FAIRxoST, W, YAo Sept @.-The
announcement in the ISTELLldENCRR
That owen S, Mckinney, ofthis county,
will about the middle Of November,
start a Democratic daily paper at Park
epburp, was no surprise TO the politicians
here, as it was known for some time
that the project was being considered.
Your correspondent hasit iromareliable
source that the new daily is a sure go,
and the object Is to makeit itpoSsible, q
State organ of the'stalwart Democracy,
Ex-senator Camden Is to be the patron
saint Of the enterprise, though he does
not put upall the money which will keep
italiye until tits demonstrated that the
State Is not large enough Tor two "or'
gans,"
Bile, Of Clarksburg, will chip in a couple
Of thousand dollars TO set the venture 70
going, and Mr.. Mckinney will furnish
he piant and the practical mechanical,
business and editorial experience.
Whatever else Is wanting ex-senator
Camden will furnish, aided by his able
lieutenants chief among whom Is ex'
Collector Of Internal Revenue John 7.
McGraw 1t has long been the desire OF
tbele gentlemen to have an organ dis
tinctiyely their own, preierring to have
A paper that they could wholly control,
and with which they could mould pub.
lC sentiment in their particular political
interests, rather than continue TO ad.
minister to tho "tinanCial necessities" Of
The Wheeling Register aud not receive
the worth Of their money. II has been
a net hobby OF Mr.. Mckinney to
start a daily "Organ" in opposition
to the Register, aud he has for several
yrars been working Mr.. Camden up to
The point Of smiling upon the project.
Mr.. Camden is a better business man
than he is a politician and 1t took long
and eloquent pleadings to convince him
that he might SEQ return for whatever
he should invest In the scheme. II was
only when the weight of a probable re-
turn to the United States Senate as a
successor to Mr.. Faulkner, through the
efforts Of the new organ, was brought to
bear upon him that he consented to
'reIax hil negation," and guarantee his
support.
There Is Il Wild, wierd scheme at the
bottom Of this daily newspaper enter
prise, asile from MF. Camden's laudable
ambitions. 1t almost takes away ones
breath to think about 1t, A little bird
whispered to the INTRLLiGEScRR cor.
respondent exclusively, that the uld-
mate object Ia TO transfer the daily to
Wheeling, where II will bo published in
out-and.Out opposition 10 the Register.
Money Ia no object so long as Mr.. Cam.
den's purseRtrlngs are not tied in hard
knot, and tho scheme is 10 either take
the place Of the Register as q recognized
organ, or make II so warm for that paper
that the present owners will be willing
to sell.
Mr.. Mckinney Is one OF the ablest
newspaper writer's in West Virginia and
will publish sparkling paper. With
the bi .qins and the money Of the Demo-
cratic party ut his back and his own nat
ural news, ,6apGr talent he will make the
scheme 90 from the start.
Many people have wondered II the
main object Is not to crowd out the
Parker4burg Sentinel. Well, 1t is not,
The plot is much deeper and contem-
plates the bagglng Of larger game.
