A dispatch in tho Oregonian this -morning from Idaho reports the sale of the Domocrat to Hon. W. H. Horn ibrook, of Twin Falls, a member of the Idaho senate. At tho present time it is based on a contract tor the sale of a controling interest in tho paper, the sale to be consummated probably the 1st of May, by which time Mr. Horn ibrook expects to arrivo with his wife and child. They already have a resi dence rented for their home at Fifth and Montgomery streets. Mr. Hornbrook is an experienced newspaper man and will come here with high words from his follow citi zens tlioro. Dr. Pike, president of the Jelfersonian Club of Twin Falls writes: "You will find him gilt-edged in a bus iness way, a man who can be trusted implicitly, and he will handle the paper and business well and ably. We here are losing our best man" The di-patch Bays: The removnl o. Senator Hornibrook from the stute is admitted by party leaders to bo a blow to tho Democratic party, due to his prominence as one of the lenders and the fact that he had been able to keep harmony among the warring factions. Hornibrook was roc ognized bb a hard fighter, whoue per sistency resulted in the enactment of considerable legislation. He made a hard fight for the initiative, rofnr tndum and recall in the Senate of the Eleventh Lcgi'lature two vears ago, with the result that these ibsuea will be voted upon for adoption or rejection at the next regular election. Senator Hornibrook formerly resided in Oregon and Washington, where ho was engaged in the newspaperbusineBt. He came to Idaho four years ago and established tho Twin FallB Chronicle, at Twin FallB. It is now the only Demo cratic paper in tho state that has the Btrong recognition of the party. Party leaders have urged him to make the race for Congress and had he decided to remain in Idaho, he would either have become chairman or made the Congressioaal race.
