Especially will this be true of the field more imue-

correspondents in all the more important towns and
cities of Indiana, eastern Ohio and central and
southern Illinois, and nothing of general interest
occurring within these limits will be omitted from
the columns of THE JOURNAL. The approaching ses-

glory during it's past history. THE JOURNAL believes
there is still pressing demand for real honest up
right Republcansm, and to answer that far As it
may be able, is its desire and purpose. THE jour
NAILS columns will be edited with earnestness and sa
certify but with due and proper regard to candid &f
ferences of opinion and with full appreciation of the
privileges of personal the rights of private
character. In it's political conduct THE JOURNAL will
never be the organ of any the subservisnt
tool of any faction In local affairs it will continue
to assert independence of dictation in the assumed
of party, subordinating at all times what may
to be temporary partisan advantage to the good
of the whole community and thereby the real perma-
nent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest
ton, but political charlatansm will be rebuked.

THE JOURNAL expects to contribute its full strength
to this struggle and we believe better agency far

circulation of the Journal both it's daily and weekly
issues, among the people. We call the attention OF
political committees in the various counties and dis
tricts to this suggestion.
