WORCESTER:
THURSDAY, AUGUST IA, 1915.

The GAZETTE of yesterday has another article of
some length in relation its recommendation of the
Transcript in preference the Spy and 10 what we have
said on the subject. Had the editor made a per
fecty fair statement, should have been willing 10 let
his justification of his pass for what i: is worth as
as we neither seek desire controversy with any of
our contemporaries, and engage in il except when
forced upon
The Gazette claims the right TO think and speak on the
subject We have questioned the right but have
conceded to the fullest extent and only claim an equa
right ifhe says anything intended inure u.s. as he did
in this case, 10 state such facts shall place the sub,
ject in its proper light, before the public
The editor of the Gazette says he does not see how
he can be charged with nvidousness in his remarks
when 10 illustrate his idea Of the advantages of daily
paper he alludes to the Transcript, and speaks Of
transaction which occurred lefore the Daily Spy came
into being. Had he done that by ITSELF there would
have been nothing nvdious in it, But the fact IS that
the obvious intent of the two articles, taken in connec-
ton, the publisher, "by accident or design" had pla-
ced them, was draw invidious comparison between
the Transcript and Spy unavorable TO the latter the
illustrations of the benefits of daily though drawn from
the Transcript being presented give the impress
sion that they the peculiar advantages of that daily
And, what we regarded as eminenty unfair was the
speaking of the very transaction alluded to by the editor
Of the Gazette, in the way he did speak of it, which
was, in way to make his readers suppose that both
the papers in existence the time and that the
Transcript much more prompt than the Daily Spy
in giving the to the public when i'll fact the Daily
Spy not commenced ill some days after If the
editor of the Gazette in this "no departure from the
rules of courtesy" should judge that his intellectual
vision might be improved by artifcialaid
But the editor ofte Gazette charges us with dragging
the private sentiments of the editor of the Transcript
i" before the community for the purpose of Withdrawing
patronage from his paper" We deny both the fact and
the motive. We have not alluded 10 his private opinions
We know what they are, but from his public acrs--
acts peculiarly of public character known to the vhole
community, and in which the whole community have an
interest was Of them only that we spoke-and, even
of them should have spoken but that his own in
judcous friend of the Gazette imposed the necessity
upon And, it appears Cs to require no small de-
gree Of the part Of the Editor Of the Ca
zeue to charge such motive upon u.s. in defending our
self from the injurious consequence, Of articles written
by him, the admitted object Of which was, the withdraw
ing Of patronage from this paper and the transfer Of i
10 the Transcript.
II OUT COURSE udS ccn lDcral toward the
the Gazette ntmates what has been that Of the Ga
zette toward US Has the editor looked at the subject
in this point of vewl If we have spoken of the noi,i
cal relation Of the Transcript it was because !, was
forced upon us. The Gazette does the same bv ne
without that apology. Do attempt to promote the
interests of the Spy though our success NAV diminish
the profits of others That is the wav in the MANAGE
nent Of all kinds Of busness-but The editor Of tho Ga
zeue intereres between US and another TO onr ;nr
"hen, according to the statement in his last article I
has not the same excuse to offer for it, And if ,boo i;
an improperly in Graggmg private political opinions be.

fore we deny having done, what measure Of renroha.

do his best and his worst to show it, We shrink No, r
the ordeal But, il he means that the Spv eyo. c.
the day we were first connected with it, stood in ao dan
