The publisher of the Chicago Dispatch, the great nati onal democratic weekly, will send to every new subscriber for three months a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten centB. If you are not already taking the great political weekly, send in ten centeatonee. Yon should not only do this yourself, but you should induce all your friends to join with you.
