in the result the voice Of the people
for reform and integrity in govern

among newspapers. During the cam
paign which has inst closed The TRI-
BUNE has fully maintained its right to
the title of the ''Leading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned aud retains for the following,
among other reasons:
1t publishes all the news, earlier,
more fully, and more intelligently than
any other paper.
1t insists op peace throughout the
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their just and
legal rights.

1t gives every week ten or more
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in the aggregate than the

To-day The New-York Tribune is
undoubtedly the first of American
newspapers; whatever may he said of
its rivals, it has clearly won prece-
dence of all, and very creditably does
it represent the journalism of the coun-
try. While dealing with all the topics
coming within the range of a newspa-
per, The Tribune makes speciality
of the great subject of agriculture. 1t
becomes therefore matter of vital i'm
pOrtance to the country that the direc-
ton OF the ideas of this vast section
should he in able and conscientious
hands, and matter for congratulation
that the farmers newspaper par excel
lence has the high standing of The
Tribune.-[The IN. W South.
The New York Tribune is doing a
great work in popularizing Science, by
the publication of cheap extras to that
great daily.-lOur Monthly Clinton.
