1.-THE Ideal New-England Newspape
Springfield Republican
FOR 1887.

The Republican aims to be a newspaper in the
broadcast and highest sense. 1t prints all the le
gtimate news of the day without fear or favor,
embarrassed by personal or partisan obligations,
and in compact well arranged form. Its facilities
for gathering and publishing the news are unsur-
passed outside of the largest cities, and con-
stantly improving.
The Republican is dstnctively New England
newspaper, although its reputation is national
Its local field embraces not only Springfield but all
of Western Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut
and Southern Vermont, and the news of this
ton it presents with great care and fulness In no
other journal the jewellers in this region find
so complete daily record of home affairs.
In its political attitude the Republican main
tains thorough independence, giving fair hear
ing to all reasonable men and parties in its col
umns, but asserting its own convictions on public
issues with vigOr and clearness. 1t is opposed to
| unjust monopoly in every form, to oppressive and
unnecessary taxation, to any misuse of public
trusts 1t favors tariff reform in the interest es-
pecially Of the poor man, civil service reform in
the broadcast measure suspension of silver coinage
money standard and the promotion of American
interests by natural and sound methods.
| The Republican is an earnest advocate of tenn
perance, of social simplicity and purity, and of all
the good causes that help to make life better.
1t is not merely journal of news, but under
takes to instruct and entertain its readers by the
publication of rich variety of literary and mis-
cellaneOus matter, embracing home and foreign
correspondence, stories, poetry, book reviews and
notices. religious selections and discussions, spec
ial articles and compilations for the farmer and the
