Through the efforts of Col. ]. L.
Wolfner, of St. Louis, promotion
scheme is being attempted to estab-
lish in that city Democratic morning
daily newspaper. Every worthy DEM
ocrat throughout the State will hope
thu. such plan may be carried to a
successful conclusion, as real live
Democratic daily is tie greatest need
of the party in Missouri at this time.
With such a general feeling in every
part of the State, tie scheme of or
ganizing a stock company SHOULD be
comparatively easy of accomplish
ment, provided only that the promo
ton is in safe and competent hands,
as practically all Democrats would
doubtless be willing. even glad, to
subscribe for at least small amount
of stock. The Times has received a
letter from Col. Wofner, in which his
plans and ideas are briefly set forth,
which indicates that he has made
quite study of this matter and has
rather distinct idea of the enormity
of the proposition, for which, he esti-
mates, 100000 will be required. The
Times knows that it expresses the ear
nest wishes of many of its readers for
Col. Wolfner's complete success in
this excellent work. His idea is to
buy a paper already established and
convert it into stalwart and aggres-
sive party paper.
