The Cincinnati COMMERCIAL is the

circulation In Cincinnati and yIcinitv
and Is sold through hundreds ~ aoan'
ctes In Ohio, Indiana, Kentnckv Ten
nessee. West Virginia, and Sonthern n
linois, and on ali the railroads in thasa
States, and there is a special call for II
along the great rivers from Pittsbnr0 to

Cincinnati is the most central and the
most distinctly representative of the
large cities of the Nation, and on all
sides Is supported by thrifty and pros
porous communities, in which. for hum
dreds OF miles in every direction from
the place of publication, the CONNER
CiAL Is the favorite newspaper.
In political sense, the COMMERcI.1
Is thoroughly independent. 1t recog-
nizes no obligations to party Organiza-
tions. Its sincerity in this position is
popularity understood, and so largely
appreciated that its subscribers and
habitual purchasers in either political
party outnumber those of the party or
gans, and its aggregate circulation is
greater than that of its competitors COM
bined.
In politics the COMMERCIAL oeeupies
the ''field of Independent journalism. /"
meaning thereby the territory outside
the party fences-the woods pasture and
unfenced prairies, so to speak. As we
understand 1t, we are in possession of
all that open country that we can Occu-
| py-and we intend to abide there, or
at least, to look to it rs our base of ope-
rations. If we enter a party enclosure
it will be with the fence down behind
us. We have not the slightest DISPOSE
tion to try, as 4 steady thing, the dry
fodder and dusty husks and stale straw
OF the party stables, wherein "the OK
knoweth his owner and the ass his mas
ter's crib" We would prefer, in case
of necessity, to browse in the wilder
ness. The COMMERCIAL has no fayOrS to
ask of politicians and no dread of them.
The news of the day is our specially.
We spare no effort nor expense. at home
or abroad, to obtain by telegraph, by
mail and by express, the latest intelli.
gence, and to present Ii in the most at
tractiye and authentic form. We pro-
pose to print all the news without ref
erence to its party bearings, aud our ev-
ery-day work and mission are to reduce
the percentage of stealing in the trans
action of the public business; and as Of
ten rs we can be sure which is the
thieves side, we will be on the other
side. We do not mean by stealing only
or chiefly pocket-picking and shOp-lift-
ing, the sly pilfering of sneaks, and the
bold appropriations by burglars, but all
the processes by which persons who do
not earn money come into the possess
sion of it, especially when they do so
through DETERMINATIONS against the uIi-
wary, in the laws; and swindles, that
are disguised by those who get ttheir liy-
ing out of politics, as public services.
Our editorial remarks upon events,
and discussions of the questions of-tiIe
day, are according to our best Judgment,
having always in view the efficacy of
the truth, in the interests of the people.
We assume as thoroughly understood
fact that our relations with political
parties are such that we shall not be
suspected of tampering with the news
in the interest of either. We mean TO
tell the plain truth, no matter whom it
hits or whom it helps or hurts. We ex-
pect to be as thorough and impartial in
presenting FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE,
which Is of constantly increasing inter-
est and Importance to the general pub
lie, as in dealing with political informa-
ton. We do not seek official favOrs or
partisan patronage, but rely wholly
upon the business that grows ont of
the respect and good will of the public
ut large
The Cincinnati COMMERCIAL takes Il
hearty interest in the politics of Europe,
which telegraphic communication has
brought into very intimate relations
with us, and earnestly vindicating and
the development of natiOnal-
ity in Germany and Italy, it cordially
with the Republican cause
In all Nations.
The daily newspaper at this time be-
comes almost Il necessity of life, and it
S not hazardous to claim for tile Cincin-
lati COMMERCIAL that it is ut once the
most complete and trustworthy Journal
ssned in the Ohio Valley-the center of
he population and the seat of the polit-
cal power of the Nation.
The year lS76-the year of the Gem
ennial Anniversary of the Republic
5 doubtless destined to be one of the
most notable in American history. Good
itizens must join hands to make it hap
,ily memorable. Ii is the year of
American Exposition in
IOnOr of the Centennial, to which the
of the Nations of the
arth are invited. 1t is also the year of
Presidential election, of which there
S already impressive evidence that it
will be singularly mOmentOus.
