Cincinnati is the most central of the
large cities of the Nation, and on all
sides is supported by thrifty and pros
porous communities, in which for hun
dreds of miles in every direction, the
Commercial is the favOrite newspaper.
In political sense the Commercial
is thoroughly independent. 1t recog-
nizes no obligations to party orgaDiza-
tions. Its sincerity in this position is
popularity understood, and so largely
appreciated that its subscribers and
habitual purchasers in either political
party outnumber those of the party
organs, and its aggregate circulation is
greater than that of its competitors
combined.
1t takes a hearty interest in the poll
tics of Europe, which telegraphic COM
has brought into very init
mate relations with US, and, earnestly
vindfeating and sustaining the devel-
opment OF nationality in Germany and
Italy, it cordially sympathiZes with
the Republican cause in France and
Spain.
The speciality Of the Commercial is
the news of the day. We spare no eff
fort and no expense at home or abroad,
to obtain by telegraph, by mail or ex-
press, the latest intelligence, and to
present it in the most attractive and
authentic form. Our Editorial remarks
upon events, and discussions OF the
events of the day, are according to our
judgment, having always
in view the efficacy of the truth in the
interests of the people. We 90 not
seek official favors or partisan patron
age, but rely wholly upon the business
that grows out of the respect and good
will of the public at large.
The current history of the world will
possess, this winter, exceptional inter-
est. The complications in our foreign |
even threatening war, must
constantly our serious con-
and the session of the |
American Congress about commencing,
will absorb in an unusual degree the
of the country, for the most
vital and searching issues, financial
and political. await practical solution
Our relations with political parties |
are such that we viii not be suspected |
of tampering with the-news in the in
terest of either. We mean to tell the |
plain truth, and publish all the news,
no matter whom it hits or whom it
helps or hurts. We expect to be as
and impartial in presenting
Intelligence as in dealing |
with political information.
Our agents are reminded that this
IS promising time to canvass for new
and it is our impression
hat if a careful and energetic effort
were made, there would be occasion to
increase orders largely.
We offer no other inducement to
than the reputation of the
Commercial for enterprise in collecting
he news, and honorable dealing with
The people in publishing it fairly.
