THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN
TKE NORTHWEST.
THE INTER-0CEAN

Established less than two years since a. . |
representative Republican paper, pledged to
maintain and defend the principles and Or |
party, the lnter-Ocean has attained a circu- /.
fation and influence with the masses of its
voters everywhere to entitle it to az oroach
the commencement of q new calendar year,
and to prepare for the preliminary work Of
the next campaign, the shadow of which il
already casting itself upon the country, In
need no other specific pledge for the future
than has been given in its columns from
day to day during the past eighteen months.
Since its first publication it has maintained
The Leading Republican Newspaper

To which 1t has assigned by universal as

The Ene.ass II the Ceuntry
Are vigilantly at work. Despite the over
1872, the opposition are skilleully massing
their forces for Q more determined onslaught
upon the Republican organization at the
aged by the apathy OF Republicans in the
.Of year, seizing the unprecedented flnan-
cfal stidngency as Pretext, and using as o
cultural classes for better and cheaper modes
Of transportation than now exist.
The DenAoeraey,
Den1agogues eager for ONCE, Is getting itself
into readiness to become once more the
Ruling Party Of the nation.
The old Democracy Of Secession and Rebel
lion Is being warmed into life by the appa-
rent reverses Republicanism has suffered in
the North. The election Of Allen in Ohio,
the triumph of Tammany in New York,
and the few desultory successes which have
come to Anti Republican tickets in various
states Of the West and Northwest, have in
spfred the rebels Of 1851 with the hope that
the day Is dawntng when the Lost Cause IL
to be voted into = victory they failed to
achieve by means Of the bullet and bay
onet. Already r. n. T. Hunter, a former
Senator from Virginia. and q member Of the
Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has published his
scheme for the virtual payment Of
Feur Hundred Millie.s Of Dollar.
for the Emancipated Slaves OF the
south.
The Richmond, Va, Wing and Governor
Gilbert Walker are urging this plan with
ali perfinacity; and there can be little doubt
| that . large party OF Southern Representa-
| tives IN the Forty-third Congress will be pre-
! pared to advocate the payment OF this mon
| ey by the General Government. The past
| history OF the Democratic party. gives no
| warrant that it Will oppose this Infamous
| robbery OF the people of the North for the
lenent Of traitors; but If the party is true to
itself and its instincts, the South VIII tind it
| ana It's representatives Suhserviept ally.
The Payment of the Rebel Debs
| Is another scheme that is broadly limited ut
| doubt, one Of the projects to which the lead
ing Democrats Of that section would address
themselves If the time should ever come
| when majority of the Northern States and
the General Government should be in the
hands OF the party which helped the rebels
in their work of destroying the Union.
| These are not fancif0l issues. 1Ney are
! real dangers, either to be met face to face, or
else to be squelched In their inception by
