NEWSPAPER DEVELOPMENTS.
The Post and Standard have severed all
connection, and the great scheme to pub
lish an afternoon Democratic edition and
morning Republican edition has evil
4 IDENTIFY fallen through. The cause Of the
fracture was disagreement between the
arrangements OF the two papers and the
failure of the editor of the Post to put
up the necessary cash. Judge Rhodes
announces this evening that herafter his
paper will be a union sheet, printed un-
der the rules of the Ogden typographical
union. He further states that within a
week the Post company will be incorpo-
rated and the paper thereafter published
with its own plant.
