during this time. It's columns viii be devoted to
faithful and intelligent discussion of al these quea
tons in which the people have so deep and abiding
concern. The political character of THE JoURNALN
fixed and well known 1t is Republican newspaper
devoted with its best energy and ability to the adyo
cacy of the principles of the Republican party. Tai

subservent tool of any faction Inloca affairs it win
continue to assert independence of dictation in the
srmed of party subordinating at all times wha
may to be temporary partisan advantages TO the
good of the whole community, and thereby the real
permanent benefit of the Republican organization

commentator. but political charlatanism will be
buleed. The JOURNAL offers its past record in sup.
port of it's claims for the continued confidence of the

of THE JOURNAL, both its daily and weekly issues
among the people. We call the attention of political
committees in the various counties and districts "a
this suggestion.
