lesson to "help
one another" FOURTH labors gener-
ously in the wide fields of Literature and
Science, alike as critic, exponent and re-
corder.
More particular YIN political affairs,
The Republican is sharply Independent
and critical pleading for the highest
standards of public service; cXacting the
utmost intelligence and integrity of men
in office; pursuing the corrupt without
qualification and the careless with i'm
patience and demanding conspicuous re-
forms in all our administrative service
and in the laws for the collection of
revenue.
1t encourages men to demand for women
and women for Themselves a larger share
in all the pressing work Of ife--and
equality Of duties and Of rights, of re-
sponsibilities and of privileges, because
it believes that in the largest individual
freedom and the faircst division of labor
lie the most sure and satisfactory advance
ment of society and the widest personal
happiness.
To all questions embraced in the phrase
Social Science, it gives a welcome hearing
and an earnest word for these are the
real topics of the present and the future !;
it is with these that government and So
ciety have now most to concern them
selves.
To literature and science and art The
Republican offers unusal space for gen.
eral newspaper, recording fully all their
development, and inviting it by criticism
and Illustration. To these themes, as
they relate to and adorn home life, is
this journal especially attentive.
To be, in short newspaper that shall
be prompt and full in passing history and,
at the same time an incentive to the
noblcst thought and the most earnest &C.
tion in politics, in philanthropy, and in
society, and pure ministrant to the en-
terta:nment and instruction of all person
al and domestic life,-this is the idea
and the effort of The Republican The
means it adopts for these ends are simple
rather than sensational. but they embrace
the best instrumentalties in journalism.
1t makes no appeal to the public ear with
high'sounding names or gilittering spec-
alties while it declines to rob one sub.
scrlber of any share of his money to buy
another with strawberry vines or sewing
machines but it is content to be Judged
by the results of its intelligent and con-
scientious integrity, and the steady char
acter that time shall bring to it.
For the New Year, The Republican
has various Improvements, typographical
and editorial in store for its friends. Its
staff of writers and correspondents is
greatly increased and diversified within
a few months; the issue has put on the
permanent form of double sheet; its
reading contents are largely increased
and varied and new fast press is con-
structing for its service.
Both the Daily and Weekly editions
are printed on large and handsome
quarto sheet of eight pages and 4S col
umns and of the Weekly only single
page is dedicated to advertisements while
its reading pages are carefully revised
and freshcned and unified, as those of
no other weekly issued from daily office
in the country.
