A Wall From the Every Evening.

passion is shown in having lost some
profitable advertising, and its misrepre-
sensations in tho statement that one OF
the largest business firms of this city
had withdrawn its advertising from
that paper because it had beooue too
Democratic, or in other words, on &C
count of the political complexion OF the
paper. Above all this its ingenious.
ness is shown in the attempt to create
sympathy for itself on account Of its
prosecutions, and, as it calls it, intimi-
dations The whole article, in the
usual Every Evening" style, glistens
with the same kind of intimidations
that the paper charges G. Warner& Co.
with practicins against it, with an ex-
cusable blindness.

ronage to any paper on account OF
politics, and there are none who know
that fact better than the editor of the
"Every Evening"" Looking over a paper
the other day considerably over a hun
dred years old, published when Will
mington was comparatively but a
village, we saw the advertisements Of
the Warmers located then as now at
the foot of Market street, and besides
being engaged then as now in the
shipping and freight business, they
carried on large wholesale and retail
grocery establishment, dropping the
last when it was found that black dia-
monds of Pennsylvania could BE- used
| for fuel, coal was substituted for
groceries, and thus the firm has con
tinued to the present, always leading
not only in their own special line
Of business, but leading in all common
dable enterprises which have made Viii.
miagton the city that she is. During
all the time they were in business their
lvertising carls have been found in
all the papers without regard to poll
tics, and it is a gross Misrepresentation
to assert now that this business firm
has Withdrawn its patronage from the
sc. t." on account Of its politics. We
have not consulted the Messrs. Warner
upon this question, but we will venture
the as-er,iol that Olitics has nothing
to do with it. Were the paper referred
to but even an honest outspoken Demo
cratic paper, or an honest Republican
paper Ca thing impossible for it to be-
it would no doubt receive the support
Of all honest business men, provided il
had circulation 10 entltle it to consid,
ration as a paying advertising medium.
The difficulty is that the paper has
been VIGOROUSLY dishonest. 1t started
ana-r the guise Of independence, and
with its circulation made up of the pa
irons of both political parties, that would
have b.en its proper course to have
pursued, but it was soon found that thu
coating Of independence was very thin
Indeed, and only seemed TO consist il
