II one could inaugurate war against
church steeples without having his mo-

AS TO CIRCULATION

The representatives Of the Cincinnati Daily
Times having had the audacity to dispute the
large circulation of the Cincinnati DAILY STAR,
before the County Commissioners, when
the award of the contract for publishing
the delinquent personal tax list was about
to be made to U.s. we propose to settle the question
of circulation before the public as fully as we did
before the Commissioner We therefore propose
to the Daily Times to prove the following propo-
sitions:
FIRST-That the DAILY STAR has published and
circulated more papers any one day during the
present year than the Daily Times has during the
whole six days Of any week in that time.
SECOND-That the DAILY STAR crculates In
the City of Cincinnati regularly more than three
times as many papers as the Daily Times.
THIRD-That the DAILY STAR circulates In
Covngton Newport, Ludlow, West Covington
and Dayton, Ky,-the cities on the opposite bank
Of the Ohio-more than ten times as many
papers as the Daily Times.
FOURTH-That in the cities of Springfield, Ham
ilton and Piqua, Ohio; Lexington, Covington and
Newport Kentucky; Greensburg, Vincennes and
Lavrenceburg Indana-three representative cit
lea In each of the three States tributary to Cincin
nati-ths circulation of the DAILY STAR is more
than fifteen times that OF the Daily Times
FIFTH-That the DAILY STAR has lists OF regu-
lar subscribers in three times as many places
rs the Daily Times, and that these lists OF the
DAILY STAR average three times as many
subscribers as those OF the Daily Times
We challenge the Daily Times to
a contradiction of these five prOpO.
sitiOns, and offer to refer the matter
to any fair person of their selection,
and afford every means of arriving
at the truth, SO far as the circuia-
tiOn of the DAILY STAR is con-
.cerned,
