Pdvt rliEers, don't be Deceived
We publish the following from We;
terdays Every Evening.
Every Evening cannot, of course, en-
gage in controversy with any 81
called newspaper which lives by pan
dering to taste for Safeguarding, bu
it wishes to say that the circular re
Gently issued from its business offic
to advertisers contains the exact truth
and that the attempt to break its forct
by int ested parties is based on gross
Misrepresentation and positive false-
hood. Every Evenings circulation i:
to-day larger than that of any other
paper in Wilmington SO far as We can
Judge from the sworn statements Of the
editors OF other sheets. II is creditable
to this city that this should be so, be.
cause it would be to the everlasting
disgrace Of its people if the claim Of
the only paper which disputes the lead
in circulation with Every Evening were
true. 1t is a reasonable inference that
people who care for decency will not
support habitually indecent paper

contrary and dare this boaster and de-

sensible men will believe 1t. We
charged tho Every Evening with mis-

the circular it isrued in regard TO its
real circulation. We stated that de-
