John IL. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation OF the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
so cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers;
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of Business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those OF greater magnitude,
