INV fAPEhS dERE.-It seems pretty GER
tain that we are to have one II no. two new
daily papers in Washington. Ex-Represen-
tative John Lynch, OF Maine, will bring ont
his paper on the LIST of October and tbs old
GtCte office is now being put In shape for its
issue from that establishment. Among the
journalists OF experience and capacity men-
toned as engaged upon the editorial force
are Mr.. Clarence n. Barton, Ar. Peters, aud
Mrs. Briggs "Olivia" The new paper will,
Ii is said, he Independent in tone, but will
support "the policy" and will keep a par
ticularly vigilant eye upon Mr.. Blaine, with
whom 1t is understood Mr.. Lynch does not
"hitch horses"
On the other hand the plans for an anti
administration paper, to be issued by ex-
Public Printer Clapp, seem To be taking
some shape, and, according TO rumor the old
Chronicle establishment is likely to be utiI-
lied for the venture. Mr.. Clapp is reported
as saying that If he does start u newspaper IL
about whose views there can be no mistake. .
In the light OF paying business enterprise
II would seem to be q hazardous experiment
TO start two new daflies In such Journalistic
grave yard as Washington city, but NJ sssrs
Lynch and Clapp have both been the found :.
ers OF successful papers, one AZ Portland
Me-, and the other at Buffalo, N. Y, and thew
doubtless think they know what they are
about in breaking ground here. At any rate
for quite a number OF persons, and will serve
TO put a good deal of money in circulation
here (fUr publishing daily paper In Wash
ington is costly business, ) and SO they will
be apt TO receive smiling welcome, a ute
regardless of politics. Whether that well
come will be to hoSpitahie graves remain as to
be seen later.
