| II Is generally conceded by intelligent read
| ers having the opportunities OF comparison,
that in all that goes 70 make a first-cass
newspaper The Posi- has no equal among
| Michigan journals. In each of it's editions,
and IN all of its departments, 1t is edited with
great care preserves healthy and elevated
| tone, and has well-earned reputation for
ability, scholarship, good taste and vigorous
originality.
AS Family Newspaper, The WEEKLY Posi-,
while cullng from all sources OF information,
Is careful to remember that its columns are
for the young as well az the old, and that the
morals as well as the mind are part OF
newspaper education. While hoping to pro-
mote the general good through this medium,
It will scrupuiously guard against doing in
dividual harm.
The literary character Of The WEEKLY Posr
is higher In tone and broader in scope than
! that OF any other Detroit paper. Its News
Department is edited with reference to furnish
ing the most accurate information on the
most subjects. The twenty-five to forty COL
umns OF telegraphic dispatches received each
week by THE DAILY Posi- are carefully con-
densed and summarized especially for the
| WEEKLY, and thus tbs news from all parts OF
the world is given with each issue. In addition,
1t employs large corps OF local correspond
ents IN the State whose especial duty it to give
more IN detail an account OF domestic events.
The proceedings CT State organizations, the
Legislature, religious. educational, and other
local bodies, are all carefully reported.
The Market Reports gwen 10 the various
editions OF The Posr are BIZ all odds more full
and reliable than those of any Of its Detroit
contemporaries. each separate issue being care
fully revised and corrected.
The Post has been gaining ground steadily
FOR several years IN the estimation or the read
ing public as the
Best Paper for Michigan Readers
Published IN the State, and there are thou
sands of families who maintain this opinion,
as the result OF impartial and intelligent OBJ
servation. Whatever measure will enlarge it's
character in this regard and establish new
claims to confidence aud respect will be
promptly adopted.
The POLITICs OF The POsT.
The posr WILL continue to be in the future
Whist has been IN the past, a faithful aud
earnest advocate ~ the principles and organiza-
ton OF the Req ~Jlican party. Without the
| latter the former must necessarily be dead
letter. No great political measures can be
effected in republic except through parties
| and party organization. Good doctrines may
| may be preached, and the wisest and most
benefcent theories evolved, through individ-
ual agencies, but 1t is only by the combined
agency OF individuals working through party
that any practical Impress can be made upon
| the ADMINISTRATOR OF SOVerIulent. Iue peOple
| Of the country will always be divided into two
| principal parties, one or the other OF which
mu~t control public affairs. The Post believes
that IN the fundamental principles upon which
| the Republican party was organized, In its ira
ditions, it's impulses. its general tendencies
and tone, and IN the mental and moral charac.
teristics OF the great masses composing it.
may be found the basis upon which rest the
best hopes OF the country. Individual men,
bers OF 1t may prove corrupt or inefficient {;
| some or It's measures or policies may be un-
wise wrongs and defects will exhibit them
selves in this, as in every other human organ
ization that has existed since the world began
But underlying every lmperfection, it has a
| better fiber than party that has admins
| tered the Government since the adoption OF
| the Constitution in the last century and it has
| done more for the good Of mankind, and for
party that has ever existed. Whatever errors
| and abuses may grow up III it can also be cor.
rected in it, and the Republican party is safer
| 70 be trusted with Ich a reformation than its
lifelong opponents, who we're the first TO set
| the example of corruption, fraud and specula-
ton eur public affairs.
| The Post will be an hndependant Republican
| newspaper within the Republican party. lt
will fearlessly expose anc seek to reform the
abuses and wrongs OF its own party. IL will
boldly oppose measures and pol!ces which 1T
| believes to be unwise. Ii will not be the slave
but the true aud faithful friend and honest
| critic Of the organization with which ii acts.
and through whose agency Il AIMS 70 secure
wise legislation and an honest government.
For political journal to pretend TO lie - lnde-
pendent" OF party has been proved bv ex-
perience to be a gaunt humbug and lying
cheat. The journal which undertakes that rCie
almost always degent rates into q common
| scold and nuisance. earning the contempt of
both parties. ana is neither better nor worse
than mere bushwhacker. This odious position
The Post will pever occupy. Ii is Republican
all over and all through and 1t viii continue
to be Republican so long as the Republican
party represents as 1t does now. the best in
tellect end the best heart of the Nation the
the nights OF a common humanity the progress
of the American people. and the highest in
