A tew wceli.s a;o this cotincil

$a(lil for the purpose of aihertisini;
tliis city's advantages and re

if rightfully expended, will no

having done liiis, it seems In me in
coiisisieni that the same coi n -il
tlioilld take the 'hid' sylein and
make it its policy in regard to the
I'ity print inv;, and I will In ielly f.',i e
J on my reasons.
In tin first place tile law allows
only one-fourth of the price for
priiitiny city advertisements that it
does for general lee,al ailvertise
iiirnts. This rate for city adver
tisements is so hnv that no legiti
mate newspaper can (ifford to print
the advertisements for less and
ft ill make a fair and teasoualile
profit. In fact our town merchant.-!
would not tie admitted into either
The Journal's or Tin: Hekw.ii's

that i'lt- contained in the bids here

At t!n-' point !r. Sleimker, vv ho

The Journal " Thespcakcr informed
the mouthy councilman that other

Hut the facts which wen heiny pre
sented were distasteful to the man
who t'l.A 1 MS "to he here in the inter

not desist from his objection. Mr.

on account of his business could

followinn- to the editor of the

l'KAK Sin:--A few weeks since you
took the liberty of suestiiiH; my
name as an available candidate for
the state senate at the approachiuir
fall election, and afterwards took
occasion to affirm the correctness
of that siine-estion. The other
county papers have since men
tioned my name in connection
with the office, the result bcinn
that I am considered a candidate.
While I neatly appreciate the con
fidence expressed by you, as well as
the endorsement comine; from re
publicans 1 hrounlioii ( the county,
in justice to ni)self I now wish it
understood that I am not a candi
date lor the nomination a. id con
not accept it if tendered. I deem it
expedient to thus express inv -ell at
this time, that I may not be con
sidered a lactor in the making np
of the legislative ticket and that at
tention may be diverted in other
directions. I would not have it
understood that 1 underrate the im
portance and honor of the office,
lor any ollice within the eiit of the
republican partv confers an honor
worthy lo be considered. and
carr en with it a n -spon-ibl 1 1 it y of
no small importance.
Ihe leaders and representatives
of the republican party must now,
not only see 1h.il the eventful and
glorious record of the past is not
dimmed or obscured, but that the
party shall continue (, K ;i-1 in all
those things that tend to add
strength and dignity to the govern
ment and render to the people the
most ptod.
Thanking ou as well as all others
who have been ursine niy candi

JOE,
STADELMANN'S BLOCK.
An Advertiser's Experience.
Some days nyo Till- llKk'ALU was
Convetsinn; with a ITatt.-mouth
merchant in regard to advertising
and he replied; "Kverybody knows
me and there is little use in ;idver-ti.-iii"'
in ihe dull season, anywav."
So in my merchants take this same,
but very-erroneous view, that Till-;
Hl-:hr.U.l feels justified in niviur
this little bit of historv.
Till- II i-K'U.i) called this particu
lar merchant's attention to the fact
thai Joe, the clothier, (who is the
largest advertiser in riattsiiiouth)
kept his bin- aeverliseincnt in Till-;
IIlTv'Ai.H and The Journal ilurin all
the time that he was out of busi
ness entirely the time between the
lire and the opennint;-. "Yes," re
plied the merchant, "I noticed this,
but I cannot see how it paid him
to do so." To which Tin
IlKK'Al.n replied that it was
not responsible for what men
could not see, but the fact re
niained that it did pay, and had
been so demonstrated by the larye
crowd at Joe's openine,' and it would
yet be more fully demonstrated.
Thi lias pro'-en true. At the time
of the lire Joe said to his advertis
ing inaiianer, "ordi r out the adj
v ertiseiuenls in the papers until we
jiclj started aain". Tne inauaner
objected and stated his reason, aud-ii)n-that
unless result- verified his
judgment Joe would not longer bl
under obligation to accept his de
cisions in ren.ird to such matters.
The i loihicr said "all ri-lit," and
the sp.n e vv,.s retain -d in Till-; IIl-.K'-AI.D
and The Journal. Saturday
evening' ill the close of l usiue-s
Joe said to his ad vert isinn- manager,
"you were rii;ht." and an invest i;a
t ion of t he cash book .-bowed that
the receipts by a very 'are-c amount
were in excess of the expectation of
the men hunt clothier. lie was
more than satisfied with the results.
Never a', lin will he doubt that it
pays to do t he riu lit kind of adver
tisinn at AIT. seasons, and by any
business man, however well he may
be known, and Joe is about as well
known as any of die ( ass county
merchants.
However, in order to make adver
tisiue, a success, the merchant must
keep first class noods, treat his cus
toiners squarely and never make a
misrepresentation in regard to
j'oods. The newspaper takes the
customer- to the door, ti e nier
chant must do the rest.
