WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
L with which the Times has met, since
its establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people Of the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts of a
journal. Which, in addition to its en-
terprise as newspaper, has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles of its political
faith.
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being full and faithful
medium of general news, is. also firm
and consistent advocate Of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, and the idea sometimes sought
to be inca!culatad by those who have
an interest of their own in doing so,
that the people must go outside their
party organs to "find the news" is alb
surd aud Irrational. There is no sort
of incomratibility whatever between
the political and non-political journal
as to the matter of news; many Of the
papers now published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
the amount and variety of their intel
ligence, being also known for the aBil
i,y and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty Of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
sucI, rs are Of their own way of think
i,ag and not to sqnauder their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
