The Twin City Dailies.-We clip the following notice of our humble endeavors to serve the public acceptably, from the columns of the Iowa City Capital Reporter:
R. I. Repub.
"It is a striking evidence of advancing prosperity on all hands that the publishers of the Rock Island Daily Republican and the Davenport Daily Gazette, have felt warranted in enlarging their issues, to an extent that would seem hardly justifiable in most of the western and many of the eastern cities."
The former is a staunch Democratic sheet and has battled manfully for the cause, and with it of course are our political sympathies; the latter ranges itself in opposition to our faith, but has ever sustained the character of a liberal journal and useful medium of intelligence.
We wish the enterprising proprietors, respectively, an abundance of success; and hope they will materially aid in disseminating their own "good times out among their inland brethren."
