Arizona republican., 1890-05-19
THE REPUBLICAN.

This paper is the outgrowth of visit to the Territory by newspaper man in search of health.
 It is issued as a straight forward busi- ness proposition. It's management is in the hands of persons who are newspa- per men by profession, who have served many years in the harness, who risk their money and their labor in the en- terprise. They are convinced that here there is field for paper of this char acter and have full faith that the imme- diate future of the Territory will justify the present outlay. The paper will be issued every day in the year, because it is daily paper. It will publish the full Associated Press dispatches of six thousand words day because it pre- tends to be newspaper. It is Repub- lican in politics because it's editors and proprietors are adherents of that party and believe in its policy as the best adapted to the present and prospective needs of the country. It will be Re- publican in the brOadest and widest sense. It will not be the mouthpiece of any set or clique or faction. It will not descend to abuse, vituperation or villifi- cation of other political parties or indi- vidual members thereof. It will be as decent and manly in politics as in every other relation.
 The management has few promises to make. It will give Arizona the first full news service she has ever had. It will work for the upbuilding of the whole Territory. The friends of Arizona will be our friends; her enemies will be our enemies.
 Agriculture, railroads, irrigating ca nals, mines, mills, smelters and every thing calculated to build up the Terri tory and enhance the interests of the people will receive the earnest and un- divided support of THE REPUBLICAN.
 No man need have any fear of taking this paper into his home or permitting his children to read it, as the utmost oversight will be exerted to prevent ob- jectionable matter from finding its way into it's columns.
 In short, THE REPUBLICAN is willing to stand on its merits, and asks to be patronized only on the record it may make.
 To the charge that we are here in un- just competition with other papers and to starve them out, we say: In our par ticular line there is no competition in the Territory. No other paper pub hshes so full a telegraphic service. The Republican paper already here is an afternoon publication, occupy ing distinctively field of it's own. If it should change into morning paper, someone else would occupy the evening field in a month. The remaining paper is Democratic and enjoys to the fullest measure the party's support, including the official "pap." Our subscription price is the same as that of the existing papers and our advertising rates are more than double what they now charge. There is no "mean, unmanly competition" in this. AS we start, so will we continue, ever maintaining honest rates, hiring honest Union labor, hoping to see our competitors prosper and wax fat and to live in per ennial peace. We come to build up, not to pull down.
 TIE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN will be as broad as its name implies. It will at- tempt to cover the entire Territory ,serv- ing the paper in every section on the day of publication and on the trains. It's news feature will secure it an ex- tensive circulation and thus enable it to do good work for Phoenix and the whole Territory. THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will be issued every Thursday, begin. ming May 20.
