BREACH OF CONFIDENCE.

The scoop" which the Star "ex-
clusively" exposed last afternoon,
headed "Dsscon Teuta as a Banker"
is a breach OF confidence in which
our Mr Testa reposed trust and gave
information OF private character,
not to the High Sheriff ss claimed,
but to Governor Garter directly
before he left for the Msinlsud.
This private letter, dated May 17th
last, was given in ell confidence, TO
which the Governor acknowledged
receipt on the 19.b, saying that he
had referred the same to the Attor-
ney General, it being "oi sufficient

Democratic Candidates,

The Democrats are, 10 our opinion,

didstes to be placed before the pso-
pie for election in November. There
should be no hasty or snap judg-
ment in the selection OF candidates
Nc man is too strong to be put up;
and no effrot should be spared to
get the strongest men in the island

lies the strongest hope OF Democra.
