| La addition to being the most stu
pid, arragont, insolent and dictate
rial paper in the State, the Daven
port Gazette now puts in its rightfu
claim to being the brassiest.
We have before us circular let
ter from that Indian Ring concern
III which it asks us to publish hall
column advertisement OF its superior
merits AZ anewspaper, as the differ
ence in exchange between the
COURIER and Gazette in the follow
ing trigid paragraph:
I" DEAR SIR Your atteu lien is
respectfully directed to the con.
"denset prospectus Of the Gazette TO,
1870, sent herewith the publica.
''tion OF which in your paper, dis
played as in copy as nearly a: pos
"sible, will oblige. Please publish as
''many time. as in your Judgment
"shcald be allowed us in considera-
"tion of difference in cost of your
daily and that of the Daily Gazette,
(which you receive in exchange"
We exchange with all the leading
Dailies in the country we desire to,
on even terms, and should like to con.
tinue to exchange with the Gdsetse,
especially since it seems determined
to write us into more public favor by
an abusive notice Of Ottumwa, and
Dlackguard assault on the COURIER,
in nearly every issue o;that pondcrous
concern, but we must fnrego that
pleasure, rather than to publish
twenty-five dollar puff, as the differ.
encc in the value between our Daily
issues, as estimated by the Gazette.
Bearing in. view the limited mum.
Der Of Dailies in the State, and that
our seven columns lie much larger
in proportion to the size Of Ottumwa,
than the Gasettes nine columns are
to Davenport, and that our informa.
ton is just as important to the Ga.
sette as the Gasette's is to us, then it
will be seen at glance, on what
firm foundation rests tho claims of
the Gazette to be the par.erce1leacc or
gan ofjournalistic fairness, dscency,
ana common honesty,as illustrated in
this attempt to gouge us out of on
advertisement worth about four
times as much as a yearly subscrip
ton to theOraele OF the Iowa Press is
worth.
If you don't want the COURIER for
the Gazette, stop the latter at your
earliest convenience, and send us
the stamps in advance, and we will
publish your prospectus at the regu-
lar rates, minus the usual editorial
endorsement.

to himself as to dispel all nope for fu.
