Tine New York HsrnH and the Sun


have more readers than all the other
New York morning journals of all par
ties 9nd classes combined, and the Euen-
ing Post has more commercial and busl-
ness readers than any journal OF its type
in the Union. The Erening Pos! article
is an honest, inCisiva and unanswerable
analysis OF Senator Conkling's late
speech, exposing its fearful peril to the
Republican party and to commerce, in
dustry and trade; and it states the now
clearly visible truth when it odds that
the speech must quicken the dep art
ure" of the best elements Of tn" Repub.
lican party from its organization. The
Ersning Post is not only one of the ablest
and most respected Republican journals
OF the nation, but it is also one Oi the
most faithful and intelligent oracles Of
business.
The New York Herald is the most
widely circulated journal OF the continent
and the most thoroughly independent
newspaper. 1t is not a leader OF public
opinion in the sense that the EreHiHg
Post and the Sun often are, but it always
faithfully reflects the intelligent judg.
ment OF the people and scrupulOusly
maintains the great interests OF trade
and industry, regardless OF all party i'm.
portunities or necessities. II follows
the Ecsning Post in II pointed protest
against the fatal madness OF the Repub'
lican leaders in forcing renewal OF sec
tiOnal strife in the present contest, and
against the weakness OF General Garfield
tati
utterances to desperate partisans who
would sacrifice the tranquility and pros
perity OF the country 10 secure power
and plumber.
The New York Sun is the second most
widely-read daily newspaper IN the
Union, and it is one OF the most fearless
~ independent. 1t points to the defeat
in Maine as defeat of sectional strife,
and az an imperious demand for peace
and prosperity, and it joins the Eryning
Post and the Herald in warning party
leaders that the issue OF wanton hate
must be defeated everywhere.
These emphatic utterances are not
from party organs, but from three great
oracles OF enlightened public opinion
which discuss all party errors alike,
whether of Republican or Democratic
origin. rney speak not only for the in
telligence and patriotism OF the country,
hut they speak for commerce, trade, IN
dustrv and for business gener-
ally, and they speak TO those who
will heed their honest admonitions.
When Carl Schurz opened the Repub-
lican campaign in Indiana more than
two months ago, he defined the issues
of the contest Just as the independent
Journals OF the country would gladly
define them now; and had his dispas-
sionate and statesmanlike policy been
accepted by the Republican party II
would not now mourn the loss OF Maine
and tremble for Ohio, Pennsylvania
Illinois, California and New HamP-
shire. But weak, revolutionary or cor
rupt managers have dictated a re.
