The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1875-02-11

From the Camden Herald.
The PRESS is ably edited and conducted, and
full of news. The Maine State PRESS is a first
class Weekly, made up from the Daily. The
Geographic news is carefully rewritten and
given under the head of Weekly Review. In
addition to this there is an agricultural depart
ment ably conducted. On the whole the two
papers occupy the front rank among Maine
newspapers.
From the Arson Advscate-Dem.l
The Portland PRESS is a very ably conducted
newspaper; albeit we don't endorse its politics.
1t however rises above the mere partisan and
independently discusses politics, though fls)n9a
Republican standpoint. It's very bitter on all
political rings, notably the 'Hamln ring"
which it f1ayed numerically during the Sena.
torial canvass. Outside of politics the PRESS
is first class newspaper.
The Maine State Press is intended to be q
first class weekly paper. During the year ar
engagements hgve been made for 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
given under the head of a Weekly Review, thus
giving the reader in brief clear manner, every
matter which transpires for the week.
From the Gardiner Home Journal.1
The Portland Daily PRESS is one of the ablest
as we'll as one of the fairest daily papers in the
state. 1t is not so far the organ of any ring or
clique but that it dares to speak its own opin-
IONS and is not so partisan as to believe that all
the acts of party politicians are both law and
gospel. 1t now reaches us on the eight o'clock
train, and we advise those who wish for a good
Maine daily to examine its merits.
From the Saco Independentl
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 its
paper, the quantity of its advertising and other
indications of prosperity. 1t has the same tel
"a, bod 4
press throughout the country, beside local de-
spatches from private correspondents in yari-
GUS parts of the state and county, and can lay
them before tsireaders in this vicinity tiye 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, poiti-
CAL literary or religious circles. Its well-writ-
ten editorials are Independent in thought and
tbs state is remarkably full and accurate and
and its correspondence-notably that af "Yar-
mouth Hon. Isaac HI. 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
rabid partisans threaten to start new Repub.
lican paper in Portland, that shall be more SUBJ
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 aid this state, can better af-
ford to do without the Boston papers than with
out the PRESS, unless they can take both.

From the Rockland Gazette.l
We shouldn't like to be obliged to 'ekeep
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 wide-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 Somerset Reporter.l
1t gives us pleasure to speak good word for
a newspaper so worthy as the Maine State
PRESS. Also the Portland Daily PRESS is
valuable and thoroughly straightforward Jour
nal. Politically it is outspoken and bold even
in denouncing the wrongs of its own party. Its
publishers and editors believe in the truth at
their profession.
[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 Geographic re-
pOrrs, of domestic and foreign news, and treat
ing with enterprise and ability matters of pub
lie interest. The weekly PRESS, issued blythe
same publishers, is also desirable newspaper.
[From the Machias Union.-Dem.l
The Portland Daily PRESS can now be had
one year free OF postage for $500, paid in adj
vance. At this price any business man, or pro-
fefsional man who wants first class Maine
daily will assuredly receive his moneys worth.
Its editorials assume an air of independence
and:fairness not seen of late in Republican pa
pers, besides manifesting ability and care. The
PRESS is admitted to be among the leading Re-
publican newspapers IN New England.
