place.
The TRIBUNE was first established
as a non-political paper, and this po-
sition it maintained until the establish
ment of the Free Press justified its pub
Usher IN making it a party organ, and
the side it espOused has been cllampioGed
with the same earnestness and rigol
which has characterized it in everything ii
has undertaken. La doing this il may have
injured the feelings of some in the op-
poslte political party, but in no case has
there been any personal luminosity enter.

Being now the only paper in the place
it will be our aim to SO conduct it, thai
all, regardless OF political party, will
take pride in its success, and pleasure
in considering it ''our paper The po
litical views of the publisher are vel
known here and throughout the state
lut they will not, under tile present cir.
cumstances, be considered part of the
paper. The distinctive feature Of the
TRIBUNE will be It's devotion to loca
affairs, but it will at the same time pre-
sent to its readers a full resume of poIit-
zeal AMI national events, as will give them
comprehensive knowledge OF public
affiirs. In short, 40 effort will be spared
to make the TRIBUNE welcome visitor
in every home in the county. and nothing
that newspaper Gin TO will be left u,i-
done to advance the interests of Cheboy-
gan. The better the support is given the
better the paper can be made, and the
more good it can accomplish. We trust
that our citizens will remember this,
and send in their sabscrir lions. The
subscribers to the Free Press will re-
ceiye a copy of this issue. We hope to
enroll every one of them upon the TRI-
BUNE list. All who have paid in adj
vance for that paper can have their un-
expired time filed with the TRIBUNE by
arranging with the former publishers of
the Free Press. e
The consolidation of the two offices
gives the TRIBUNE the most complete
printing office in the state north of Sagi-
nav, fact which those; desiringl work
OF any description will DO we'll 10 bear
in mind. Our prices will always be
reasonable. Our circulation will also
be largely increased, which will greatly
benefiE advertisers, fact which we trust
they will appreciate and send in their
orders accordingly.
