THE "HALF-BREED."


The Ctiren, in It's issue of September 18th,
dishes up half-column article of subter-
fuge that we recognize as being original, for
the characteristics of the author we see
cropping out in every papgraph-onc mis-
statement after another We give few ex-
tracts.
"Of the three papers the Gtison is the most
read having bona iide list of over 30s in
the borough. The REPUBLICAN has less than
800 names in the borough. ."-CitiseH.
If necessary, we can satisfy advertisers, and
all others interested, that the REPUBLICAN
circuates from % to 100 more papers in every
postoiiice in county than our contemporary
More than this, we venture the assertion that
the jakey' sheet has not over $50 on its
Cleariield list while we deliver over $40 to
Clearlleld subscribers through the printing
office and postonlcc Now, yilifer come and

they don't live in this section of the State.
He begged for the borough printing. and,
having secured il, he now confesses there is
no profit in IL to the printer; and had he no
restraints upon his unselfish spirit and |
economical good management,we are nightly |
afraid there would be no profit in Il for the |
citizens of Clear6eld borough. We nut in
no "bidn for the borough printing, for the |
reason that we have little faith in the way
that such bids are disposed Of 1t would
have made no difference what price we would |
have nut in. Bixler would have gone so cents |
lower after ascertaining the amount of each
bid in order to carry of the Job. We are not
compelled to "put in a bidn and work for
nothing. We don't propose to kill time in |
that way. While the Citizen is doing work |
for the borough and Saving hundreds ofI
dollars wear to thetaxpayers,n we will work
at something that will pay expenses at all |
events
If he can stand his prices we are very sure
that we can. as we have all the work we can
well attend to at our regular rates, the rates
we have been charging for wears. Yes. Blk |
ler Won can have all such contracts. We do
not wish to be considered at all selfish in that
respect
