Everybody is Talking About the
st. Louis Republic.

And indeed there is something
to talk about. Where there's
smoke there's fire. Things are
happening at The Republic. Its
new editor, Horatio w. Seymour,
has his own ideas about making a
newspaper. And Republic read
ers seem to think they are pretty
good ideas, too. They are
tickled with the crisp, spfcy
little paragraphs of editorial of
comment which appear each day {;
they are delighted with the good,
sound, militant Democracy-old-
fashined, JefferSonian Demo
cracy-and the merciless expos
ure of Republican fallacies and
misrule; they are laughing over
the caricatures and funmaking
cartoons; they are interested in
the stories of strange, moved
things that happen in everyday
life and recognize the superior
manner in which the news in
general is given they are pleas
ed with the news in general is
given; they are pleased with the
new drSS The Republic is wearing
clearer type and more oper
lines.
The enlarged size of The Re
public, its enlarged staff o.
writer's, it's enlarged facilities for
obtaining and printing the new.
and the livelist and best editoria
page in the Mississippi Vale,
are making The st. Louis Re
public the most talked of, tn.
most interesting and the cheap
est newspaper, value considered
to be had by the residents o
Missouri and contiguous ter
ritory.
