The Portland Daily PRESS is published, post
age free, for 81 90 a year, which makes it one
of the very cheapest papers in the state, and
in size it is little larger than any of them.
Its editorial management is of character that
is felt in the state, whatever may be thought OF
the soundness of some of the views promul-
gated. Its news department, markets, &C., are
full and reliable. The Maine State PRESS, the
weekly edition, is intended to be a first class
weekly paper During the year the publishers
have made arrangements to have full agricul-
tural department. conducted by gentleman OF
experience, assisted by able correspondents.
In addition to this, the Geographic news OF the
week is carefully reviewed and rewritten, and
and given under the head of a weekly Review,
thus giving the reader in brief clear manner,
every matter which transpires for the week.
The publishers of the PRESS announce that
thew have nothing else in view but to make a
valuable newspaper, healthy and independent

newspaper, is noted for its independent char

lFrom the Rockland Gazette.]
We shouldn't like to be obliged to ''keep
house" in a newspaporial sense without the
daily visits of the Portland PRESS, which
brings us the news seven hours in advance of
the Boston dailies. The PRESS gives full tele-
graphic news and commercial reports, besides
state news, correspondence and vigorous edito-
rails 1t is O wde-awake, able, and independ-
ent paper, and is published at 81 year, includ-
ing postage, which is very low price for SO
valuable daily paper. The Maine State
PRESS is an excellent weekly newspaper.
[From the Rockland Free-Press)
One of the best exchanges that comes to our
table, is the Portland Daily PRESS. 1t is first
class news paper, giving full telegraphic re-
DORIS, of domestic and foreign news and treat.
ing with enterprise and ability matters of pub
lie interest. The weekly PRESS, issued by the
same publishers, is also desirable newspaper.
[From the Brunswick Telegraph
The PRESS is received here by the early
morning trains and contains full digest of
the news of the day. 1t is ably edited aud
looks after home interests, just what Maine
paper should do. 1t is now offered at W year
strictly in advance, including postage, which
Is yery low indeed for so valuable paper. The
weekly PRESS. issued by the same publishers,
is also desirable newspaper. Published by
the Portland Publishing Company.
[From the Saco independently
The Portland PRESS, now in its teens, de-
serves the success it appears to enjoy, judging
from the freshness of its type, the quality OF It's
paper, the quantity of its advertising and other
indications of prosperity. 1t has the same tel
egraphic news as is furnished to the associated
press throughout the country, beside local de-
spatches from private correspondents in vari-
GUS parts of the state and county, and can lay
them before ts.readers in this vicinity tfye hours
earlier than the Boston dailies so that man
can read his PRESS at or before breakfast and
then go about his ordinary avocations, con-
scious that he is fully informed OF the chief
topics of discussion in social scientific, polit-
cal, literary or religious circles. Its well-writ-
ten editorials are Independent in thought and
style; its collection of news items throughout
this state is remarkably full and accurate, and
and its respondence-notably that af "Yar-
mouth Hon. Isaac III. Bailey, who writes
from New York aud Washington, on political
and other topics full and entertaining. AS
proof of its independence, we hear that some
Tabid partsans threaten to start new Repub-
lican paper in Portland, that shall be more sub
servient to dictation; but an "organ" that
grinds out that tune will soon "play out" Our
citizens, especially those having business rela-
lions in Portland ard this state, can better af-
ford to do without the Boston papers than with
out the PRESS, unless they can take both.
