Daily Republican., 1883-12-11


The Local Newspaper Change.
No doubt there are some who will be
ready to say, now the REPUBLICAN
will rejoice that the Gazette has had to
bow to the force Of financial straits and
cease to exis'. We are happy to in
form such persons that the kEPuBLI-
CAN en,ertains no such feelings. Upon
the contrary it Las always had the best
feelings for it's ueighbors until in the
exuberance Of youthful blood interject-
ed into its veins, the la ter became not
only an enemy to the REPUBLICAN but
q persistent and malignant prosecutor.
Even then and since, the REPUBLICAN,
has entertained the Lost respectful and
friendly feeling for Mr.. Taylor, one Of
the editors and publishers. No, the
REPUBLICAN prefers to take its place
amongst the mourners at the funeral,
than to be found rejoicing at the down
fall of foe whose worst enemies were
those of its own household. Wore we
to look at the matter In the sordid light
of the benefits that will accrue to US by
the collapse of the Gazette, AMI be
governed by them, we might rejoice.
Wear not the purchasers of any part
Of the property or influence that is
sought to be conveyed to the Every
Evening for consideration, and yet
the REPUBLICAN by the force of cir
cumstances will no doubt reap a large
and direct benefit by absorbing a
large number of the subscribers of the
Gazette who will voluntarily become
patrons of the REPUBLICAN, which il
now the only English penny paper
published in the city. Those who have
been taking a penny paper, though they
be Democrats, will still feel like taking
apenny paper though it be a Republi
can paper. For long time past it has
been the claim of the REPUBLICAN thai

than any Democratic paper pub.
