THE DAILY JOURNAL.

There never was a season of more special and gene
raj interest than the present with the promise of in
creasng Importance until the country is face to face
with the great presidential struggle of 1885, In In
diana this is particularly true; for Indiana is already
in the preliminary work of the campaign of 1885, the
result of which is to decide the choice of member
Of the United States Senate and to profound
influence upon the character and outcome of the quad
rennial struggle. Not only in this view is the ap-
preaching campaign in this State of unusual interest
but it is of much importance locally to the people of In
diana The citizens of this State suffering from tne
maladminstration of the Democratic party and from
the outrageous partisanshp of the last two General
Assemblies. The State institutions have been prosti
tuted to the basest party ends, taxes have been in
creased debt has been piing up and there is democrat
ization everywhere from the lowest to the highest
department of civil government These questions OF
local administration must be met ami generally dis
cussed by all the people, in view of the election to be
held next November, at which verdict upon them is
to be rendered by the court Of last resort No Repub
ican in Indiana can well afford to be without
THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
during this time. It's columns win be devoted to
faithful and intelligent discussion of all these ques
tons in which the people have deep and abiding
concern. The political character of The JOURNAL is
fixed and well known 1t is Republican newspaper,
devoted with It's best energy and ability to the advo
cacy of the principles of the Republican party. THE
JOURNAL believes there is still pressing demand for
real honest, upright Republicanism, and to answer
that, so far as it may be able. is its
desire and purpose. THE JOURNALS columns
win be edited with earnestness and SINGER
ity. but with due and proper regard to candid
differences of opinion, and with full appreciation of
the privileges of personal Judgment and the rights OF
private character. In its political conduct THE
JOURNAL will never be the organ of any man nor the
subservent tool of any faction. In local affairs it win
continue to assert independence of dictaton n the
surned name of party subordinating at all times what
may to be temporary partisan advantages to the
good of the whole community, and thereby the real
permanent benefit of the Republican organization.
Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty
eemmendaton. but political charlatansm win be
buked. THE JOURNAL offers its past record in sup
port of its claims for the continued confidence of the
public. In view of the pending political struggle in
the State believe better agency for Republican
be found than to increase the circulation
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 to
this suggestion
