NEW YORK TRIBUNE
The Leading American Newspaper

Founded by Horace Greeley
TN THE RECENT ELECTIONS
4 the people have declared in favor OF
honesty in politics and independence
in journalism. THE TRIBUNE, which
years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be q party organ,
claims the verdict, as the popular vim
dication of its course, and recognizes
in the result the voice of the people
for reform aud integrity in govern
ment, for candor and independence
among newspapers. During the cam
paign which has just closed The TRr-
BUNE has fully maintained its right to
the title of tho "Leading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following,
among other reasons:
1t publishes all the news, earlier,
more fully, and more intelligently than
any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout the
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their just and
legal rights.
1t advocats confidence and good feel
ing between North aud South, and
labors for an honest and abiding re-
Cancellation.
1t maintains fairness and can1or to
ward all public men and questions, and
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports;
discussions and discoveries to degree
of fullness and accuracy never before
attained by any paper.
I 1t gives every week ten or more
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in the aggregate than the
entire contents of any other agri-
cultural publication, and the whole
forming a department of which an
eminent agricultural editor said: "It
has done more to make good farmers
than any other influence which ever
existed"
1t has published a series of scientific
and literary extras which have met a
wider scale and more emphatic popu-
lar approval than any similar publica
ton of the kind.

To-day The New-York Tribune is
undoubtedly the first of American
newspapers; whatever may be said of
TITS rivals, it has clearly won prece-
dence of all, and very creditably does
it represent the journalism of the coun-
try. While dealing with all the topics
coming within the range of a newspa-
per, The Tribune makes speciality
of The great subject Of agriculture. 1t
becomes therefore a matter OF vital i'm
portance to the country that the direc-
ton OF the ideas of this vast section
| should be in able and conscientious
hands, and a matter for congratulation
that the farmers newspaper par excel
lence has the high standing Of The
| Tribune The (N.aY.) South. =.
