The Herald'S Subscribers.

remarkiug on the Herald s rapid
Iy growing subscription list.
makes this pertinent observa-
ton: why not print n list of
the score or more that has stop
ped it during the last week" "
The He raid is always ready to
oblige, and elsewhere will be
found an atfidavit that covers the
ground, and no doubt will re-
lieve the Democrats anxiety.
About six weeks ago we We're
informed that a report WAS cur
rent that 20 subscribers to the
Herald had called enmasSe and
ordered it stop d; and we notice
this report is in the 'twenties."
Now whether these two ran o.
yer to the Democrat and said we
are 20" or whether the Dem
ocrat counted them twenty diff.
ferent times, of course we have
no way of knowing; and any way
the two getting up to twenty
in going one block, there mi ght
be question of how many there
would be of them if they had
travelled 'steen blocks-on the
supposition thtt a cipher is add
ed for each block.
And now it's the Democrats
turn If our worthy conte empt-
uary will under oath give the
number who have ordered the pa
per stopped in the last three
months, the Herald will gladly
pay the notary fee.
And again, if it will under
oath tell how many names of its
subscribers. past and present, it
pnt on It's books withol5 their
consent, the Herald will gladly
pay the notary fee.
And again, if it will under oath
give The number of paid-in-a ad-
vance subscribers it has, and
there are more than fifty of
them, the Herald will gladly pay
the notary fee.
We have no doubt that our "ci-
lpher-tosthe4 4bipcls contem ptua-
.fy'sa 's.sss+ass;s4ss;s-g g6ssdsss.tdfss}s91sd,
but the above under the lock and
key of Il seal would look better.
The Herald is not asking more
than it will give. If the Demo
crat will make the above atfida-
Wits, conditioned on the Herald s
doing likewise, we will under
oath give the number of names
we have put on our books with
out the party's consent, and the
number of paid-in advance sub
scriptionS we now have on our
books-and we will pay for our
own notary work,
We are not Offering to pay. the
Democrats notary fees because
it is not able to do so itself, but
because we are warting that in
formation for the public, and
such information should proper
ly be at the HeIald's expense.
