The correspondent of the Hous
ton Post has got inside the negotia
tions said to be pending between the
Democrat and Times of this city
He says:
The report in the Post of the con.
solidation of the Times and Demo.
Graf is without foundation. The on
ly negotiation ever made was the of
fer of $4,000 for the Times by f.
A. Burke, editor of the Democrat
which was refused by the Times
management, who wanted $50, 900.
The circulation and business of the
Times is now better than at any 9th.
er period of its existence, hence the
desire Of Burke, who is owner of the
Democrat, state treasurer and pro.
minent politician, to get control Of
the Times.
Those who are supposed to know
say this is an approximately correc,
statement of the condition of things,
Estates.
