| From the Saco INDEPENDENT
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 vari-
| GUS parts of the state and county, and can lay
them before its,readers in this vicinity fue hours
| earlier than the Boston dailies; SO that man
| can read his PRESS at or before breakfast and
| then 90 about his ordinary avscations, con-
scious that he is fully informed ot&she CHIEF
topics of discussion in social scientific, pOiti-
cal, literary or religious circles. Its well-writ.
| ten editorials are independent in thought and
| style; its collection of news items throughout
tbs state is remarkably full and accurate, and
and it's rrespondence-notably that at "Yar-
| mouth Hon. Isaac HI. Bailey, who writes

and other topics full and entertaining AS
| proof of its independence, we hear that some
| rabid partisans threaten to start a new Repub

4ctizens, especially those having business rela'

ford to do without the Boston papers than with.
out tho PRESS unless they can take both.

From the Gardiner Home Journal
The Portland Daily PRESS is one of the ables
as well as one of the fairest daily papers in the
state. 1t is not SO far the organ of any ring OF
clique but that it dares to speak its own Opn
IONS and is not so partisan as to believe that al
the acts of party politicians are both law ant
gospel. 1t now reaches us on the eight o o'clock
train, and we advise those who wish for good
Maine daily to examine its merits.

The Portland PRESS is one of our most racy
exchanges, and most welcome visitor. 1t is al
Industrious news gatherer, spicy and at al
times readable. May its merits which are largt
| draw to it an abundant success.
