Clarkson thinks it necessary if the Republicans are to | win in 1892 that the Republican newspapers be better supported, and , their circulation more widely extend ed. In this Mr, Clarkson shows his good sense sayn the B. S. Journal „ If all the Republican | support was withdrawn irom them a very large percentage of the Demo cratic and so-called Independent , newspapers would be compelled to suspend for lack of patronage. Let good Republicans see to it that j newspapers which advocate their i own political faith be better sup ported, and the result will soon be apparent in better Republican news- I papers. Every conscientious editor —sad no profession contains a larg er portion of cor3cientious men— i will rnuKe his paper as good as the support given him v,ill justify; ir fact, in a majority of cases he makes it far better than the support lie re ceives will justify.
