THE JOURNAL DAILY AND WEEKLY
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.
THE DAILY JOURNAL.

For many years the INDIANAPOLIS DAILY JoURNAE
has stood at the head of the newspapers Of Indiana
without dispute, and it ranks with the best
papers of the country in point of completeness high
character, and promptness and accuracy in dealing
with the news Of the world.
Not only have its news gathering facilities been en-
larged, and extended in all directions but it has
reached out into the domain of literature, and fairly
completes with the magazines in the quantity and
quality of its original articles and special features
THE>JoURNAL among the very first papers of
the country to distinctive literary character
for its Saturday edition, and then for The SUNDAY
JOURNAL. which has taken that place in tho
weeks issues, with steadily increasing value and con-
stantly enlarging popularity. THE JOURNAL has in
troduced to the public many writer's whose poems and
sketches have fixed and standard literary char
acter and authority. While drawing upon the best
authors of the world for original matter for it's
columns, THE JOURNAL has been and will continue
to be specially the medium through which local
writers Of the best class may find an apprecative
audience.
The NEWS features of THE JOURNAL wilf Be moro
comprehensive than during the coming year.
Especially will this be true of the field imme
diately tributary to indianapolis. We have special
correspondents in all the 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 SEES.
sion of the national Congress will be of UNI
usual interest. 1t is the first Congress that has
sembed since the advent of the Democratic admins
traton, and its proceedings viii be of than ordi
nary Importance to the country. THE JOURNALS
special and regular dispatches and correspondence
from Washington will be fuller and better than ever
No ~, +lao
comprehensive accurate reports from Washington
than the Journal. The FINANCIAL and CONNER
CIAL columns of The JOURNAL viii be kept full and
accurate The department of railway news will be
maintained heretofore. The local department will
continue to be served by the most competent and
welltrained reporters, and special efforts will be made
to increase and enlarge this feature of THE JOURNAL
during the year
The political character Of THE JOURNAL is fixed
and well known 1t is Republican newspaper, de-
voted with its beste ~ and ability the advocacy
OF the principles of Republican party, in the adj
ministration of wi e party has achieved such
glory during its pi story THE JOURNAL believer
there is still pressing demand for real honest. up.
right Repubicanism, and to that so far as it
may be able, is its desire and purpose The Jour-
NAILS columns will be edited with earnestness and sin
cery, but with due and proper regard candid diff
ferences of opinion and with full appreciation of the
privileges of Judgment and the rights private
character In its political conduct THE JOURNAL will
never be the organ Of any man the sabserviens
tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue
to assert independence of dctation in the assumed
of party, subordinating at all TINES. what may
seem to be temporary partisan advantage to the good
of the whole community, and thereby tho real perma
nent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest
r
ton, but political charlatanism will be rebuked
The year 1886 will witness campaign in the State
of Indiana for the election Of State officers and of
Legislature that must choose United States senator
The Importance of this cannot be overstated
The JOURNAL expects to contribute its full strength
to this struggle and we believe better agency for
Republican success can be found than to increase tina
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
hicts to this suggestion
