mept from the GAZETTE" This must
have been a mistake altogether. we
aimed at reaching the facts in the case
and only missed stating them accurately
by inserting tie name of the Republican
where we should have insertedGAZErrE.
The GAZETTE aud Republican adver-
tised the farm. It was sold and the sale set
aside. r. L. Armstrong, Republican,
being Sheriff, chose the Repubiicoa tor
re-advertising the farm and dropped the
GAZETTE. The Every Erening was Sc
lected es having the largest circulation,
and the farm w's again sold, and this
time brought 81, 500 less. This renders
the "unexpectedp compliment rather
doubtful or turns the fruits which the
Rep,tbtican had culled into its basket
over to the GAZETTE.
Itis true, as the Republican intlmates,
that the GAZETTE need not have refer
red to this matter, as but few OF the
Sberiff7s sales appear in the GAZETTE.
1t had yesterday ard has again to-day
twice As many Trustees sales of real
estate as sales by the Sheriff. 1t has
always been noted as a medium for the
advertising Of real estate and it is very
rarely that farm or city property is
sold that is not advertised in the
GAZETTE. 1t has wide circulation
both daily and weekly, among the most
intelligent classes, and we give such ad
vertisements the benefit of being read
by over fou- thousand subscribers; and
no Misrepresentation can affect its
standing among our business people. 1t
has never laid any claim to being SEN
sation paper; and does not claim to be.
To show how utterly careless the editor
of The Republican is of the truth, he re-
ferred to us the other day as being sim
becile," when in fact we are onlya little
in advance OF the prime of life, and lie
is some years our senior. Now, why
does the man do this? is bis business so
the falsehoods that Imagination can in
vent TO keep him out of the hands of
the Sheriff, whom he has been unable TO
drive, coax or bribe into giving him the
profit of publishing his sales? Surely
the Republican is in bad way, when i,
cannot exist without the political pat
roDage Of the Democratic party. Nov
the Sherif1's sales are not published auy
where exclusively in the papers that CLAIM
the largest circulation. The N. Y. Dali
Ne,cs claims circulation of over 120
900, but it never contains public sal
of real estate. The n. Y. Herald an
Tribune both claim great circulation!
but never publish Sherifl7s sales, Will
such papers as tie Journal u CommerC
and N. Y. Post do. The Philadelphia
Star, Ledger and Times never publish til
Sheriff's sales; while the Erening Tele
graph and the ChrOnacie and Herald d
publish them. So that it will be see
that our Sheriff pursues the same polio
that is recognized and followed in bot
those cities, and in the country generall
