Decent political events strongly indicate
IL speedy return Of the Democratic party to
supreme power in the nation. The House OF
Representatives is now Democratic by large
majority; the government of more than one
half of the States is administered by Demo
craus; the party enters upon the Presidential
contest with the brightest hopes aud under
the most substantial encouragement.
The wonderful revelations Of rascality and
corruption on the part Of Republican aeaders.
which have burdened the press and Mortified
the people during the past three years, make
it clearly the duty Of every man to take an &C
tive part in the great contest Of the present
year. More than at any previous time in the
history of the country, trustworthy daily
newspaper is now necessary to every citizen. il,
order that he may intelligently discharge his
political duties. The CHICAGO MORNING
COURIER is consistent Democratic newspa-
per. 1t will be devoted to the work Of aiding
in rescuing the nation from the party that has
debauched it's service, squandered its treasure
and enslaved it's liberties. It Will advocate a
speedy return to specie payments, but believes
that this result should be brought about BY
economical management, and not by abitrary
enactment. 1t believes in greenbccks at par
and the same currency for the rich and the
poor 1t will advocate Home Rule, Free Trade,
and Public Economy, the old cardinal primer
pies OF the Democratic party.
The Courier has established widespread
reputation as a first class newspaper. The ain.
OF its management is to make it all that the
public in these hurrying days can desire name.

his ''tilne and talent" upon the Eclipse
Stables located farther up on Texas

He proposes to make these stables a
regular "Horse Palace" at the mere
sight Of which animals Of the equine
persuasion will neigh their apprecia-
ton and delight. Fine saddle and
harness horses, fine buggies and car
riages and hearses, will be his pro-
gramme, and he is determined, by
strict attention to man and beast and
business generally, to win for his board
ing house and stables yet higher
niche in the temple of fame.
AKAHN Il CO.-This firm, which
keeps the only exclusive house-furnish-
ing establishment in the place, has on
sale one Of the very finest and largest
stocks of crockery, glassware, cutlery,
