THE INTER-OCEAN is a Republican newspaper. The following is quoted, from 
its prospectus: 
From the beginning THE INTER-OCEAN has stood firmly by the principles of the 
Republican party, and has. in season and out of season, contended for “protection to 
American industry.” It does not agree with the idea that the mission of the Repub- 
hc in party is finished; on the contrary, it believes that, purified by adversity, it will in the 
near future again rise to the higher planes of thought and notion and be completely 
restored to the confidence of the American people. The most important agencies in 
accomplishing this result will be Republican journals. If a reliable, stanch Republi¬ 
can newspaper was important when the Republican party was in power, it is doubly 
so now that the Democracy control the National Government.
