Subscribers are 4 ,ing my paper
at 50 year now b as readily a,
the~,evirit 1Ellar before
and by the assista e 6fmy old
lists, | will say, foTthe sake of ad.
vcrtisers especially that so far as
can be Informed, of 1he three prin-
cipal advertising @sk.s here, The
Transcript, THE J 9ss, and The
Leadr, my circulation will begin
about twice as largo as the weekly
circulation of one, about the same
as that of another Y, and proba-
bly, less than that MY1he Leader,
which, though handicapped by its
advocacy of Republicanism in a
Democratic county, is forging
away ahead of the other two, be.
cause it is against the liquor. stink
ing politics of this city and region,
and because the Democrats who
give tone to paper are tired of
the particular kind of Democracy
that is running the shebang here.
| say this, never having voted
the Republican ticket in my life,
and never expecting to do so.
The people who r;ke The Blade
are socially, intellectually, morally
and financially, immensely above
the patrons of any paper in the
State, taken as a whole.
The Blade now occupies perhaps
the handsomest office and printing
outfit in the city of Lexington, at
No. 53 East Short~Street, and its
latch string hangs out to any man
or woman, who, by'any means, is
trying to advance the morals of
our country.
The gentlemen and ladies who
incorporate The Blaze and who are
its stockholders, give it their sup
port with the one common pur-
pose of advancing the morals of
the country by political purifica-
tion, understanding that l am to
edit it, and that 7 am and have
taea--a-lAnhp- -Graae u.
back, with all my Iaight, and soul,
and strength, and my neighbor as
myself.
These ladies' and gentlemen rep
resent all shades of political faith,
and are indiscriminatcly Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and Prohibi-
tiOnists.
They are the very creme de la
creme of our best and most valua-
bic people.
