THEJOURNAL-1885

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is recog-
nized everywhere as the leading newspaper OF
Indiana. No proper expense will be spared in
the future to maintain this undisputed excel
lence and to increase the value and interest Of
the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so we'll
for the collection of the news Of the day are
more complete than ever, and we are adding
some special features for 1885 which must en-
hanee the popularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana
that prints regularly the full reports of the
Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever covering the
whole world These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of tho
State and of the country at large. We have a
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular atten-
ten to that which most nearly concerns THE
JOURNALS constituency. The national admin
istration will soon pass into the control of the
Democratic party, and the fullest and most re-
liable intelligence from Washington will be
presented in our news columns, free from party
bias, impartially, and without restraint.
The new State administration takes charge Of
affairs with the beginning of the new year. The
Democratic Legislature will be in session. The
Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily
presentation of such report of it's doings that
any citizen of the State may know all that is go
ing on affecting the public interests, accompa-
MED with such comment as raay be needed to ex-
plain the possible political, social and economie
effects of the proposed legislation.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Republican
paper, believing in the principles and general
policy of the Republican party but it recognizes
that the day of blind party organising has passed.
and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticisc
and condemn, but in a spirit and with prr-
pose for good, having a proper regard
for personal rights and regulations
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be
assured of seeing in the columns of TIE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in it's editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his re-
spect if they do not meet his approval 1t may
also be said that THE JOURNAL is published
as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t recognizes
that the women and the children are to DE in
structed and entertained. They will always find
in its columns matter specially prepared for
them, while the paper will be so conducted as to
prove a welcome visitor in the household. The
news will be presented in such shape as TO min
imize the evil and its editorial and local columns
will be kept free from moral faint
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is i'd
mittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate
printed by any newspaper in the country.
