Consolidated.

The St. Paul Press and the Pioneer
have united their respective offices, their
fortunes and their destiny in an effort to
produce Il single paper which they call
the Pioneer Press. The cUnsumnlation
Of the Union was made known last Sab
bath morning. The public were COM
plctcly surprised. The consolidation is
regarded generally rs q very sensible bus
mess arrangement, and one that will result
in the production Of a better paper than
WAS possible under The old regime. Since
Mr.. BlaHely assumed control of the Pho
ncey, that paper has not been a democrat
&c organ When Mr.. Dunnc|l was renoin-
mated, the Press ceased to be the cham
riol' supporter OF party nominees. When
the Pioneer refused to advocate the cleo
ton Of +. ST. Julien Cox, it Eut itself out
side Che pale Of democratic recognition,
and when it urged the election CT VIM.
Locllren, it did SO less for the purpose Of
Davis. When the Press failed IN It's CT
! forts to return Mr. Ramsey. 10 the United
