In years of loyalty to its IDEAL the Republican has
proved the integrity tho usefulness and the popularity
Of independence In journalism On all public ques.
tions whether Of politics. social order and develop
ment, religion, or literature II has sought mpartality
Of intelligence, beraty Of sentiment independence
Of opinion, and courage Of uttorauco. Not pretending
that these the exclusive Offices of journalism,
It's own is the only way, 1t has made them its aims,
and II may now say Its attachments.
As u newspaper, the Republican Is encyclopedia and
impartial seeking to cover the whole wide field of act
and progress with Nilness, intelligence and prompt
ness,to give all news local and general in its true
order and relations, and without verbal padding or
magnifying confusion.

welcoming truth from every quarter, and seeking 10
llbenze and elevate every organization and candida
cy that appeals to popular favor, and thcn Oncourag
ing the choice of the best 1t is positive witho ut being
partisan, dogmatic without being blgoted, indepen-
dent without being neutral. The enemy Of shams in
politics, religion or sOclety-of frauds In tho public
service, Of corrupton and Incompetence everywhere
It places truth and reform and progress above parties
sects persons and seeks the Of all agencies
for the be!torment Of government and tho increased
comfort and intelligence Of society.
That the Republican has succeeded in these under
takngs Is shown by local circulation and influence
beyond parallel in journalism, and national reading
and reputation never before attained by paper so
provinclally placed. In its own immediate field, its
circulation is not only beyond all rivals but greater
in proportion to population than that Of any paper in
tho world while outside, not only in New England,
but In tho middle states, the West and the South it
has gained for itself both chron ice Of u
representative Of advanced and liberal thought an
eclectic constituency Of subsc bers and readers such
as, in both numbers and character, other American
Journal, outside Of New York, at least, can boast.
Its past Is the prophet Of Its future. To be more
thorough and intelligent ehronicier, and

more independent in judgment aud appeal, are the
purposes Of the Republican In News, in Politics, in
Social Reforms in Education in Literature and in Art
