DAILY, SUNDAY

The Journal is first of all a newspaper. Its primary object is to pub Iish the news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Besidej the service of two great news agencies, which cover foreign countries aa well as the entire United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, who give attention to those events and occurrences that are likely to ba of particular interest to the Indiana public Its Washington bureau waa established for the purpose of looking after matters in which the State and its people are concerned, and is under the management of an Indiana man well acquainted with the local business and political issues. It hag a correspondent in every town of importance in the State, and is con stantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its staff of city reporters is large, and its local departments aro unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far better equipped than any other inthe State, and welcomes comparison ,Avith its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With all it endeavors to be accurate and .trustworthy, printing the news, whatever it may be, without personal or partisan b;as. ' But while the Journal is non-partisan as to news, it is a Republican paper, and sets forth Republican principles. It is important that Uiq people shall read the truth about these principles, and it was with the od ject of putting everybody in the way of doing so that the price of the DAILY JOtJRNAL Was reduced to 15 CENTS A WEEK. No other method of securing a Republican victory at the polls is so certain as the circulation of Republican papers among voters. Since the reduction in price thousands of subscriptions have poured in from all parts of the State, showing that a need was supplied. In order to hava the proper influence and effect upon voters seeking for trustworthy information the Journal should go into their hands at once, and not nextl spring or summer. Clubs are being formed and agencies established wherever daily mails reach and as rapidly as traveling agents can visit thef places, but Republicans in each and every locality cannot do their part greater service than to interest themselves in circulating the JournaL SUN DAY TOURNAL Is a paper that gives more attention to miscellaneous literature than tho other editions, and contains in its sixteen, and often twenty, pages a va riety of - CHOICE READING MATTER That satisfies the most exacting taste. The same reasons that call for the immediate extension of the daily circulation apply to the .weekly. This is carefully edited, with a special view to the wants of Indiana readers, both in its general and political news. Its subscription price, $i, with reduction to clubs, places it within the reach of all, and no campaign contribution can be so effective as when spent in furnishing this paper to readers who need Republican doctrine.
