THE newspaper entitled to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
The CHICAGO DAILY News (Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth Of
the WeW York World entities it to first place.
The Graphic to-day devotes page to sketches of
scenes in and about its establishment The his
tory of this paper is probably without parallel
in the annals Of American journalism. 1t was
founded December 10th, 1875, and was the first
low-priced daily successfully established in the
West AT the end of its first year it had achieved
a circulation of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. II now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. It's statement Of circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average of 1878
copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent THE sworn state
mcnt for 1887 shows daily average of I6s, 376)
In politics THE DAILY News is always indie
pendent, never neutral. While its editorial ex-
preston is sometimes vigorous to the degree of
severity there is always in its uterances Of opinion
SO manifest purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests that it rarely loses the con-
hdence of the reader however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance Of its own view con-
corning the matter in hand.
AS newspaper proper, The DAILY News
has earned reputation for enterprising news
gathering second to none in the United States
1t is the only cheap paper in the West that is a
member of the Associated Press. 1t gives its
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. Now it does it for one cent a day.
Aside from its own deserving merits as a
complete and cheap newspaper, it is doubtless

The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1888-08-24

Hon. TOMMY WILSON has written long
letter ostensibly to accept the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress in the First
district, but really TO make a rrofuse APP
ology for and explanation of his course
in Congress. A considerable portion of
the epistle is devoted to a labored de-
Tense of his vote against the direct tax
refunding bill, which proposed to pay
back to the loyal states the taxes which
they paid to the general government in
IFS time of need. Mr.. Wilson's apology
comes rather late in the day and lie 80
beclouded by verbiage and abuse of ex-
Congressman Strait, whom he has, how
ever, not manliness to name directly,
that it comes far from being a satisfac-
tory explanation of the course of the
Winona member in trucking to the de-
mands of the the southern brigadiers.
The most plausible defense would not
remove the impression from the minds
of the people of Minnesota that Mr..
Wilson's course was more guided by
fear of offending the ex-rebels in Cong
ress than for any high minded solicitude
that Minnesota was not getting all she is
fairly entitled to in the bill. If the bill
had provided for the refunding of the
cotton tax which was collected of the
disloyal states. as the ex-rebels wanted,
1t is altogether unlikely that Mr.. Wilson
would have found all the objections to
the bill that he now matches up.
