THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE. LARGEST REPUBLICAN CIRCULATION. THE TRIBUNE BEATS THE RECORD. THE TRIBUNE begins the new subscription year with a circulation unparalleled in its previous history. The paper has labored with its whole strength during the Presidential campaign, and its earnest advocacy of Republican principles has been met by the Republican party with an unexampled support. During election week THE TRIBUNE made a spurt; and its circulation, in racing parlance, broke all previous records. The following was the actual circulation for the seven days ending November 9: Sunday, November 9.... Semi-Weekly.... Total number of copies sold during the week.... Ninety-four tons of paper were used in this work. 99,100 101,500 188,600 167,100 160,600 172,000 129,000 Weekly, November 5, exclusive of all short term campaign subscriptions.. 145,910 38,300 .1,202,110 The following week THE TRIBUNE settled down to a steady gait. The bonâ fide sales of THE DAILY averaged 121,400 per day; THE WEEKLY was 142,650, exclusive of short term campaign subscriptions; and the SEMI-WEEKLY was 36,700. Or, 1,029,150 copies during the week. Those desiring to verify these figures can do so in THE TRIBUNE counting-room, where the affidavits of the press-men, the cashier, the paper makers, and others are on file THE TRIBUNE has publicly challenged The New York Times to a comparison of actual circulation. Though the challenge has been published day after day, it has not been accepted. During 1885 THE TRIBUNE will strive more zealously and hopefully than ever for its political faith. The return to power of the party that brought on the Rebellion must make the coming year one of the most interesting in our history. The more the people know of how Democrats deal with their government, the surer is Republican success the next time. THE TRIBUNE gives the news fully and fairly; it is a safe and attractive paper for the family circle; and is the persistent advocate of work for American workmen, and the general protection of American interests. The paper is printed in clear, large, easily-read type. THE WEEKLY is printed on Wednesday, and can usually be delivered on the day of publication. THE SEMI-WEEKLY, containing twice the matter of The Weekly, is printed before day light on Tuesday and Friday, contains the editorials, etc., of the Daily the same morning, and is sent out of town on the same early fast mail trains that carry the bundles of the Daily. For the general reader it is as good a paper for news as his own local daily; for literary and special matter it is apt to be superior. TERMS TO MAIL SUBSCRIBERS.

A WEEKLY MAGAZINE, it gives fifty-two numbers of sixty-four pages each, or more than Three and a Quarter Thousand double-column octavo pages of reading-matter yearly.
