Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1868-07-30

at the facts in the case,
The Rutland Independent and Rutland
County Journal are precisely the same in
size, printed at the same establishment,
and though purporting TO emanate from
different towns and different sections Of
the county, are printed weekly from the
same type, with perhaps column or two
Of local intelligence in either paper, differ
emit from the other only. To suit locality,
The Journal, in its first enlarged number,
claims TO "eontain more reading matter
than any other paper in the State" Now
an actual count Of reading matter shows
that It contained no more than the lndo-
pendent Of the same date, while the same
count shows that the proportion Of read.
ing matter in both Of these boosters, as
compared with the HERALD of the same
week is as 80 20 i35, the difference being
in our favor, True. both Of these journals
are printed on larger sheet than the
HERALD, and also in much larger type,
Of which latter they say nothing; but
news and reading matter is what Is eS-
peotel principally from newspaper in
this age, and il we give these commodi'
ties we will insis, on being the largest
paper in the general acceptation Of the
term. On the same grounds which these
papers claim TO be the ll,gea upon, the
DAILY HERALD might claim to be larger
than the Springfield Republican, as II Is
in size Of sheet; but we do not and on
account Of locality, cannot afford TO print
as much reading matter as does the Re
publican, and hence concede that it is the
urges, paper, as we claim for our own
over the productions of the proprietors OF
the Independent and Journal.
The Burlington Free Press is evidently
laboring under mistake as to its size, 1t
not being 80 large as the HERALD, either
daily or weekly, except on the occasion
of its printing double sheets. Yet it is
printed in about the same type, and did
it give a. much reading matter, the diff
ference would be hardly enough, on either
side, to boast Of. 1t is live, newsy pub
| LEGATION. and deserves well of the public
In conclusion, we have only TO say that
we claim, and know that our claim is
well founded, that we print, from our
point of view, the largest paper in Yer
mont, and give the latest news which the
telegraph wires and correspondents from
every sestion can furnish IA. More
money is expended in procuring news FOL
the HERALD than all other papers com
bincd in Rutland county, aud more thar
for any publication in the entire state
The size Of our sheet is large enough t.
suit ourselves and our patrons for th'
present, though at an early day, incrcaS
ing business will force us TO enlarge oul
dimensions, and when we do it will no
be to make idle boasts, but give ogr pa
irons benefits, in the shape VI additional
reading matter.
