The article as it is now includes this quote:
"In 1888, Spreckles sold his newspaper to the Hawaiian Gazette Company. It in turn sold the newspaper in 1895 to Lorrin A. Thurston, a cabinet minister in the administration of David Kalakaua. Thurston would later become the architect of the overthrow of the monarchy and end the existence of the Kingdom of Hawaii."
Is the 1895 a typo? The next sentence says Thurston would "later become the architect of the overthrow of the monarchy..." The monarchy was overthrown in 1893, two years BEFORE this article says the newspaper was sold. Also, by 1895, Kalakaua had been dead for several years. Could someone clarify this?
Also, is the explanation of the Bayonet Constitution necessary? It doesn't really have anything to do with the Advertiser.

According to an article in the Honolulu Advertiser Walter M. Gibson bought the Pacific Commerical Advertiser in 1880: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/150/sesq1gibson This should be added somehow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.92.111 ( talk) 02:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
