WHAT JOURNALISTS THINK OF THE PRESS
From the Brunswick Telepranb.1

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 81 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 its
paper, the quantity of its advertising and other
indications of prosperity. 1t has the same tel
egraphc news as is furnished to the associated
press throughout the country, beside local de-
spAtches from private correspondents IN varl-
Gus parts of the state and county, and can lay
them before itsreaders in this vicinity iUe hours
earlier than the Boston dailies; so that man
can read his PRESS at or before breakfast and
then go about bis ordinary avecations, con-
scous that he is fully informed OF the chief
topics of discussion in social, scientific, polti-
cal, literary or religious circles. Its well-wrt-
ten editorials are Independent in thought and
style; its collection of news items throughout
this state is remarkably full and accurate. and
and its rrespondence-notably that at "Yar-
mouth" Hon. Isaac Fl. 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 partsans threaten to start new Repub.
lican paper in Portland, that shall be more SUBJ
seryient to dictation; but an "organ" that
prinds out that tune will soon play out" Our
citizens, especially those having business rela-
tiops 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.

The Portland Daily PRESS can now be had
e,oa rs 90 for 81 (Nl maid adj
vance. At this price any business man, or pro-
fefsioual man who wants first class Maine
daily will assuredIy receive his moneys worth.
Its editorials assume an air OF independence
andsfairness not seen of late in Republican pa
pers, besides manifesting ability and care. Inc
PRESS is admitted to be among the leading Re-
publican newspapers IN New England
From the Piscataquis Observer)
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
telegTaphic news is carefully rewritten and CIV
en- under the head of Weekly Review. In
addition to this there is an agricultural depart
meut ably conducted. On the whole the two
papers occupy the front rank among Maine
newspapers.
From the Gardiner Home Journal
The Portland Daily PRESS is one of the ablest
as we'll as one of the fairest daily papers ID the
state 1t is not 80 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 good
Maine daily to examine its merits.
[From the Biddeford Journal
The Portland Press is one of our most racy
exchanges, and most welcome Wis tor. 1t is an
industrious news gatherer, spicy and at all
times readable. May its merits which are large
draw to it an abundant success.
