The daily gazette., 1879-05-23

paper
The Ecery Epening and Commercial
has endeavored to lengthen out a aprecaii-
Gus existence by constant efforts to drag |
its contemporaries down to its own level.
From the very inception of its existence it
has sought to degrade by vituperation and
villifying slander every one who stood in
its way, Or the way of those whon it
sought, in its sycophantic manner, to
commend tor public advancement. 1t
never ceased to misrepresent and slander
others, while it, in the most disgusting
and egotistical language, magnified itself.
1t has openly and repeatedly declared
that neither the GAZETTE, Republican
nor Herald ought to be permitted to live;
it alone was the newspaper--the only
newspaper in Wilmington. Its whole
object has been to destroy others that it
might flourish alone. On the same prin-
ciple the Legislature might be asked to
charter one company to do all the iron
work., all the clothing; or all the car
pentering work, and the President of the
company to have all the profits. Could
that paper have had its own way there
would have beenno other papers sustain
ed except ITSELF because it had by its
declaration the "largest circulation" and
then when it fell to the smallest clrcula
ton, no other paper but it should be sus-
tanned because of its own declaration that
It's two cent paper was the chest nswspa.
per-" the GAZETTE and Republican were
"nasty penny papers, and failing, afte
resorting to all such unbusiness-like an,
derogatory language to elevate itself to
paying business attitude, it was finall,
compelled to give up the ghost as tw'
cent paper, and offer itself at a reduced
rate to secure even moderate circulation
and advance itself by the addition of tn,
rew hundred it prints more than it di,
when it acknowledged its failure as
two cent organ. In fact by its owl
declarations that paper has once failed a
apenny paper, after spending thouSand
of dollars of its stockholders money
then it failed again as a high-priced tw
cent paper, after squandering thousand
of other mems money and, as usua
slandering everybody who would nc
agree to help it in its dirty persons
career of reckless abuse of people, froI
the judiciary to the most active an
honorable of our business men; an
having long ago itself declared that thel
was no money in one cent paper,
course it will fail sometime again. tt
sooner the better for the interests of IL
people.
