ANOTHER EVENING PAPER-A San Fran
cisco gentleman-a man of money and
brains lis making arrangements to start
daily evening Democratic paper in this
city, which, he says, in every way will be
equal to any evening paper published upon
the coast. He saws the reason so many
papers have started in this city, and soon
aiterward fond their way to the newspa-
portal graveyard, was owing entirely to the
= that they lacked two essential reQui-
siteS-money and brains. OF the former
he Las an abundance, and his editorial staff
viii be selected from the ablest and most
experienced journalists on the coast. He
says Sacramento offers the best induce
ment for lively, newsy and reliable even
Ing paper-one that can be read in the
family circle OF any city upon this coast.
This lOng-felt want, he says, he means to
supply, and Sacramento Will then be able
10 boast of having as good an evening pa
per AS any interior town of the State.
