the newspaper. With the session of Congress
the importance Of an enterprising and reliable

leading cities in the country, while its corps
of correspondents cover all events OF import
ance occurring in any of the towns and cities

Ohio which it naturally serves.
It will be the particular care Of THEJ0URNAL,
during the year 1884, that its readers shall be
kept fully informed of matters connected with
the great presidential struggle upon which the
country is about to enter, and with the no less
important canvass for the new Congress to be
chosen next November, as well as of all other
important political movements.
The financial and commercial department. of
THE JOURNAL includes full and accurate reports
of all movements affecting the interests of
capitalists and business men that occur in Eu-
rope or America. It's daily record of the Chi
cago, New York and other markets will be
found a trustworthy record and guide by all
interested in such matters
In local matters THE JOURNAL prints all that
is worth printing, and in which the public is
interested. It pays particular attention to
