We Are Proud OF IL.
Blackstone Courier

TIE RICHMOND DISPArcn is a great news
paper. No wonder that all yirginians feel
a pride in this the representative journal
of the Commonwealth. 1t is newsy. relia-
bic. conservative. yet soundly Democratic,
and loses nothing by comparison with the
leading dailies from San Francisco to New
York. We have seen them all, and never
so fully appreciate the DrsPArcH as when
we have Just completed the reading Of q
sensational and exaggeratiye northern or
western sheet.
