ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.
THE DAILY TIMES.

The Times, which has for SO many years
stood In the front rank Of American journals,
has more than fulfilled the promises made in
its last annual announcement. 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 mark OF
excellence has been set forward year by year,
SO the Times of 1856 may be expected to sur
pass its previous high position. No portion Of
the Overwhelming field of news viii be me-
elected. An adequate and trained corps OF
correspondents at Washing on 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 as at other important news eenters in all
parts of the country. the Times will be repre-
sented by capable and Wig liant correspondents.
1t will be the aim to make the local Depart
menr of the Times complete and entertain
ing chronicle of the events of the day IN Chi
cago, and persons desiring full and impartial
reports Of the proceedings of national conven-
hons, such as, from the geographical situation
of the city, frequently meet her, may be as
sured that their desires will be gratifed in the
Times.
The financial and comm columns of the
Times will be keptup to the high standard that
bankers and merchants throughout the w est
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 mas charac-
terized the editorial utterances of the Times
Tor 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 OF
reform will meet with hearty commentator,
but political eharlatanlsm will be rebnked.
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

ton. This edition Of the Times, as well as the
