Announcement FOR 1886.
THE DAILY TIMES.

E The Times, which has for SO many years
stood in the front rank Of American Journals,
has more than fulfilled the promises made II
its last annual announcements. Not only have
Its news-gathering facilities been extended and
enlarged 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 of strictly
literary character. As in the past the marx q
excellence has been set forward year BY year,
SO the Times of 1886 may be expected to sur
pass its previous high position. No portion Of
the overwhelming field of news will be ne
elected. An adequate and trained corps OF
correspondents at Washington viii furnish full
reports of the important debates in Congress-
besides covering all the news and political and
social gossip Of the capital At New York, as
well az at other important news eenters in al
parts of the country, the Times will be repre-
scented by capable and yigtlant correspondents.
1t will be the aim to make the local depart
ment of the Times complete and entertain
ing chronicle Of the events Of the day IN Chi
cago, and persons desiring fun and impartial
reports Of the proceedings of national conven-
Hons, such as, from the geographical situation
Of the city, frequently meet her, may be az

The financial and commercial columns Of the
Times will be kept up to the high standard that
bankers and merchants throughout the West
have conceded to them. No expense will be
spared in the collection Of unbiased reports for
this important department Of the paper.
The political independence that has charac-
terixed the editorial utterances Of the Times
for the past twenty years will be In no wise
abated. In national as in state and municipal
affairs, official acts will be subjected to candid
and impartial criticism. Honest measures o.
reform will meet with hearty commentator,
but political charlatamsm will be rebuked.
In order to meet the demands of Its country
patrons, arrangements have been made where
BY the Sunday edition of the Times is circulated
by means Of special and fast railway trains to
cities within q radius 81 two hundresa ssaiies
