(From the Redlands Citrograph)
The Sacramento "Record-Union' mas
commenced it's ninety-third volume
and forty-seventh year. That is
venerable age for this State, as 1t
very nearly embraces the life of the
State since settled by Americans. We
like the Record Union" immensely
1t is clean and dignified. 1t is nearer
right on every public question than
any other paper and its editorials are
strong and incisive and carry weight
which most metropolitan journals
do not. Long may you continue in
your good work.
