THE SITUATION.
Ownership of the Fort Worth Dally
Papers.
Here is the newspaper bi'uation in
Fort Worth, as told by tho Mail:
Upon Saturday evening last tho
controlling interest of the Gazotte
was purchaiod from Mr- V. A. Huff
man by Messrs. B. B Paddook and
Caswell. At tho direotors meeting
of the Democrat Publishing
company held that night Mr. B.
13. Paddook was eluoted president,
Mr. CaBwell, vice-president nnd
Mr, W. Paddock Becrctury and
treasurer. Tho Gazcte continued
until Monday. Upon Monday W. L.
Malcnc and Mr. E. G. Sentcr pur
chased a majority of tho stock held by
Messrs. Paddook and Caswoll and an
other meeting oF tho direotors of tho
Democrat Publishing company was
held at whioh meeting the following
officers wero eleoted: W. L. Malonc,
presidont; E G. Sentcr, vioo-presi-dent;
W. Paddook, secretary and
treasurer. Tho new proprietors at
once took the editorial and managing
reins in hand. W. L. Malono is man
ager in tho business offioo and E. G
Sonter is managing editor.
This is tho statement ina nutsholl as
far as tho Gazette is concerned.
As soon as Mr. Sentor camo in
possession of his Gazette interests his
resignation as editor of the Miil and
a member of tho executive committeo
of the Mail Publishing company was
reoeived by tho secretary. At a
meeting last evoning of the Mail
Publishing company tho resignation
was aocopted. Mr. J W. Buchanan
was pleated president of tho company
and Mr. Hal D. Tracy was oleoted
secretary and treasurer. This is tho
situation in a nutsholl as far as tho
Mail'Vrned.
'f -Vail and'ihe C "own

stockholders in either corpora "are

of men. Notwithstanding some very
violent rumors tho Gazette is in no
way, shapo or complexion, practically
or theoretically or financially a part of
tho Mail or vice versa. Tho policy
of this paper will ho, as it has evor
been, aggressive, foarles?, just, with
no friends to coioh and no enemies to
