| The Springfield Union which has long had the
largest circulation of any paper in Western Mas
sustained now. Its subscription list is growing
as before, in spite of the hard times and the
increasing favor with which it is received stimu-
lates its conductors to fresh and continued efforts
to realize their ideal and to satisfy the lust de-
mands of their constituents.
AS newspaper, the Union prints the news,
local and general from ~ to Is hours in advance of
any near contemporary. 1t gives the same evening
full accounts of the principal events of the day all

them fresh. 1t furnishes the intelligence as it
comes from various sources, without garbling it to
suit preeoncelved theories and accompanies 1T
to its right understanding and a just estimate of
| its Importance.
| As political journal the Union is in favor of
the principles and policy of the Republican party
1t is not ashamed to be called Republican paper,
and does not hesitate TO advocate on every proper
occasion and in every legitimate way the support
of that party by the people, honestly believing that
its continued ascendency in national and state pol
itics would be blessing to the country. 1t does
not wonder that newspapers urging the return of
the Democratic party to power prefer to do it
sneakngly with an attempt to hide under the cloak
Of protested Independence" But the Republican
party are proud to say is still worthy of being
sustained openly and frankly; while it remains wor.

a Republican paper.
But the Union does not forget that politics can

readers to the exclusion of other things. 1t aims

due attention. Indeed, it Intentionally neglects
nothing that can make life richer, better, longer.

voluntary exiles from it to the West and South,
and to foreign countries. To make a paper still
more worthy of such constituency will be the
constant aim and endeavor of the conductors of
this journal.
