Cincinnati is the most central and the most
| the Nation, and on all sides is supported by
thrifty and prosperous communities, IN which
the place of publication, the Commercial is The
faVOrite newspaper.
In political sense the Commercial is thor
oughly independent. 1t recognizes no Obliga-
tions to party organizations. Its sincerity in
this position is popularity understood, and so
largely appreciated that its subscribers and ha-
bitual purchasers in either political party out
number those of the party organs, and its ag-
gregate circulation Is greater than that of its
competitors combined,
In politics the Commercial occupies .'the field
of independent journalism" meaning thereby
the territory outside the party fences-the
woods pasture and unfenced prairieS, so to
speak. AS we understand it, we are in posses
sion of all that open country that we can occupy
and we intend TO abide there, or, at least To
look to it as our base of operations. If We enter
a party inclosure it will be with the fence down
behind us. We have not the slightest disposi-
tfon to try, as a steady thing, the dry fodder
and dusty husks and stale straw OF the party
stables, whereiM 1.-THE OK knOWeth his owner
and the ass his masters crib We would pre-
fer in case of necessity to browse in the wilder
ness. The Commercial has no favors to ask OF
politicians and no dread of them.
The news of the day is our speciality. Wespare

attractive and authentic form. We propose 10
print all the news without reference TO its party
bearings, and our everyday work and mission
are to reduce the percentage of stealing in the
transaction OF the public business and often
will be on the other side We do not mean bv
stealing only or chiefly pocket-picking and
bold apprOpl iations by burglars, but all The
processes by which persons who do not earn
when they do SO through Determinations
against the unwary, in the laws: and swlndles,
that disguised by those who get their living
out of yolitics as public services.
Our EDITORIAL remarks upon events and dis
cussons of the questions of the day, are accord
ing to our best judgment, having always in view
the efficiency of truth, in the interests of the
people. We assume as thoroughly under
stood fact that our RELATIONS with political par
ties such that we shall not be suspected of
either. We mean TO tell the plain truth, no
matter whom 1t hits or whom it helps
or hurts. we expect 10 be as thorough
gence, which is OF constantly increasing inter-
est and importance to the general public, in
dealing with political information. We do not
seek official favors or partisan patronage, but
rely wholly upon the business that grows out
OF The respect and good will of the public at
large.
The Cincinnati Commercial takes a hearty
interest in the politics of Europe, which tele-
graphic communication has brought into Very
Intimate relations With us, and earnestly vim
