The Springfield UnioI, which has long had the lar
gest circulation Of any paper IN Western Massachu
sets was never 50 popular and 20 heartily sustained
now. Its subscription list IL growing az never be
fore in spite OF the hard times aud the Increasing
favor with which it is received stimulates its conduc
tors 10 iresh aud continued tforts to reazs thei
own ideal and 10 satisfy the just demands Of then
constituents.
As newspaper, The Union prints the news. Local
and general, from twelve TO fifteen hours In advance
of any near contemporary. Itgives the same evening
full accounts OF the principal events Of the day all
over TIE world, while they aud the interest in them
are fresh 1t furnishes the intelligence as it comes
from various sources, without garblng it to suit pre-.
conceived theoriesi aud accompanies it with such
comments as may help the busy reader to its riuht
understanding aud just estimate u g Importance
As political journal The Union is IA favor Of the
principles and policy OF the Republican party. II is
not ashamed to be called Republican paper and
doe not hesitate 10 advocate every proper occasion
and in every legitimate way the support Of that party
by the people, honestly believing that its continued
ascendeney IN national and state politics would be a
blessing to the country. 1t does not wonder that
newspapers urging the return Of he Democratic party
to power prefer to do sneakingly with an attempt
to hide under the CLOAK Of profcssed 'ndependenos
But the Republican party proud to say is still
worthy Of being sustained openly and frankly. while
II remains worthy. The Union will not fear the re-
proach Of beng Republican paper.
But The Union does not forget that politics cannot
and ought not to engruEs the attention Of its readers
to the exclusion Of other things. 1t aims quite a.
