Democratic Paper Is
Not Yet in
Sight.

The germ of the Democratic news
paper does not seem to come out int
the sunlight some. There is a hank.
ering for the smell of the ink and fol
a bite of the roller composition on the
part of the Democratic writers but the
angels fail to materialize SO the chance
of getting a new sheet in Honolulu
seems to be fading.
WHAT SHARES ARE WORTH.
Shares in the company are par S25t
with market price of dollar" said
Deacon Trent yesterday, "and you may
have as many as you wish. There has
been nothing don@ though we would
like to have a good Democratic sheet
in the Territory. The Republican was
started with no particular object in
view, unless it was to close out the
Advertiser. and in that it failed. There
may be a field for a Democratic paper
here but there has been nothing done
toward organizing a company and I do
not know that there viii be one"
WHAT Is LACKING.
Considering the fact that it is quite
improbable that the new paper could
have the Associated Press franchise,
and the delay in getting a sufficient
number of linotypes. it does seem pos
sible that the newspaper chrysalis will
take on wings very soon. w. A Kin
ney, the Democratic war horse, does
such a. venture.
You may have all you want for
nothing, take the whole thing" he said
to a reporter for the Advertiser in an
swer to a query as TO the selling price
of the. shares" There is nothing in it.
not enough to be worth even a mention
probably not amount to anything
more"
Asked relative to the reported re-
count he said: why not recount the
whole thing as long as they are to
count the vote for Sheriff? We shall
certainly ask for recount of the Sem
ate and Representative ballots for the
reason that if there can be a mistake
in a count where fourteen is the ma
jority there might be a mistake in the
count where eight and eleven is the
difference between success and fail
ure''
ACTION REGRETTED.
A bushes man said he regretted the
action of Sheriff Brown as it proved
that he cared really very
little for the good of the community
The chance of losing a Representative
and a Senator to the Democrats SEEM
ed very certain and yet there is only
one chance in a thousand or more that
Brown would get more votes than We're
reported by the inspectors. Indeed,
he said, lit looks to me as though
Brown would be beaten worse than
ever and / do not see how the Re
publican party can take him UP again
after the recount. even if he should
win, which is quite improbable. To me
it appears that he has been the VIC
tim of poor advisers who will tell him
in the end they thought it would come
out the other way"
