THE Every Evening says: THE
advertising OF sales of property
under execution process, commonly
called "sherif sales, is conducted
to-day just as 1t was years ago,
and thereby Experimentation
designed toinaugurate a reform, Is
nullitied.
We never knew only one or two
instances where the sheriff sales
were charged more than they should
be, and it We mistake not, the
Every Evening under its old man
agement, charged all that the law
allowed. and enough to allow the
sheriff his per cent as we'll. Most
all the newspapers all over the
country charge the sheriff transient
rates tor his advertisements. II
they charge any higher rates.
then there is a dIvvy in them with
somebody.
The trouble is that the Every
Evening has not been getting the
sheritf's advertising for several
years past and this is the reason
Of the article in last nights issue.
The REPUBLICAN can speak freely
at this time, as it is not dong any
advertising for the present Repub-
lican sheriff, and the article is not
hitting us. We will say there has
been too much pickering and bar
gaining Tor the printing the sheriff
has at his command during his two
years in Office. We know whereof
we speak.
The former owrer Of the Evening
Journal went 10 Pierce Gould when
he was elected sheriff Of New Cas-.
tie county. and offered 10 give him
$1,000 if he would give that paper

papers. the sheriff by law, being
required to advertise IN two papers
in New Castle county, but the
choice oil papers is left to the sher-
If. We don't see where the pub
fishers could overcharge the tran
silent rates, unless the sheriff and
attorneys should allow II. But
there are other things.
