THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
ESTABLISHED 1928.
FOR 1888.

The indianapolis Journal will enter upon
its sixty first year with the support and con-
tidenee of a larger and constantly growing
constituency, and with an influence, we feel
! warranted in saying, never exceeded in its
long and prosperous history. 1t will bring
to the duties of the ensuing year better
equipment, more thorough and systematic
organization, and sharpened desire to meet
the steadily pressing demand for
clean, heightened and complete
newspaper. Its facilities for the gathering
OF news and for its faithful and satisfactory
presentation were never so good as now. and
it will continue to be the purpose to accom-
pany the news of the day with such editorial
treatment and comment as to still further
ally the paper with the interests and COLI
science of all the people.
The year 1888 will be one of special i'll
terest. Congress will be in session.
the last session of the Forty-seventh
Congressman, in view of the re-
cent elections throughout the country
its proceedings will be watched with the
greatest anxiety. The Journal will be repre-
sented at Washington, as heretofore, by a
special Geographic correspondent of expert
ence and ability, and his dispatches, together
with the Associated Press, will give the most
complete report of congressional proceedings
printed by any Indiana paper. The State
Legislature will also be in session this win
ter, and its proceedings will be of the highest
Importance to the people of Indiana. The
Journal will print the best reports of
the General Assembly, and, from day
to day, will give a clear compendium
Of all important matters pending before both
houses.
In general news, and especially in the news
OF the State of Indiana, and of the territory
in Ohio and Illinois naturally and COM
mercially tributary to Indianapolis, the
Journal will be found to be largely in adj
vance of all contemporaries. We have cor
respondents in the larger cities and towns,
while the county papers are carefully
CLEANED. In all regards the Journal is, by
odds, the best reflex of the interests of the
entire State and of the territory it seeks to
serve. Its present superiority in this respect
will be fully maintained, and enhanced as
opportunity may offer.
The Indianapolis Journal is the only Re
publican morning newspaper printed in this
city which publishes the Associated Press
reports Since the recent consolidation of
the New York and Western Press Asssocia-
tons, combining all the leading newspapers
of the entire country, both the quantity ard
quality of the news gathered from all parts
of the world will be greatly increased and
bettered.
Its commercial reports, court record, Su-
preme Court decisions railway news, and
editorial and miscellaneous departments are
conceded to be as good as the best and their
present excellence will be fully sustained in
the future. The Journal will continue to
maintain its assured position as the
LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA,
and asks support on account of its general
merits no less than upon its superiority
special representative of the best thought,
and culture and character Of the State.
