This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use.  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

PREFACE 

.  this  work  was  to  include 
troduction  a  fairly  comprehensive  history  of  the  pel 
and  newspapers  of  the  state.  The  bibliography  g 
yond  the  expected  size,  and  the  historical  material 
even  more  abundant;  consequently  the  introductl 
been  made  only  a  sketch,  and  is  to  be  regarded 
preliminary  to  a  more  thorough  treatment  of  the  s 
It  is  to  be  hoped,  however,  that  even  in  this  bri€ 
it  may  indicate  some  of  the  many  ways  in  whi 
ephemeral  stuff  of  newspapers  and  periodicals  is  an  i 
part  of  the  literature  and  history  of  the  common 
That  but  a  slight  amount  of  this  material  is  preserve* 
and  that  little  of  what  is  extant  is  accessible,  are  two! 
able  facts  to  be  derived  from  the  following  pages 
library  lists  may  prove  a  convenience  to  those  wh 
occasion  to  consult  files  of  early  newspapers.  If  the 
no  other  purpose,  however,  they  may  call  attention 
slight  amount  of  such  material  now  in  the  safe  kee] 
fireproof  library  buildings,  and  may  indirectly  help  to 
from  attics  and  storerooms  the  dwindling  legacy  that 
for  mice  and  flames. 

The  sources  of  the  bibliography  include  practici 
of  the  printed  county  histories  and  "biographical  al 
and  some  in  manuscript;  the  proceedings  of  state,  (

and  city  historical  societies,  histories  of  Illinois  and  of  towns; 
gazetteers,  eariy  books  of  travels,  memoirs,  city  directories, 
newspaper  directories  from  1856,  fourteen  hundred  indi- 
viduals, either  through  correspondence  or  through  inter- 
views, and  the  files  of  many  of  the  publications.  In  many 
instances  it  has  been  well  nigh,  and  in  some  quite,  impossible 
to  reconcile  conflicts  of  statement,  especially  when  no  files 
of  the  publication  concerned  could  be  found.  For  instance, 
the  desire  of  publishers  to  acquire  long  life  for  their  papers 
has  in  some  cases  caused  the  papers  to  accrete  age  simul- 
taneously at  both  ends  of  their  careers.  In  the  newspaper 
directories  for  1871  to  1876,  1868  is  given  as  the  year  in 
which  a  certain  paper  was  established.  By  i88o  this  date 
had  receded  to  1864,  and,  gaining  momentum,  by  1881  had 
gone  to  1861.  Sometimes  these  dates  are  changed  arbi- 
trarily; more  often,  though,  antiquity  is  acquired  by  fasten- 
ing paternity  upon  some  preccNiling  publication.  This 
phenomenon  has  been  a  source  of  confusion,  and  probably 
of  error.  Possibly  many  papers  are  linked  in  series  that  have 
had  no  other  than  a  chronological  relation. 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  ray  indebtedness  to  the  large 
number  of  persons  whom  I  cannot  mention  individually: 
editors,  former  editors,  librarians,  members  of  the  State 
Historical  Society,  and  others,  who  to  the  number  of  nearly 
fourteen  hundred  have  contributed  to  the  making  of  this 
compilation.  Special  acknowledgement  is  due  President 
Edmund  Janes  James,  of  the  University  of  Illinois;  Mrs. 
Jessie  Palmer  Weber,   Librarian  of  the  State  Historical

HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 


INTRODUCTION 


PRELIMINARY 

This  introduction  is  the  result  of  an  effort  to  si 
historical  background  for  the  disconnected  bibliograj 
material  which  forms  the  body  of  this  work.  It  is  fl 
tended  as  a  history  of  the  newspapers  and  periodic 
Illinois;  but,  as  one  of  our  county  historians  has  sai 
newspaper  lousiness  with  us  has  been  a  '*  halcyon  and 
erous  proceeding,"  and  some  outline  such  as  this  ti^ 
needed  to  find  the  halcyon  if  not  the  vociferous  in  tl 
history  of  our  newspapers  and  periodicals.  Especiall 
purposed  to  deal  with  the  beginnings  in  Illinois  joum 
and  to  a  less  extent  to  suggest  the  relation  of  the  news 
to  the  manifold  successive  elements  that  have  entered 
making  of  the  state  —  population,  transportation,  com 
cation,  politics,  education,  and  other  materials  and  mt 
of  economic  and  social  development;  and  to  record 
important  tendencies  and  certain  isolated  facts  nol 
conveniently  accessible  elsewhere.  i 

The  conditions  under  which  the  first  Illinois  news 
was  established,  in  1S14,  included  many  disadvan 
which  made  any  other  than  a  meager  and  tenuous  subsii 
for  it  impossible.  The  population  was  small  and  1 
distributed ;  the  means  of  communication  were  merely 
mentary  and  frequently  inoperative;  and  both  mone 
labor  were  exceedingly  scarce.  That  a  newspapei 
started  as  early  as  1814  was  due  not  so  much  to  busin 
to  political  reasons:  there  was  United  States  and  terri

printing  to  be  done;  and  the  politicians  of  the  territory, 
including  a  large  proportion  of  the  male  population,  were 
yearning  toward  statehood. 

The  population  of  the  territory  of  Illinois  had  increased 
slowly  until  i8i,^,  but  with  the  cessation  of  Indian  raids  after 
the  close  of  the  war  of  1812,  and  the  passage  of  the  pre- 
emption act  of  18 1 3,  a  new  epoch  in  immigration  began.' 
A  land  office  was  opened  in  Kaskaskia  in  1814,  and  the  influx 
of  permanent  settlers  was  much  increased.  The  total  popu- 
lation at  that  time  may  have  been  well  toward  twenty  thou- 
sand, but  it  was  thinly  distributed.  The  village  and  vicinity 
of  Kaskaskia,  which  in  1815  contained  between  seven  hun- 
dred and  one  thousand  persons,  was  least  sparsely  settled.' 
Gallatin,  with  Shawneetown  as  its  chief  village,  was  the  most 
populous  county  on  the  cast  side  of  the  territory.  As  late 
as  1818  it  contained  but  thirty-two  hundred  persons." 
Shawneetown,  where  the  second  paper  in  the  state  was 
established,  numbered  between  thirty  and  forty  families.* 

A  fact  that  doubtless  tended  to  hinder  the  beginning  of 
newspapers  in  Illinois  was  the  presence,  on  two  sides  of  the 
populated  area,  of  larger  centers  of  population  than  any  in 
Illinois:  Vincennes  on  the  east,  and  St.  Louis  on  the  west. 
In  the  first  a  newspaper  had  been  established  a  full  decade 
before  the  Illinois  Herald  was  issued  —  so  well  established 
that  it  is  still  published ;  in  the  second  the  Missouri  Gazette 
began,  in  1808^  a  career  which  it  has  continued,  under  various 
names,  to  the  present.  Other  papers  helped  to  supply  the 
needs  of  the  Illinois  settlers.     In  1816  the  citizens  of  Shaw-

neetown  gave  notice  through  the  papers  of  Kaskj 
Frankfort  (Kentucky),  and  Nashville  (Tennessee),  that 
would  apply  to  the  legislature  of  Illinois  for  the  establishni! 
of  a  bank  at  that  place.'  These  papers,  supported  by  ; 
population  of  to%vns  larger  than  any  in  the  new  territ^ 
doubtless  delayed  both  the  beginning  and  the  spread 
newspapers  in  Illinois.  J 

Means  of  communication  were  meager,  primitive,  t 
did  not  function  with  either  despatch  or  regularity.  1 
earliest  settlements  were  naturally  on  the  waterway| 
the  Wabash,  Ohio,  Mississippi,  and  Kaskaskia  rivers.  ] 
roads  or  mail  routes  were  opened  until  1805.  The  first  rt 
route  was  established  in  that  year  from  Vincennes  to  Ca 
kia;*  the  second  from  Vincennes  to  Shawneetown  in  18 
In  1810  routes  were  established  to  St.  Louis  by  way  of  K 
kaskia,  Prairie  du  Rocher,  and  Cahokia;  from  Kaskas 
to  Cape  Girarrleau,  by  way  nf  St.  Genevieve;  from 
ville  to  Shavimeetown ;  and  in  1814  to  Johnson  Court 
(now  Vienna).  Over  these  routes  mail  was  carried  rej 
once  or  twice  a  week,  except  in  bad  weather,  or  when 
roads  were  impassable.'  But  it  will  appear  later  that  e^ 
when  the  mail  was  regularly  carried,  the  whole  postal  syst 
was  so  bad  that  regularity  and  promptness  in  the  arrivaJ 
expected  mail  were  never  assured. 

The  transportation  of  freight  su6fered  even  more  seri< 
vicissitudes  than  the  distribution  of  the  mail,  and  the  pi 
pective  publisher  of  the  first  newspaper  may  well  have 
himself  at  some  disadvantage  in  being  as  remote  from  I 
source  of  his  supply  of  paper  and  equipment  as  was  Kask

kia  from  Cincinnati  or  Frankfort.  All  goods  had  to  be 
carried  down  the  Ohio  on  flatboats,  and  then  poled  up  the 
Mississippi,  or  hauled  overland  by  wagon.  The  rivers  were 
frequently  too  high  or  too  low  for  ease  of  navigation^  and  the 
roads  frequently  offered  insuperable  difficulties. 

Such  were  some  of  the  conditions  in  Illinois  in  1814,  when 
the  first  newspaper  was  established.  Other  circumstances 
and  the  changes  that  came  with  the  growth  of  population  will 
appear  in  the  account  of  the  papers  of  the  first  decade  and 
later. 

THE  FIRST  DECADE 

The  first  period  in  the  history  of  newspapers  in  Illinois, 
which  begins  with  the  founding  of  the  Illinois  Herald  in  1814, 
closes  naturally  and  conveniently  with  the  momentous  con- 
vention election  held  in  August,  1824.  In  the  first  period 
of  ten  years  five  separate  papers  were  established,  and  all 
continued  until  the  election. 

1.  Illinois  Herald,  established  at  Kaskaskia  in  1814;  re- 

named Westerfi  Intelligencer  in  1816;  renamed  lUinms 
Inklligen^er  in  1818;  followed  the  state  capital  to 
Vandalia  in  1820. 

2.  Illinois  Emigrant,  established  in  Shawneetown  in  1818; 

renamed  Illinois  Gazette  in  1819. 

3.  Edwardsville  Spectator,  established  at  Edwardsville  in 

1819. 

4.  Star  of  the  Wesl^  established  at  Edwardsville  in  1822; 

renamed  Illinois  Republican  in  1823;  discontinued 
at  the  time  of  the  election  in  1824. 

5.  Republican  Advocate,  established  at  Kaskaskia  early  in 

1823;  renamed  Kaskaskia -Re/wWicon  in  1824;  con- 
tinued until  1825;  revived  early  in  1826  as  Illinois 
Reporter,  and  continued  for  about  a  year. 


INTRODUCTION 


XXIX 


It  appears  from  this  list  that  Illinois  had  but  one  terri- 
torial newspaper,  which  bore  at  successive  times  three  various 
names.  With  the  coming  of  statehood  in  1818,  a  rival  party, 
and  therefore  a  rival  newspaper,  was  inevitable.  As  early 
as  the  twenty-ninth  number  of  this  second  paper,  dated 
January  9, 1819,  the  Emigrant  indicated  that  two  newspapers, 
although  they  were  as  far  apart  as  the  limits  fixed  by  nature 
and  population  would  i>crmit,  could  not  exist  pacifically  in 
Illinois. 

The  coming  of  the  Illinois  Emigrant  indicated  no  shifting 
of  the  population;  more  significant  was  the  advent  of  the 
Edwardsville  Spectator  in  1819.  By  this  year  the  popula- 
tion of  Madison  County  had  increased  to  a  number  between 
four  thousand  and  fifty-five  hundred;  EdwardsWlle,  the 
county  town,  contained  sixty  or  seventy  houses,  a  courthouse, 
a  jail,  a  bank,  and  a  land-office.  Alton,  but  a  few  miles 
away,  had  one  hundred  houses.'  The  new  capital  on  the 
upper  Kaskaskia  was  already  projected  by  land  speculators. 
In  the  next  year  the  seat  of  government  was  moved,  and  with 
it  the  Illinois  Intelligencer,  to  Vandalia.  The  other  papers 
of  the  period  were  significant  only  as  parties  to  the  conven- 
tion struggle. 

Throughout  this  period  from  1814  to  1824  the  country 
was  developed  rapidly  to  the  northward.  The  population 
had  grown  by  1820  to  55,21 1.*  In  1814  there  were  nine 
post-offices  in  the  territory,  and  three  hundred  and  eighty- 
eight  miles  of  post-roads.^*     From  that  time  both  post-offices

and  post-roads  increased  greatly."  By  1819  a  road  was 
opened  from  ShawTiectown,  by  way  of  Carmi  to  Albion,  in 
Edwards  County.  In  February,  182 1 ,  the  legislature  author- 
ized the  building  of  a  turnpike  road  from  the  Mississippi 
opposite  St.  Louis,  across  the  American  Bottom  to  the  bluffs. 
Edwardsville,  Springfield,  and  Peoria  were  connected  by  a 
mail  route  in  1822;  in  the  same  year  a  road  and  a  mail  route 
were  established  between  Vandalia  and  Springfield,  over 
which  the  State  Capital  was  soon  to  continue  its  migration 
to  the  northward,"  In  the  same  year  also,  a  direct  path 
was  established  from  Iroquois  Post  (now  Iroquois)  to  Dan- 
ville. In  1824  this  path  was  extended  northward  to  Chicago, 
and  southwest  from  Danville  for  one  hundred  and  fifty  miles," 
but  no  mail  was  carried  over  any  part  of  this  route  until 
eight  years  later.  Springfield  was  the  northern  terminus  of 
the  mail  route  early  in  1823,  and  the  next  year  Sangamon 
County  was  still  almost  entirely  without  ferries,  bridges,  or 
roads.  Over  most  of  these  routes  mail  was  carried  once  a 
week. 

River  transportation  had  developed  rapidly  through  the 
introduction  of  the  steamboat.  The  Orleans  had  gone  down 
the  Ohio  from  Pittsburg  in  181 1,  the  Washington  in  1817. 
In  181 7  the  first  steamboat  to  touch  a  port  on  the  upper 
Mississippi  reached  St.  Louis;  Galena  saw  its  first  steamboat 
in  1822.  This  was  the  field,  and  these  were  the  means  of 
communication  in  which  and  by  which  the  newspapers  of 


"  In  1831  there  were  fifty-seven  post-offices,  but  in  1833  mnd  1835  only  fifty 
three.  Until  ifter  the  first  decade,  Shawneelown  did  more  postal  Im&incss  rhan 
any  other  tows  in  Illinois,  and  in  iSi'j  it  was  the  only  poat-office  in  the  state  in 
which  a  clerk  was  employed.  In  tSai  it  did  twice  as  much  as  Edwardsville,  and 
four  times  as  much  as  KJislLaskia.  See  U.  S.  Official  Rtgitiert  or  *'Blu€  Books,"

the  first  decade  served  and  were  sen'ed.     But  the  del 
the  mail  service  and  in  the  delivery  of  freight  were  so  frei 
and  so  prolonged  as  to  be  to-day  almost  incredible. 
Illinois  Emigrant  Issued  no  number  between  June  23 
August  24,  1819,  because  paper  shipped  down  the  Oh: 
June  13th  was  delayed  by  low  water  and  did  not  a 
until  more  than  two  months  later.     If  this  delay  was 
fered  by  a  paper  nearest  tlic  source  of  supply  and  dii 
on  the  Ohio,  more  extended  gaps  might  well  be  exp] 
in  the  other  earJy  files.     On  June  21,   1823,  the  /flj 
Gazette  received  through  the  post  a  New  York  Special 
November  22,  1822,  a  Richmond  Enquirer  of  Deceml 
1822,  and  a  Frankfort  Commentator  of  January  2^ 
"Such  is  the  wretched  state  of  the  mails  west  of  the  n: 
tains,  and  complaints  and  remonstrances  seem  unavl 
to  improve  it,"  remarked  the  editor.     On  this  mail  se 
the  early  western  papers  depended  for  their  news  of  the 
side  world.     Hall,  in  the  lllin&is  Gazette^  pictures  the, 
ation  in  1821  thus:  ^ 

"After  a  lapse  of  several  weeks  (three  months,  t 
exact)  we  are  now  enabled  to  resume  the  publication  0

late  interruption)  was  shipped  for  us  early  last  fall,  on  I

ably  to  the  forgetfulness  of  the  master,  it  was  carried

our  means  so  inadequate  to  guard  against  these  occas

of  which  we  stand  in  the  most  pressing  need,  down  the  cur- 
rent beyond  our  reach.  And  high  winds,  and  warm  and 
cold  weather,  equally  delight  to  make  us  their  sport.  But 
we  assure  our  subscribers  that  however  much  they  may  regret 
missing  a  paper  for  a  week,  they  cannot  regret  it  more  than 
we;  for,  after  all,  we  are  the  only  losers."  More  than  five 
years  had  been  required  to  complete  four  volumes. 

This  uncertainty,  especially  in  the  freight  service,  lasted 
until  long  afterward.  "You  are  doubtless  waiting  with 
some  degree  of  impatience,"  wrote  Hooper  Warren  to  Ninian 
Edwards  from  Galena,  July  6,  1829,  "for  the  appearance 
of  the  Galena  Advertiser.  After  waiting  more  than  three 
weeks  after  my  arrival,  the  materials  from  Springfield 
arrived  from  St.  Louis.  How  they  got  there  I  have  never 
learned.  .  .  .  WTicn  we  were  elated  with  the  certainty  of 
getting  out  the  paper  immediately,  we  were  astonished  to  find 
that  the  keg  of  ink  had  been  left  behind!  I  put  it  into  the 
wagon  myself  at  Springfield  with  the  other  materials  sent  to 
Beardstown  on  the  Illinois.  Dr.  Philleo  started  down  the 
river  immediately,  which  was  three  weeks  ago  last  Saturday, 
to  look  for  it.  We  heard  from  liim  by  letter  at  the  Lower 
Rapids  on  the  20th  ult.,  at  which  time  he  had  not  found  it, 
and  was  about  to  start  down  to  St.  Louis.  We  expect  him 
by  the  next  boat  or  stage."  "  In  the  next  year,  publication 
of  the  Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  at  Vandalia,  the  state 
capital,  was  considerably  delayed  by  the  failure  of  paper  to 
arrive,  and  editor  Hall  gave  this  difliculty  in  tlie  matter  of 
transportation  as  one  reason  for  removing  the  publication  to 
Cincinnati.  "We  feel  no  inconsiderable  regret,"  wrote  the 
editor  of  the  Illinois  State  Gazette  and  Jacksonxnlle  News  on

January  17,   1835,  "at  being  compelled  to  an  occasic 
suspension  of  our  publication  (o\\ing  to  a  want  of  paj 
but  the  regret  is  lessened  somewhat  by  the  fact  that 
paper  in  the  state,  with  perhaps  a  single  exception,  has- 
fered  like  disappointments."    The  A^ews  had  then  sul 
a  suspension  of  three  weeks. 

The  general  character  of  the  newspapers  of  the  per 
was  political,  the  tone  frequently  controversial,  but  hig 
moral  and  often  religious.  As  newspapers  they  would  to-( 
be  regarded,  even  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  cour 
weekly,  as  sad  efforts.  Of  political  news,  either  state 
national,  there  was  no  lack,  and  the  editors  sometii 
showed  considerable  enterprise  in  securing  h;  but  of  Ic 
news  in  the  present  sense  there  was  very  little.  Occasion^ 
some  space  was  given  to  an  account  of  an  unusual  mur 
in  the  vicinity,  or  an  extraordinary  rise  or  fall  of  the  n\ 
but  usually  the  remoteness  of  the  event  seemed  to  incre 
Its  importance,  and  one  finds  more  often  an  account  of 
hop  yield  in  Silesia  than  of  the  wheat  crop  in  Illinois,  j 
was  easier  to  reset  items  from  the  eastern  papers,  when  tl 
arrived,  than  to  gather  facts  and  compose  original  matte 
This  was  especially  true  in  the  frequent  periods  when 
politician  who  ran  the  paper  was  absent,  and  the  work  1 
left  to  the  itinerant  and  bibulous  printer.  | 

The  editorial  occupied  a  variable,  but  on  the  whole,' 
important  place.  These  first  five  papers  had  pretty  defii 
purposes,  forwarded  or  achieved  largely  by  the  direct  apf 
of  the  editorial,  which,  not  infrequently  in  "parlous  timi

of  political  conflict,  filled  one  of  the  four  small  pages,  and 
in  a  few  instances  overran  even  that  ample  room.  Positive 
or  controversial  opinion  was  often  expressed  over  an  obvious 
but  sufficient  nam  de  plume,  though  quite  as  often  the  name 
of  the  editor  was  in  itself  a  sufficient  disguise  for  the  individual 
or  the  interest  behind  the  paper.  Thus  we  find  Sidney 
Breese  writing  to  Governor  Edwards:  "If  I  continue  en- 
gaged in  politics,  I  am  determined  to  make  Gov.  Reynolds 
choose  between  Smith  and  myself,  in  other  words  between 
the  Crisis  and  the  Democrat.  Do  give  your  views  .  .  . 
editorially,  thro'  me,  in  the  Democrat"  "  Yet  R.  K.  Flem- 
ing was  nominally  editor,  the  paper  was  referred  to  by  War- 
ren in  the  Galena  Advertiser  as  "Fleming's  paper,"  and  not 
until  almost  a  year  later  did  suspicion  appear  in  print  that 
Breese  was  the  actual  editor.  John  McLean,  in  the  lUinms 
Gazette  for  July  29,  1820,  called  Ninian  Edwards  the  "actual 
editor  of  the  Edwardsville  Spectator^"  nominally,  and  in  fact, 
edited  by  Hooper  Warren;  and  we  find  abundant  evidence 
in  Warren's  letters  to  Edwards''  that  in  editing  his  papers 
Sangamo  Spectator  and  Galena  Advertiser,  Warren  was  con- 
tinually under  the  influence  of  Edwards.  Yet  Warren  was 
one  of  the  strongest  and  most  independent  of  the  early 
editors,  of  quite  a  different  sort  from  Fleming,  and  the  yoke 
of  obligation  was  burdensome  to  him." 

While  in  such  cases  the  nominal  editor  was  the  spokes- 
man for  some  one  else,  there  were  other  cases  in  which 
editorial  utterances  were  disguised  by  means  of  an  assumed 
name.  Signed  contributions  occupied  a  large  and  important 
place  in  the  early  papers,  as  they  have  done,  and  still  do,  in

Much  of  the  space  afforded  by  the  lack  of  news  was  filled 
with  "literature."  "Want  of  room  alone/'  explains  one  of 
the  earliest  editors,"  "has  prevented  us  from  fulfilling  an 
intention  which  we  had  early  formed,  of  devoting  a  portion 
of  our  columns  to  literature.  Our  own  resources  at  this 
insulated  spot,  where  we  can  calculate  on  but  little  assistance 
and  where  we  seldom  receive  new  books,  must  of  course  be 
small;  but  the  columns  of  many  of  the  Eastern  papers  are 
tastefully  variegated  with  those  lighter  productions  which 
delight  the  fancy,  and  on  them  we  may  sometimes  draw,  for 
the  amusement  of  our  readers.  But  among  our  friends  and 
neighbors  there  are,  no  doubt,  many  who  might  contribute 
something  towards  the  amusement  and  instruction  of  others." 
And  indeed,  to  the  many  cultural  e.xcerpts  from  the  taste- 
fully variegated  columns  were  added  stories,  poems,  and 
essays  by  friends  and  neighbors.  John  Russell,  Morris 
Birkbeck,  and  James  Hall  wrote  often  for  those  earliest 
papers,  and  made  of  them  sources  not  to  be  overlooked  by 
those  who  would  know  the  early  agriculture,  horticulture, 
society,  education,  and  politics,  as  well  as  literature  of  Illinois. 
Out  of  the  somewhat  haphazard  occasional  use  of  this  kind 
of  material  in  the  first  papers  there  grew  a  well  established 
custom  of  devoting  certain  columns  to  such  matter,  a  custom 
that  has  persisted  even  to  the  present  in  some  localities. 
These  earlier  productions,  however  crude,  had  individuality, 
vigor,  and  genuineness  not  to  be  found  in  the  sapless  tabloid 
material  now  supplied  in  plates  at  a  dollar  and  a  quarter  a 
page.

"ll^TRODUCTION 


The  business  of  publishing  a  newspaper  in  the  early  d 
was  poor  enough  at  best,  and  the  publisher  had  a  hard  str 
gle  to  make  a  living.  The  initial  cost  of  a  plant  was  sna 
and  the  expense  of  maintenance  was  low,  but  the  sources 
income  were  correspondingly  meager,  iiad  there  been 
public  printing  and  no  politicians  who  felt  the  need 
"organs,"  probably  no  early  paper  could  have  lived  a  ye 
for  the  subscribers  were  few  and  the  advertisements  yield 
little  income.  * 

The  first  cost  of  establishing  a  plant  seems  to  have  vari 
from  four  hundred  to  a  thousand  dollars,  according  to  t 
amount  of  type  the  publisher  felt  necessary.  The  cost 
maintenance  was  small.  In  many  instances  one  man  c 
all  the  work:  seldom  were  more  than  two  employed  on  o 
paper.  Usually,  it  seemsj  a  lawyer  or  other  ambitious  pers 
wishing  to  start  a  paper  found  a  printer,  furnished  the  pla: 
editorials,  and  some  of  the  news,  and  left  the  printer  to  soli 
advertising,  gather  ''items,"  make  selections  of  news  a: 
"elegant  miscellany"  from  the  exchanges,  set  type,  a 
"run  off"  and  deliver  the  paper. 

Public  printing  was  a  boon  to  the  three  earliest  pape 
and  no  doubt  did  much  to  prolong  their  careers  beyond  t 
average  length.  This  was  especially  true  of  the  first  a 
the  most  successful,  which  was  established  at  an  opportu 
time.  There  was  a  great  and  growing  territory  rapic 
being  settled  by  ambitious  pioneers;  there  was  an  increasi 
body  of  laws,  with  no  newspaper  in  which  to  print  thei 
there  was  the  United  States  printing  patronage  to  be  secun 
as  well  as  the  official  job-work.  A  law  in  force  May  2 1,  i8] 
declared  that  "whereas,  it  is  provided  .  .  .  that  advertL 
mcnts  should  be  inserted  in  some  public  newspaper  pu 
lished  in  the  territory  .    .    .    ;  and  whereas,  there  is  at  tl

time  no  newspaper  printed  in  this  territory:"  "  such  adver- 
tisements should  be  inserted  in  "some  of  the  newspapers 
published  in  the  Louisiana  Territory."  The  act  was  to 
remain  in  force  "until  a  newspaper  is  established  and  pub- 
lished in  this  territory  and  no  longer."  " 

The  privilege  of  printing  the  United  States  laws  was  of 
relatively  great  value  and  was  eagerly  sought.  An  act  to 
authorize  the  publication  of  the  laws  in  two  newspapers  in 
each  territory  was  passed  but  three  or  four  months  after  the 
first  paper  in  Illinois  was  established."  In  1818  the  number 
of  papers  to  be  favored  was  increased  to  three,  and  the 
matter  to  be  published  was  made  to  include  not  only  the 
laws,  but  resolutions,  public  treaties,  and  amendments  to 
the  constitution."  By  this  act  the  compensation  was  fixed 
at  tile  rate  of  one  dollar  for  each  printed  page  of  the  pam- 
phlet in  which  the  copy  was  furnished,  a  page  not  far  from 
the  size  of  standard  law  books  to-day. 

The  minimum  number  of  subscribers  on  which  a  paper 
could  be  run  seems  to  have  been  fixed  by  Hooper  Warren 
when  he  wrote  to  Ninian  Edwards  in  1828  that  the  Sangamo 
Spectator  had  but  170  subscribers,  of  which  probably  a  third 
would  withdraw  when  the  year  was  up,  and  that  nothing

could  sustain  the  paper  but  new  type  and  its  enlargement 
Four  hundred  subscribers  were  considered  a  satisfactc 
number,  although  one  finds  vain  boasting  here  and  thf 
that  with  proper  help  from  all  friends  this  or  that  pa 
could  increase  its  list  to  a  thousand. 

Advertisements  were  few,  seldom  filling  one-fourth 
the  paper,  and  the  rates  were  low.  Of  these  early  adv< 
tisemcnts,  those  of  taverns,  whiskey,  town-sites,  and  ru 
away  negroes  arc  found  most  frequently.  The  last  named 
found  in  surprising  numbers,  not  only  in  the  first  decade,  t 
on  down  to  the  Civil  War,  many  bearing  the  little  woodti 
of  a  negro  with  his  bundle  which  so  impressed  Miss  Mi 
tineau,  and  nearly  all  oflfering  a  reward  of  one  cent  for  t 
fugitive's  return.  Prospectuses  of  new  papers,  and  advi 
tisements  of  eastern,  especially  Washington,  papers  we 
numerous.  These,  together  with  notices  of  Philadelph 
New  York,  and  Boston  magazines  grew  in  frequency  un 
the  middle  of  the  century,  when  the  use  of  the  telegrai 
began  to  shift  the  whole  newspaper  situation.  I 

Subscribers  and  advertisers  would  have  been  of  mc 
value  to  the  struggling  publishers  if  they  had  paid,  but  ve 
often  they  didn't  pay.  In  the  case  of  nearly  all  early  papt 
the  subscription  price  if  paid  in  advance  was  a  dollar  low 
than  if  paid  at  the  end  of  the  year,  but  from  the  freque 
appeals  for  money  on  account,  one  surmises  that  the  su 
scribers  found  a  way  to  save  more  than  the  one  dollar.  Th 
were  appealed  to  in  prose  and  in  verse,  they  were  cajok 
praised,  lectured,  and  denounced.  Money  was  wretched 
scarce,  but  almost  any  commodity  was  acceptable.  A  fi

ventory  of  the  daily  needs  of  the  pioneer.  The  publishers 
of  the  lUin&is  Gazette  announced  that  they  would  receive 
in  pa3ancnt  of  subscriptions^  clean  linen  and  cotton  rags; 
in  payment  for  subscriptions  and  advertisements,  bacon, 
tallow,  beeswax,  and  feathers.  Later,  hides,  deerskins, 
and  pork  were  also  acceptable.  Had  there  been  no  laws  to 
be  printed  and  no  politicians  to  have  organs,  however,  even 
prompt  payment  of  subscription  and  advertising  accounts 
would  hardly  have  kept  tlie  papers  alive,  or  have  brought 
about  the  somewhat  surprising  fact  that  in  the  first  decade 
no  Illinois  paper  died  through  lack  of  support. 

The  climax  of  this  6rst  period  was  reached  in  the  con- 
vention campaign  which  began  in  February,  1823,  and  ended 
on  the  first  Monday  in  August,  1824.  The  newspapers  had 
a  more  important  place  in  that  contest  than  in  any  other 
important  political  event  in  Illinois.  They  were  owned  or 
controlled  by  leaders  in  the  fray,  and  in  the  columns  of  the 
few  that  arc  left  one  can  follow  the  shifts  of  o\vnership  and 
editorship,  the  shading  off  or  brightening  up  of  this  or  that 
aspect  of  the  main  question  or  of  contributory  questions, 
can  catch  the  tense  earnestness  of  spirit  with  which  the  oppo- 
nents struggled,  and  get  much  of  the  violence  of  invective 
and  abuse  which  one  finds  nowadays  nowhere  except  in  a 
municipal  campaign. 

From  the  beginning  until  well  on  in  1823  the  papers  were 
divided  mainly  on  local  issues  and  on  men.  The  slavery 
question  was  already  looming,  but  not  large,  though  there 
had  been  more  or  less  discontent  ever  since  the  passage  of 
the  Missouri  Compromise,  and  the  parties  to  the  coming 
struggle   were   becoming  defined.     "The   anti-convention

papers  to  oppose  the  convention;  one  at  Shawneetown, 
edited  by  Henry  Eddy;  one  at  Edwardsville,  edited  by 
Hooper  Warren,  with  Gov.  Coles,  Thomas  Lippincott, 
George  Churchill,  and  Judge  Lockwood,  for  its  principal 
contributors;  and  finally,  one  at  Vandalia,  edited  by  DaWd 
Blackwell,  the  Secretary  of  State.  The  slave  party  had 
established  a  newspaper  at  Kaskaskia,  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Kane  and  Chief  Justice  Reynolds;  and  one  at  Ed- 
wardsville edited  by  Judge  Smith;  and  both  parties  pre- 
pared to  appeal  to  the  interests,  the  passions,  and  the  intelli- 
gence of  the  people.  The  contest  was  mixed  up  with  much 
personal  abuse;  and  now  was  poured  forth  a  perfect  lava 
of  detraction,  which,  if  it  were  not  for  the  knowledge  of  the 
people  that  such  matters  are  generally  false  or  greatly  exag- 
gerated, would  have  overwhelmed  and  consumed  all  men's 
reputations  .  .  .  The  whole  people,  for  the  space  of 
eighteen  months,  did  scarcely  an>1hing  but  read  newspapers, 
handbills  and  pamphlets,  quarrel,  argue,  and  wrangle  with 
each  other."  It  is  a  source  of  wonder  that  long  after  these 
events  had  passed  Governor  Ford  could  record  that  but  one 
duel  had  been  fought  in  Illinois." 

The  Edwardsville  Spectator  was  the  first  paper  in  the 
state  to  come  out  against  slavery'  in  Illinois,  and  to  oppose 
all  measures  and  men  that  seemed  to  favor  a  change 
in  the  direction  of  slaver)'.  The  paper  was  probably  con- 
trolled by  Ninian  Edwards;  it  was  the  mouthpiece  of  a 
coterie  of  strong  men,  and  under  Hooper  Warren's  editorship 
it  pursued  a  steady  and  consistent  poHcy  that  made  it  the 
most  influential  paper  in  the  state.  Until  early  in  1824  it 
was  alone  in  its  opposition  to  any  encroachments  of  slavery 
interests.    Other  papers  were  less  stable,  shifted  policies,  and

until  late  in  the  campaign  did  not  assume  the  positions 
which  they  were  in  at  the  close." 

The  Illinois  Gazette  favored  the  convention,  but  was  so 
near  the  fence,  and  gave  space  to  such  free  discussion  of  both 
sides,  that  writers  on  this  bit  of  Illinois  history  have  given 
accounts  of  its  position  in  direct  conflict  with  each  other. 
A  somewhat  extended  statement  of  the  paper's  position  is 
given  here  in  an  effort  to  settle  the  question.  Governor  Kord 
has  said  that  the  Gazette  was  against  the  convention;  Gov- 
ernor Coles,  that  it  was  for  it."  These  t^\'o  authorities  have 
been  the  source  of  endless  conflicting  statements,  and  other 
contemporary  writers,  like  Hooper  Warren  and  George 
Flower,  have  contributed.  In  his  History  of  the  English 
Settlement  in  Edwards  County,  Flower  asserts,  and  offers 
substantial  proof,  that  the  paper  was  pro-convention,  while 
the  editor,  E.  B.  Washbume,  furnishes  the  information  in 
a  foot-note,  that  Eddy,  editor  of  the  Gazette^  was  against 
the  convention. 

Henry  Eddy  and  A.  W.  Kimmel  conducted  the  Gazette 
until  May  22,  1820,  when  their  partnership  was  dissolved 
and  James  Hall  became  Eddy's  partner  and  the  editor. 
Hall  at  once  acknowledged  his  ignorance  of  Illinois  politics 
and  chose  a  neutral  course  for  his  paper.  This  course  he 
reaffirmed,  when,  in  printing  a  letter  from  Daniel  P.  Cook

wish  it  to  be  distinctly  understood  that  we  have  not  forsaken 
the  neutral  ground  which  we  have  thought  proper  to  assume 
with  regard  to  the  ensuing  election.  Our  colunins  are  open 
to  all  communications  temperately  written,  to  which  the 
authors  place  their  names,  or  for  which  they  are  willing  to 
be  accountable.  This  is  the  only  course  which,  situated  as 
we  are,  completely  in  the  dark  with  regard  to  the  state  of 
parties,  and  the  merits  of  candidates,  we  could  with  any 
degree  of  propriety  pursue."  This  position  Hall  held  con- 
sistently for  nearly  two  years,  although  he  was  suspected  of 
sympathy  \Wth  the  advocates  of  slavery  extension.  Hooper 
Warren  accused  him  of  such  sympathy  in  1820  because  of  an 
editorial  in  which  Hall  suggested  a  disparity  between  Illinois 
and  the  states  of  Kentucky  and  Missouri,  caused  by  the 
great  advantage  which  the  last  two  had  over  the  first  from 
the  privilege  of  holding  slaves.  Hall  denied  that  what  he 
said  referred  in  any  way  to  the  political  situation  in  Illinois, 
or  that  it  was  meant,  as  Warren  charged,  to  favor  the  election 
of  E.  K.  Kane."'  Two  weeks  later,"  in  printing  a  letter 
from  Morris  Birkbcck  who  uttered  a  word  of  warning  to  his 
fellow  citizens  lest  they  elect  pro  slavery  oflicials,  Hall  de- 
plored the  fact  that  the  question  of  slavery  should  be  brought 
up.  "From  this  slate,"  he  said,  "it  [slavery]  is  excluded; 
it  cannot  now  be  introduced;  and  were  an  attempt  to  be 
made  for  that  purpose  we  should  be  among  the  first  to  oppose 
so  material  a  change  in  our  constitution."  A  change  of 
attitude  is  hardly  concealed  in  the  following,  however: 
April  6,  1822,  a  communication  appeared  announcing  that 
the  subject  of  the  introduction  of  slaves  into  Illinois  was  in 
agitation  in  Union  and  Jackson  counties.     "Great  exer-

tions,"  said  the  editor,  ''will,  in  al!  probability,  be  used  to 
procure  a  call  for  a  convention  to  reconsider  the  important 
provision,  in  our  constitution,  against  slavery.  .  .  .  Good 
cause  must  be  shown  before  the  people  will  consent  to  a 
proposition  so  pointedly  opposed  to  their  former  sentiments. 
Let  those  who  advocate  the  measure  exhibit  their  manifesto, 
that  the  people  'may  the  better  judge.'  Our  Gazette  is  at  the 
service  of  all  who  choose  to  make  it  the  medium  of  temperate 
discussion,  on  this  or  any  other  subject,  except  such  as  in- 
volve the  deadly  rancour  of  political  pariies  and  partisans, 
or  the  more  baneful  and  unforgiving  hate  of  theological 
dogma.  At  present  we  shall  take  no  part  in  the  slave 
question,  reserving  the  right  to  enter  the  lists  at  a  future 
opportunity,  should  we  so  determine." 

SL\  months  later  Hall  became  involved  in  an  acrimonious 
political  dispute  with  Daniel  P.  Cook,  who  was  a  close 
political  friend  of  Eddy,  and  a  schism  arose  which  resulted 
in  the  dissolution  of  the  partnership  of  Hall  and  Eddy  in 
November.  No  matter  touching  on  slavery  appeared  until 
March,  when  an  account  of  a  meeting  held  at  Jonesboro 
told  that  Alexander  P.  Field  introduced  a  resolution  which 
proposed  an  cfTort  to  elect  members  of  the  legislature  who 
would  recommend  a  convention  for  altering  and  amending 
the  constitution.  There  was  no  editorial  comment,  and  no 
mention  of  slavery.  On  March  8,  Eddy  strongly  repro- 
bated the  seating  of  Shaw,  but,  unlike  Berry,  made  no 
reference  to  slavery.  Berry's  "Extraordinary  Legislative 
Proceedings*'"  was  reprinle<l  from  the  Illinois  Intelligencer 
without  criticism.  Erom  March,  1823,  until  August,  1824, 
the  columns  of  the  GazeUf  were  crowded  with  communica- 
tions on  the  convention  and  the  slavery  questions.     In  that

period  Birkbeck^s  Jonathan  Freeman  letters  were  printed 
and  other  articles  on  the  same  side.  No  one  of  these  was 
left  unanswered  by  the  opponents,  but  the  paper  kept  almost 
clear  of  the  controversy,  only  once  venturing  to  express  the 
prevailing  opinion  of  that  part  of  the  state.  In  the  following 
editorial,  printed  June  14,  1823,  the  Gazette^  according  to 
George  Flower,  "showed  the  cloven  hoof". 

"The  vote  of  the  last  legislature,  recommending  the  case 
of  a  new  convention,  seems  to  have  produced  a  good  deal  of 
excitement  in  the  western  part  of  the  state,  and  to  have  called 
forth  already  some  pretty  warm  discussion.  In  this  quarter, 
as  yet,  we  have  heard  but  little  said  on  the  subject,  owing 
probably  to  the  great  degree  of  unanimity  which  prevails  in 
favor  of  the  measure.  The  people  in  this  part  of  the  state 
(in  this  and  adjoining  counties  particularly)  have  too  great 
an  interest  at  stake  in  keeping  up  the  manufacture  of  salt 
at  the  saline,  to  be  easily  diverted  from  the  course  they  intend 
to  pursue  by  making  the  question  turn  upon  the  propriety 
or  impropriety  of  introducing  negro  slaver>'.  They  aie 
persuaded  that  unless  the  time  can  be  enlarged,  during  which 
the  slaves  of  the  neighboring  states  can  be  hired  to  labor  at 
the  furnaces,  the  works,  after  the  year  1S24,  must  be  aban- 
doned, and  this  main  source  of  revenue  to  the  state  be  lost; 
besides  all  the  advantages  which  they  individually  derive 
from  the  market,  which,  when  in  operation,  those  works 
create.  The  people  in  this  part  also,  in  common  with  others 
in  all  parts  of  the  state,  desire  an  amendment  of  the  con- 
stitution in  other  particulars  wherein  it  has  been  found 
defective,  and  many  (we  are  far  from  concealing  it)  are  in 
favor  of  the  introduction  of  slavery,  either  absolute,  as  it 
exists  at  present  in  the  slave-holding  states,  or  in  a  limited 
degree  —  that  is  to  say,  to  exist  until  the  children  bom  after

its  admission  shall  arrive  at  a  certain  age,  to  be  fixed  by  the 
constitution."" 

When  Coles  secured  control  of  the  Intelligencer,  the  Ga- 
zette remarked,  "Notwithstanding  we  have  a  high  respect 
for  the  former  editors,  and  the  manner  in  which  they  executed 
their  editorial  functions,  we  cannot  but  hope  that  the  Intelli- 
gcttcer  will  henceforth  be  conducted  in  a  course,  so  as  not  to 
warrant  any  person  in  saying  it  disgusts  tke  communiiy.^^^ 
The  situation  is  most  clearly  revealed  in  one  sentence  printed 
August  7.  The  Gazette  had  vigorously  supported  Cook  as 
candidate  for  Congress  in  opposition  to  Bond,  although 
Cook  was  a  strong  anli-slavery  man.  No  doitbt  the  enmity 
which  Eddy  incurred  by  doing  all  in  his  power  to  defeat  the 
pro-slavery  Bond  caused  many  supporters  of  the  convention 
to  regard  Eddy  as  opposed  to  them  on  that  proposition  also. 
But  that  his  loyalty  to  Cook  in  no  wise  influenced  his  s>'m- 
pathy  for  the  convention  is  fairly  indicated  in  his  remark-  of 
August  7:  "The  convention  question  is  lost  —  principally, 
we  believe,  from  the  effort  made  by  Governor  Bond's  friends 
to  force  him  upon  its  supporters,  against  the  declared  prefer- 
ence of  Mr.  Cook.'* 

It  is  clear  from  the  pages  of  the  paper  itself  that  the 
Gazette  favored  the  convention.  But  it  is  more  obvious  that 
Eddy  opened  his  columns  freely  to  both  parties  in  the  dis- 
cussion, that  he  was  as  nearly  non-committal  as  an  editor 
well  could  be,  and  that  his  course  was  in  striking  contrast 
with  that  of  Hooper  Warren  and  his  Spectator  on  one  hand, 
and  Theophilus  Smith  and  the  Illinois  Repttblican  on  the 
other.

INTRODUCTION 


xhHI 


The  Illinois  Intelligencer,  before  the  beginning  of  the 
fight,  was  inclined  to  ignore  the  slavery  question;  its  owners 
up  to  February  15,  1823,  Wm.  H.  Brown  and  William 
Berry,  were  on  opposite  sides.  In  the  number  for  February 
15,  however,  there  appeared  a  scathing  editorial,  entitled 
"Extraordinary  Legislative  Proceedings/'  denouncing  the 
legislature  "  for  its  playing  fast  and  loose  with  the  Pike 
County  members  in  order  to  gain  the  one  vote  necessary  to 
call  for  a  ballot  on  the  convention.  To  this  editorial  Wil- 
liam Berry  appended  a  note.  "The  above  'extraordinary 
legislative  proceedings'  have  been  published  by  my  partner, 
Wm.  H.  Brown,  Esq.,  without  my  approbation,  and  shall 
be  answered  next  week."  In  the  issue  for  the  next  week 
Robert  Blackwell's  name  replaced  Brown's,  and  signed  edi- 
torials from  all  three  participants  set  forth  their  respective 
views.  Under  Blackwell  and  Berry  the  paper  was  less 
partizan,  but  was  friendly  to  the  convention  faction." 

At  some  time  between  March  19  and  May  7,  1824,  Berry 
disposed   of  his   interest   nominally   to   David   Blackwell,

February  17,  iSa,^,  Mr.  Field,  of  Union  Counlf,  moved  the  adoption  of  ihe  following 
resolution;  "That  the  Editors  of  the  tiHntns  IntetHgmc^  be  requested  forthwith

Eaper,  signed  A,  li  and  which  charfjes  thr  Lc^slaturc  with  corruption  and  dis- 
Qnesty."  The  reaohition  passed,  and  there  the  matter  ended.  Public  feeling 
outside  of  the  legislature  was  so  much  aroused  that  a  mob  collected  in  front  oj  the 
office  of  the  newspaper  and  thw-atenrd  lo  destroy  the  press  and  other  cf^uipmenl- 
But  this  demonstration  proceeded  no  further  toward  results  than  the  legislature 
itself  had  gone. 

"  James  H.  Perkins,  AnnaUe}  the  West,  appendix,  7"J»-793,  says:  "The  paper 
(al  Vandalia)  that  performed  the  public  printinR,  was  the  strong  garrison  (of  the 
convention  party  in  Oeccmbcr,  1833).  On  the  morning  of  the  meeting  of  the  con- 
vention parlv  Ifwlers  this  citndcl  surrendered  to  their  opponents,  hoisted  the  anti- 
convention  fUg,  and  prepaj«d  to  pour  f^-ipesbot  into  their  ranks.  .  .  .  Governor 
Coles  had  purchased  an  interest  in  the  press;  David  Blackwell,  Esq..  of  Belleville, 
had  been  appointed  secretary  of  stale,  to  fil)  a  vacancy  and  conduct  the  paper  as 
editor." 

This  is  inaccurmte.  David  Blackwell  did  not  become  editor  until  after  March. 
1834.

though  Governor  Coles  was  the  real  buyer."  With  this 
change  the  InielUgeHcer  became  an  active  opponent  of  the 
convention;  David  Blackwell  in  his  "prospectus,"  printed 
May  14,  asserted  that  he  would  give  his  uniform  opposition 
to  the  convention.     And  he  did  so. 

The  lUhwis  Republican  and  the  Republican  Advocate 
(later  the  Kaskaskia  Republican)  were  less  permanent  ele- 
ments in  the  early  newspaper  field,  and  did  little  more  than 
contribute  to  the  campaign  discussions  of  1823-24.  The 
Illinois  Republican  at  Edwardsville  was  established  by  a 
Pcnnsylvanian  named  Miller,  and  his  son.  Their  coming 
was  opportune;  a  paper  to  oppose  the  Spectator  was  much 
desired,  and  a  group  of  citizens,  including  Theophilus  W. 
Smith,  furnished  some  necessary  money  to  aid  the  under- 
taking. From  the  beginning  the  paper  favored  the  pro- 
slavery  party;  when  the  convention  campaign  opened,  it 
passed  into  the  hands  of  Thomas  J.  McGuire  and  Company, 
and  became  the  organ  of  the  convention  party,"  with  Smith 
as  virtual  editor,  aided  by  William  Kinney,  West,  and  others. 
Smith  was  a  smooth,  graceful,  and  plausible  writer.  His 
articles  were  polished  and  of  considerable  literary  merit,  but 
he  was  not  the  equal  of  his  rival.  Hooper  Warren.  No  other 
papers  in  the  campaign  fought  at  such  close  quarters,  or 
with  such  direct  personal  animosity  and  bitterness  as  these 
two  at  Edwardsville.  Yet  the  editors  went  only  once  out- 
side of  their  editorial  columns  and  their  offices  to  flay  their 
opponents.    Their  pens  were  facile  and  forcible. 

The  Republican  Advocate  was  established  at  Kaskaskia 
by  Elias  Kent  Kane  and  Governor  Reynolds,  at  first  under

the  nominal  editorship  of  Robert  K.  Fleming,  the  printer; 
in  January,  1824,  in  the  heat  of  the  campaign  in  which  the 
paper  supported  the  convention  party,  it  was  transferred  to 
William  Orr.  Orr  renamed  it  Kaskaskia  Republican  in 
March,  1824,  and  continued  the  paper  until  early  in  1825, 
but  the  collapse  of  his  cause  deprived  him  of  most  of  his 
support.  In  reviving  his  journal  in  1826  under  the  title  of 
Illinois  Reporter,  Orr  remarke<i  philosophically  that  he  had 
been  "taught  by  experience  that  his  course  in  the  political 
field  should  not  be  permitted  to  transcend  the  limits  of 
temperate  remark,"  and  added,  with  something  further  of 
philosophy,  that  "extreme  violence  in  political  discussions, 
or  unrestrained  vituperation  of  those  with  whom  we  cannot 
coincide  in  matters  of  opinion,  should  not  be  indulged  in." 

How  much  the  newspapers  affected  the  results  of  the 
campaign  can  hardly  be  estimated.  Two  out  of  the  five 
were  against  the  convention,  and  the  convention  was  de- 
feated; but  in  three  of  the  four  counties  in  wliich  the  papers 
were  published,  the  convention  faction  won.  St.  Clair 
County  voted  against  the  convention,  506  to  408,  and  the 
result  has  been  credited  very  largely  to  the  vigorous  efforts 
of  the  Spectator;  Fayette  County  returned  125  for  to  121 
against;  in  Gallatin,  where  Eddy  made  his  timid  stand, 
597  for  to  133  against  showed  the  temper  of  the  southeast 
section  of  the  slate;  in  Randolph  357  were  for  and  284 
against  the  proposal. 

The  engine  of  the  press  finished  the  first  period  of  its 
career  under  forced  draft  and  high  pressure,  as  it  were.  In 
the  columns  of  these  pioneer  papers  the  early  life  of  the  state 
lies  revealed  frankly  and  realistically.  The  editors  or 
contributors  included  nearly  all  the  leaders  in  public  life, 
and  like  the  leaders,  the  papers  were  strongly  partizan. 


I 


ILLINOIS  raSTORICU,  COLLECTIONS 


But  the  partizanship  was  obvious  and  sincere;  the  earnest- 
ness with  which  cither  party  advocated  its  cause  is  still 
refreshing;  and  in  this  earnestness  with  which  the  charge 
was  made  and  repulsed  and  the  countercharge  brought  forth, 
there  are  the  simplicity  and  the  strength  of  the  pioneers  of 
a  great  commonwealth.  When  the  campaign  was  over  the 
papers  lost  their  strongest  writers  and  much  of  their  patron- 
age. One  was  discontinued;  the  others  entered  the  next 
period  weakened  in  character  and  in  influence. 

FROM  1824  TO  1840 

The  period  from  1824  to  1840,  although  somewhat  arbi- 
trarily limited,  extends  from  the  great  convention  contest  to 
the  most  exciting  presidential  campaign,  relative  to  news- 
paper activity,  before  i860.  It  is  also  a  formative  period, 
in  which  almost  every  subsequent  phenomenon  of  increase, 
congregation^  and  distribution  of  population  was  begun  or 
indicated ;  and  in  which  several  types  of  periodicals  were 
introduced. 

In  1824  nearly  the  whole  of  the  northern  two-thirds  of  the 
state  was  included  in  five  counties.  The  military  bounty 
land  tract  was  divided  between  Pike  and  Fulton ;  Sangamon, 
Fayette,  and  Edgar  included  their  present  territories  and  all 
that  part  of  the  state  to  the  north  of  them  and  south  of  the 
Illinois  river  and  the  lower  edge  of  Lake  Michigan.  By 
1840,  though  fifteen  counties  were  set  apart  subsequently, 
the  county  organization  was  practically  what  it  is  to- 
day.*" 

The  chief  movement  of  population  in  the  early  part  of 
the  period  was  the  rapid  peopling  of  the  valley  of  the  Illinois 
river,  of  the  prairies  of  the  central  part  of  the  state,  and  of

the  Fever  river  lead  region  in  the  vicinity  of  Galena.*^  The 
greatest  immigration  into  Central  Elinob  occurred  in  1827 
and  1828;  from  the  end  of  the  Black  Hawk  War  until  the 
financial  disturbances  in  1837  there  was  rapid  growth  along 
the  Illinois  river.  Springfield,  which  was  established  in  1819, 
had  a  population  numbering  between  six  hundred  and  eight 
hundred  in  1830;  Jackson\-ille  was  of  about  the  same  size. 
The  population  of  Sangamon  County  at  that  time  was  over 
forty-two  thousand;  that  of  the  militarj'  tract  was  about 
thirteen  thousand;  Adams  County  was  the  most  thickly 
settled  district  in  that  now  populous  area,  and  Quincy, 
the  county  town,  contained  perhaps  two  hundred  persons. 
Peoria,  whose  first  permanent  settlers  arrived  in  1S19, 
grew  with  great  rapidity.  Peoria  County  had  been  organ- 
ized in  1825  with  a  population  of  twelve  hundred  thirty- 
six;  Galena  counted  a  popularion  of  about  two  thousand, 
and  the  county  more  than  t^^^ce  that  number.  After  1834 
the  objective  point  for  immigrants  to  Illinois  was  Chicago, 
where  many  stayed,  and  from  which  point  the  whole  northern 
part  of  the  state  was  peopled.  This  movement  was  checked 
by  the  financial  depression  beginning  in  1837,  but  revived 
a^in  in  1842. 

Transportation  facihties  improved  rapidly.  Steam  navi- 
gation on  the  Illinois  river  began  in  1828,  and  on  Lake  Michi- 
gan in  1832.  By  1830  nearly  every  important  point  in  Illi- 
nois could  be  reached  in  a  reasonably  short  time,  since  steam- 
boats departed  almost  daily  for  all  IIHnois  points  along  the 
Mississippi,  and  others  plied  up  and  down  the  Illinois.

Roads,  also,  were  improved  and  extended."  In  1824  a  stage 
line  led  from  St.  Louis  to  Mncennes;"  by  1830  trips  were 
marie  three  times  a  week  over  this  route,  touching  Belleville, 
Lebanon,  Carlyle,  MaysviUe,  and  Lawrenceville.**  A  stage 
went  once  a  week  from  St.  Louis  to  Vandalia  by  way  of 
Edwardsville  and  Greenville;  and  once  a  week  to  Galena 
by  way  of  Edwardsville,  Springfield,  and  Peoria.  In  1836 
a  line  of  wagons  was  established  between  Chicago  and  Kan- 
kakee, where  connection  was  made  for  the  Illinois  river; 
three  years  later  a  stage  line  operating  between  Chicago  and 
Galena  made  the  trip  in  two  days. 

Four  newspapers  sur\'ived  the  convention  campaign,  to 
connect  the  preceding  wlh  the  period  now  being  considered. 
To  these  were  added  one  hundred  and  fifteen  new  journal- 
istic ventures,  and  thirty-one  others  that  belong  to  a  most 
difficult  class,  based  on  a  sort  of  incorporeal  hereditament; 
papers  with  new  names  or  old  names,  but  related  more  or 
less  mythically  with  preceding  publications.  An  attempt 
to  follow  the  wandering  titles  and  peripatetic  subscription 
lists  of  many  of  these  early  papers  carries  the  investigator 
too  near  the  psychical  for  any  practical  purposes  of  record. 
However,  of  these  one  hundred  and  sixty  that  had  exist- 
ence in  these  sixteen  years,  but  fifty-two  remained  for  the

temporary  campaign  sheets."

The  geographical  distribution  of  the  papers  established 
in  this  period  is  of  much  signiiicance.  WTiereas  in  the  first 
decade  no  paper  was  projected  in  territory  farther  to  the 
north  than  Vandalia,  two  years  later  the  Miner's  Journal 
appeared  at  Galena,  two  hundred  miles  northward;  in  the 
next  year  the  Sangamo  Spectator  was  established  at  Spring- 
field; Jacksonville  followed  in  1830  with  the  WesUrn 
Observer,  Mton  in  1832  with  the  Spectator,  and  Chicago 
with  the  Democrat  in  1833.  Add  to  these  the  Chronicle  and 
Bounty  Land  Advertisery  begun  at  Beardstown  in  1833,  the 
Enquirer,  set  up  in  the  same  year  at  Danville,  on  the  eastern 
edge  of  the  central  belt  of  the  state,  the  Illinois  Champion 
attd  Peoria  Herald  in  the  north  central  section,  1834,  and 
the  Bounty  Land  Register,  begun  in  1835  at  Quincy,  on  the 
extreme  western  side,  and  the  limits  of  distribution  have 
been  reached.  What  remained  now  was  but  the  filling  in  of 
the  spaces  between  these  remote  points,  and  much  of  this  was 
accomplished  within  the  period. 

The  filling  in  process  was  urged  to  abnormal  activity  by 
the  grand  internal  improvement  scheme.  No  fewer  than 
nineteen  newspapers  were  established  in  towns  along  the 
Illinois  river  and  the  canal  route,  including  Alton  and  ex- 
cluding Chicago,  between  1836  and  1840.  But  as  no  part 
of  the  state  was  left  out  of  this  comprehensive  scheme,  papers 
grew,  declined,  and  died  in  all  parts  of  the  state.  Yet  aside 
from  the  impetus  of  the  improvement  scheme  there  was  the 
spirit  of  the  time  that  made  for  recklessness.  Immigration 
and  speculation  were  abnormally  augmented,  settlers  were 
pouring  into  the  state,  town  sites  were  being  laid  out  on  all 
sorts  of  theories  of  future  development.  A  contemporary 
editor  has  given  an  explanation  of  the  newspaper  situation 
that  doubtless  is  true.

"The  establishment  of  newspapers  appears  to  be  a  lead- 
ing characteristic  of  the  present  age.  So  great  is  the  rage 
for  getting  up  papers,  that  the  patronage  necessary  for  their 
maintenance  is  thought  a  secondar>*  consideration,  if,  indeed, 
it  is  not  deemed  of  too  little  consequence  to  elicit  even  a 
passing  enquiry.  Is  there  a  town  or  city  in  embryo,  with 
its  plat  designated,  its  streets  and  alleys,  and  public  grounds 
marked  out,  having  within  its  bounds  some  half  a  dozen 
houses,  a  tavern,  a  store,  and  a  blacksmith  shop  ?^  its 
crowded  population  and  wealth  and  greatness  are  seen  in 
perspective,  and  a  press  is  wanted,  the  sacrifice  of  some  poor 
printer  is  demanded,  to  magnify  its  beauties,  extenuate  its 
faults,  transform  its  ver}'  evils  into  blessings,  and  give 
assurance  to  the  world  of,  not  what  it  is,  but  what  it  is  to  be. 
Is  there  a  little  \TlIage,  with  its  political  parties  or  factions  in 
array? — the  one  must  have  its  paper  to  promulgate  its 
doctrines  and  vindicate  its  rigiits;  and  anon  the  opposing 
party,  having  in  their  imagination  great  principles  and  im- 
portant interests  at  stake,  must  also  have  its  organ  through 
which  it  can  be  heard,  that  the  encroachments  of  contending 
power  may  be  stayed.  Is  there  a  wealthy  and  ambitious 
demagogue,  grasping  for  office  as  the  only  means  of  obtain- 
ing a  short-lived  and  perchance  an  unenviable  distinction? 
—  the  press  is  the  great  lever  by  which  he  is  to  consummate 
his  wishes.  Is  there  a  lawyer,  brief  in  years,  brief  in  legal 
acquirements,  with  professional  prospects  briefless,  the  press 
is  the  fulcrum  upon  which  his  last  hope  for  political  prefer- 
ment is  based  —  the  all-powerful  engine  by  which  he  is  to 
elevate  himself  to  the  summit  of  his  imaginary  glory,  to  the 
highest  goal  of  his  ambitions,—  and  straight  the  learned 
Theban  mounts  the  editorial  tripod,  and  with  more  than

sibylline  gravity  utters  forth  his  oracles  of  political  wisdom 
to  a  benighted  world."'* 

The  presidential  campaign  of  1840  brought  into  being 
a  large  number  of  papers.  Of  the  seventeen  established  in 
1839,  six  may  reasonably  be  considered  campaign  ephemera, 
which  were  discontinued  in  1840  or  1841,  or,  finding  evidence 
of  permanent  support,  changed  their  titles  to  indicate  their 
altered  character.  In  1840  such  papers  as  Sucker,  Spirit  of 
'7*5,  Stn>ereign  People,  lUitwis  Free  Trader,  Old  Hickory^ 
and  Old  Soldier  were  started  merely  as  campaign  sheets; 
and  there  were  at  least  twelve  others  primarily  of  the  same 
character.  Sixteen  of  the  thirty  new  or  refurbished  down- 
state  papers  established  in  1840  ended  with  the  campaign 
or  within  the  following  year. 

In  tone  the  papers  were  not  materially  different  from 
those  of  the  preceding  period.  There  were,  to  be  sure,  a 
good  many  very  poor  sheets,  of  a  colorless,  neutral  tone,  the 
forerunners  of  the  abject  bread-getters,  never  exalted  to  the 
dignity  of  bread-earners,  which  became  widely  prevalent  in 
the  decade  from  1870  to  1880.  But  more  of  the  papers 
were  run  by  men  of  backbone  and  brains  —  proportions 
varying.  Politics  continued  to  be  the  primary  interest,  and 
the  political  tone  was  nothing  softened  since  1824.  No 
presidential  contest  in  Illinois  produced  more  violent  news- 
paper utterances  than  that  of  1840.  It  was  a  campaign 
especially  to  the  taste  of  the  settlers  in  the  young,  crude  state, 
and  the  inhabitants  entered  the  lists  without  reserve,  and 
with  sufficient  vocabularies.    Witness  this  following,  from

Hodge  was  not  a  fair  representative  of  the  Illinois  news-

differed  in  degree,  they  were  alike  in  being  strong  party 
organs,  one-sided,  and  never  independent. 

The  strong  bias  that  seemed  to  be  demanded  of  the  news- 
papers of  the  time,  the  bias  that  fed  the  party  or  factional 
spirit,  at  the  same  time  reduced  the  power  of  the  papers. 
'Newspapers  at  present  have  but  little  influence,"  wrote 
Hooper  Warren  in  1828."  "The  readers  are  few,  and 
these  are  taught  to  believe  that  all  that  appears  in  a  news- 
paper is  a  lie,  of  course."  At  this  same.time  De  Tocqueville 
remarked  the  small  influence  of  American  papers,"  and 
Harriet  Martineau  had  never  heard  any  one  <lcny  the  prof- 
ligacy of  newspapers  in  general,  or  that  the  American  were 
the  worst.  Why  "the  republic  has  not  been  overthrown  by 
its  newspapers""  Miss  Martineau  might  have  learned  from

Though  the  newspaper  readers  were  few  from  the  point 
of  view  of  an  unsuccessful  editor,  the  ratio  of  neu-spafiers  to 
population  was  large,  as  the  following  table  will  show,  and 
their  influence  was  without  doubt  greater  than  the  dis- 
couraged editor  of  the  Galena  Advertiser  believed.

In  the  following  statistical  view  of  the  publishing  in- 
dustry in  the  state  in  1840,  presented  in  the  census  report 
for  that  year,  two  items  require  comment.  The  four  peri- 
(xlicals  assigned  to  Jo  Daviess  County  it  seems  impossible 
to  identify.  There  were  but  two  towns  of  any  consequence 
in  the  county  at  that  time,  and  neither,  so  far  as  available 
materials  show,  supported  a  periodical  other  than  a  news- 
paper. The  same  difficulty  attends  the  daily  paper  in 
Schuyler  County.  Possibly  the  Rushvillc  Political  Examiner 
was  issued  daily  in  the  heat  of  the  campaign.

religious  paper  was  started;  in  the  next  year  appeared  an 
agricultural  journal,  the  second  west  of  the  Alleghanies, 
and  a  monthly  literary  magazine.  The  first  harbinger  of 
the  flock  which  was  to  spread  the  Washingtonian  movement 
abroad  in  the  state  came  in  1836;  in  1837  an  educational 
monthly  endured  a  brief  life  of  neglect.  In  the  next  year 
a  paper  was  started  at  EdwardsviUe  to  promulgate  a  uni- 
versal language.  Finally,  ambitious  Chicago  produced  in 
1839  the  first  daily  paper  in  the  state,  and  in  1840  the  second. 
It  should  be  noted  too,  that  the  two  oldest  papers  in  Illinois 
to-day  look  back  to  this  period  for  their  beginnings.  Most 
of  these  pioneers  in  special  fields  require  here  a  word  of 
comment. 

Religious  journalism,  which  has  been  important  numeri- 
cally since  the  middle  of  this  period,  began  with  the  Pioneer 
of  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi,  established  at  Rock  Spring 
by  John  Mason  Peck  and  T.  P.  Green,  and  first  issued  on 
April  25,  1829.  It  was  a  private  venture,  and  Baptist. 
Baptist  journalism  in  Illinois  has  been,  from  the  beginning, 
wholly  a  matter  of  private  enterprise  in  contrast  with  that  of 
Ohio  and  Michigan,  among  the  western  states.'^  The  idea 
of  the  Pioneer  originated  \Wth  Peck,  who  felt  that  his  Baptist 
seminary,  and  the  state,  needed  the  stimulus  that  a  weekly 
paper  would  give.  He  found  a  Rev.  T.  P.  Green  willing  to 
furnish  half  enough  money  to  start  the  venture,  and  to  act 
as  publisher.  The  rest  of  the  funds  Peck  secured  from 
eastern  Baptists,  who,  no  doubt,  at  Peck's  suggestion,  stipu- 
lated that  half  of  the  profits  should  go  to  the  seminary. 
Peck  was  editor,  and  in  his  travels  solicited  subscriptions. 
But  the  paper  was  a  dead  expense  from  the  beginning;"

the  Rev.  Mr.  Green  soon  starved  out,  and  was  succeeded  by^ 
a  Mr.  Smith,  son-in-law  of  Mr.  Peck.  In  June,  1836, 
office  was  moved  to  Alton,  where  it  was  a  distressing  burden 
to  its  originator  until  Januar)',  1839,  when  it  was  combined 
with  the  Baptist  Banner  of  Louisville,  Kentucky. 

That  an  attempt  was  made  to  establish  a  pretentious 
literar)'  monthly  in  Illinois  in  1830  provokes  astonishment 
paralleled  only  by  the  wonder  that  the  attempt  was  carried 
two  years  toward  success.  James  Hall,  lawyer,  writer, 
circuit  judge,  state  treasurer,  editor  of  the  Illinois  Emigrant 
from  1820  to  1822,  of  the  Illinois  Intelligencer  from  1829  to 
1832,  trustee  of  Illinois  College,  writer  of  fiction,  literary 
biography,  and  commercial  statistics,  vehement  politician 
and  maker  of  many  enemies  —  this  versatile  Pennsylvanian 
established  the  Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  at  Vandalia, 
October,  1830,  and  published  it  there  for  two  years.  Illinois 
had  been  a  state  but  twelve  years,  and  contained  more  horse- 
thieves  in  the  southern  and  Indians  in  the  northern  sections 
than  litterateurs  in  both.  Yet  here  was  this  hopeful  voice 
calling  out  from  Vandalia  to  the  people  of  Illinois  for  articles 
on  subjects  literar}',  scientific,  cultural  —  for  fiction  and  for 
poetry  —  and  for  approcialinn  in  coin  of  the  realm.  It  had 
nearly  a  score  of  predecessors  in  Ijie  Ohio  valley,"  including 
The  Medley  (1803),  Western  Review  (1820)  and  TransyU 
vanian  (1S29)  at  Lexington,  Kentucky;  Cincinnati  Lit€rary\ 
Gazette  (1S24),  Western  Monthly  Review  (1828),  Sentinel  and 
Star  in  the  West  (1829),  and  0/w,  at  Cincinnati,  the  western 
publishing  center  of  that  time.  Of  these  predecessors  to 
Hall's  venture,  Olio  (1821-22)  is  of  interest  here  because 
one  of  its  editors  was  Samuel  S.   Brooks,  who  became

INTRODUCTION 


one  of  the  most  active  and  trenchant  of  early  editors  in 
Illinois.  The  greater  age  and  population  of  the  communities 
in  which  these  early  attempts  were  made,  as  compared  with 
the  village  capital  of  Illinois,  make  Hall's  venture  seem  the 
more  hazardous. 

Yet  Hall's  purpose  was  largely  practical.  *'The  leading 
features  of  our  humble  attempt,"  the  editor  explained  in  the 
preface  to  his  first  number,  *'wiU  be  to  disseminate  knowl- 
edge, to  cultivate  a  taste  for  letters,  and  to  give  correct  deline- 
ations of  this  country  to  our  distant  friends.  .  .  .  Every 
topic  connected  with  the  arts,  the  industry,  or  the  resources 
of  this  flourishing  state,  or  of  the  western  country,  will  come 
within  the  scope  of  this  work.  .  .  .  But  while  we  propose 
to  give  a  prominent  place  to  the  useful^  it  is  not  our  intention 
to  neglect  the  lighter  and  more  elegant  branches  of  literature. 
Original  tales,  characteristic  of  the  western  people,  are 
promised,  and  we  think  that  our  arrangements  in  this  depart- 
ment are  such,  that  the  lovers  of  ingenious  fiction  will  not 
be  disappointed.  Literary  intelligence  will  form  a  portion 
of  each  number.*'  Something  further  of  Hall's  ideal  was 
expressed  in  the  seventh  number,  when,  in  the  course  of  an 
article  on  "Periodicals,"  the  editor  wrote,  "Our  editors 
have  become  too  formal,  and  stately,  and  fastidious.  .  .  . 
Instead  of  the  infinite  variety  of  topics,  which  once  gave 
interest  to  works  of  this  description,  nothing  is  now  admitted 
but  reviews,  talcs,  and  poetry.  ...  I  am  much  belter 
pleased  with  the  good  old-fashioned  magazines  .  .  .  within 
whose  well  furnished  pages,  the  reader,  whatever  might  be 
his  taste,  was  sure  to  find  something  agreeable." 

Such,  indeed,  was  the  character  of  the  Illinois  Mofithly 
Magazitte,  for  performance  followed  close  on  purpose,  and 
Hall  gathered  in  those  two  ambitious  volumes  a  quantity.

quality,  and  variety  of  matter  creditable  indeed.  He  drew 
on  his  own  resources  hea\Tly  —  he  contributed  nearly  one- 
half  of  all  that  he  printed.  And  he  drew  at  the  same  time 
on  all  other  available  resources  in  the  state,  and  soon  ex- 
hausted them. 

The  energetic  citizens  of  Alton,  which  at  that  time  was 
almost  the  equal  of  Chicago  in  population,  furnished  the 
first  organ  of  temperance  reform,  when  on  June  t,  1836,  the 
Illinois  State  Temperance  Society  published  there  the  first 
number  of  the  Illinois  Temperance  Herald.  The  paper 
never  received  from  subscriptions  and  advertisements  a 
support  sufficient  to  maintain  it,  but  the  society  seems  to 
have  had  fairly  ample  funds,  since  for  some  time  as  many  as 
six  thousand  copies  of  the  Herald  were  circulated."  Fur- 
thermore they  brought  Timothy  Turner,  an  effective  tem- 
perance lecturer,  from  New  York,  and  at  considerable 
expense  secured  A.  W.  Corey  as  editor  of  their  paper."  The 
burden  became  too  great,  however;  the  Missouri  Society 
was  in  1839  induced  to  share  the  expenses  of  publication, 
and  the  title  of  the  paper  was  altered  to  Missouri  and  Illinois 
Temperance  Herald.  The  words  and  Washini^tottian  were 
added  in  1842,  after  which  time  the  paper  did  not  long 
survive. 

Ensley  T.  and  C.  Goudy  began  in  January,  1S37,  to 
pubUsh  the  first  educational  journal  in  HUnois,  probably  the 
first  in  the  Mississippi  valley.  It  was  entitled  Common 
School  Advocate,  and  was  issued  monthly.     Only  a  printer

service.  In  the  winter  of  1851-1852  the  Whigs  of  Chicago 
had  a  controlling  interest  in  the  Tribune.  Scripps  was  a' 
Free-Soiler,  and  something  of  a  Democrat,  so  he  sold  his 
share  in  the  Tribune,  and  with  William  Bross  started  the 
Democratic  Press,  through  which  he  continued  to  act  as  a 
tonic  to  the  press  of  the  city.  The  Democratic  Press  was 
Free-Soil,  but  supported  Douglas  until  the  Kansas-Neb- 
raska question  drove  it,  in  1856,  into  the  Republican 
party,  and  two  years  later,  into  the  Trihune,  which  Charles 
H.  Ray  made,  within  this  period,  the  best  paper  in  Illinois, 
and  which  increased  in  prestige  under  Horace  White  and 
Joseph  Medill,  until  it  ranked  high  in  American  journalism. 

Although  the  press  was  increasing  in  efficiency,  espe- 
cially through  the  establishment  of  such  publications  as  the 
Tribune  and  the  Prairie  Farmer,  and  papers  at  Bloomington, 
Princeton,  Peoria,  Quincy,  and  Belleville,  the  general  tone, 
especially  of  the  political  press,  was  still  in  the  greater  part 
violent  and  partisan.  Amid  the  clatter  of  party  discussions, 
however,  there  arose  early  in  the  period  signs  of  reaction, 
of  protest,  of  a  demand  for  rational  consideration  of  politics 
instead  of  party  affairs.  The  demand  was  neither  wide- 
spread nor  loudly  voiced,  for  the  general  public  was  far 
from  desiring  independent  newspapers  but  indiWduals,  and 
even  communities,  were  moving  in  that  direction.  At 
Jacksonville,  then  the  most  cultured  community  in  the 
State,  the  Illinoisan  had,  just  before  the  close  of  the  previous 
decade,  shown  better  qualities  than  generally  prevailed, 
but  it  had  passed  to  the  hands  of  William  Hodge  in  the 
early  forties,  and  had  sunk  to  the  common  level.  In  its 
place  there  arose  a  short-lived  but  significant  independent 
paper.

paper  for  the  sake  of  news.  Under  the  head  of  "  Crimes  and 
Casualties"  he  printed:"  "Our  paper  is  small,  and  if  our 
readers  will  for  the  present  just  have  the  goodness  to  imagine 
a  certain  due  proportion  of  fires,  tornadoes,  murders,  thefts, 
robberies  and  bully  fights,  from  week  to  week,  it  will  do  just 
as  well,  for  we  can  assure  them  they  actually  take  place." 
Such  a  news  service  would  have  satbfied  Thoreau,  but  did 
not  content  the  subscribers.  On  the  other  hand,  the  edi- 
torial department  was  strong.  The  Quincy  Whig  commented 
facetiously  on  one  of  Mr.  Turner's  thirteen -column  edi- 
torialsj  and  was  told  in  reply  that  the  actual  length  was  but 
eleven  columns.  These  editorials  dealt  carefully  and  logi- 
cally, but  vigorously  and  sometimes  caustically,  with 
current  political  topics  —  slavery,  the  tariff,  and  banks  — 
always  considered  morally  or  economically,  without  regard 
to  parties.  Agriculture  and  education  were  given  much 
attention.  The  editor  flatly  refused  to  write  "puffs"  for 
advertisers.  In  the  second  number  a  great  national  news- 
paper at  Washington  was  proposed,  to  represent  both  politi- 
cal parties,  page  and  page  alike.  This  was  to  be  supple- 
mented by  similar  papers  at  each  state  capital.  "The 
constitution  provides  for  catching  runaway  negroes,  but  it 
makes  no  provision  for  informing  free  white  men,"  thus 
leaving  the  press  and  the  people  in  the  hands  of  demagogues 
and  factions.  The  national  bi-party  paper  was  to  "miti- 
gate the  ferocity  of  party  zeal,"  and  protect  the  public  from 
low  ribaldry,  sophistry,  and  abuse. 

Of  course  the  Statesman  did  not  "succeed,"  and  it  was 
discontinued  at  the  end  of  one  year;  but  it  is  significant, 
even  in  failure,  as  having  thus  early  voiced  a  protest  still 
heard,  and  as  having  striven  for  an  ideal  still  but  partly 
achieved.

INTRODUCTION 


The  free-soil  movement  in  Illinois  gave  rise  to  a  numb 
of  newspapers  between  1842  and  1854.  The  movcmei 
may  be  said  to  have  centered  around  the  series  of  papei 
which  included  Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation,  Genin 
0/  Liberty,  and  Free  West,  and  which  were  fairly  entitled  t 
be  called  the  mouthpieces  of  the  free-soil  and  abolitio 
movement  in  the  state.  But  by  1845  others  had  sprung  uj 
and  by  1848,  when  Van  Buren  was  supported  by  an  imposing 
list  of  able  and  important  papers,  including  the  Chicagc 
Tribune,  free-soil  organs  were  fairly  numerous."  f 

On  the  breaking  up  of  the  Whig  party  a  number  of  neu-s- 
papers,  like  many  individuals,  found  difficulty  in  placing 
themselves.  The  Whigs,  like  the  Democrats  in  Illinois, 
were  divided  in  two  factions.  Many  Whigs  felt  that  if  thej 
were  to  remain  true  to  their  principles,  they  could  not  cor- 
dially unite  with  any  party  then  in  existence;"  and  man) 
felt  that  no  genuine  Whig  could  join  a  party  founded  on  the

slavery  question."  Because  of  the  unusual  lack  of  homo- 
geneity in  the  state,  coalition  of  free  ^^^^igs  and  free  Demo- 
crats was  considerably  retarded. 

In  spite  of  the  popular  revolt  against  Douglas  and  his 
bill,  neither  the  free  Democrats  nor  the  free  Whigs  soon 
seized  the  opportunity  to  lead  in  forming  a  coalition  party, 
and  the  free  Democrats  finally  played  comparatively  little 
part  in  the  Republican  movement  in  Illinois."  When  the 
Nebraska  bill  was  passed  the  Democratic  Chicago  Courafit 
declared:  "The  political  landmarks  can  no  longer  be  Whig 
or  Democratic,  Free-Soil  or  Abolitionist,  but  must  be  merged 
into  the  two  great  parties.  South  and  North." 

In  certain  localities  the  free  Democrats  indicated  readi- 
ness to  form  a  new  party,  and  a  call  was  issued  for  a  con- 
vention in  Springfield  on  October  4  and  5.  The  meeting 
proved  fruitless,  however,  and  "in  this  campaign,  therefore, 
the  Illinois  Free  Democrats  lost  their  identity  as  a  party,"  " 
as  well  as  their  opportunity  to  assume  leadership  in  forming 
a  new  one. 

The  Illinois  Whigs  were  extremely  conservative.  While 
the  formation  of  state  RepubUcan  organizations  in  Michigan, 
Wisconsin,  and  elsewhere  was  going  on  in  1R54,  the  Illinois 
State  Journal  advised  against  abandoning  the  Whig  organi- 
zation, and  its  advice  was  followed."  Hence  Illinois  had 
no  Republican  organization  in  1S54,  although  the  de- 
mand for  one  was  voiced  by  local  conventions  at  Princeton 
and  elsewhere  which  declared  in  favor  of  organizing.  Two 
years  later,   in  the  absence  of  any  party  machinery,  a

number  of  anti-Nebraska  editors  of  the  state  held  a  prelimi- 
nary convention  at  Decatur  on  February  22,  1856. 

Early  in  January  there  had  appeared  in  the  Morgan 
Jourtuii  of  Jacksonville,  edited  by  Paul  Selby,  a  suggestion 
for  the  holding  of  such  a  convention  to  agree  on  a  policy  for 
the  approaching  campaign,  John  Moses  printed  in  the 
Chronicle  of  Winchester  the  first  endorsement  of  the  idea; 
the  Illinois  State  Chronicle  of  Decatur  followed,  and  sug- 
gested Decatur  as  the  meeting  place.  After  some  further 
;ratification  a  formal  call  was  issued,  bearing  the  endorse- 
ments of  twent)'-five  papers:

was  made  chairman  and  W.  J.  Usrey,  secretary.  The  only 
outsider  admitted  to  the  deliberations  of  the  convention  was 
Abraham  Lincobi,  who  was  in  conference  nearly  all  day  with 
the  committee  on  resolutions,  made  up  of  Messrs.  Ray, 
Schneider,  Ralston,  Wharton,  Daugherty,  and  Pickett. 
This  committee  drafted  a  platform  and  appointed  a  state 
centra]  ccmimittce,  on  the  call  of  which  the  first  Republican 
state  convention  in  Illinois  was  held  at  Bloomington,  May 

29,  1856." 

The  great  scries  of  debates  between  T-incoln  and  Douglas, 
and  the  other  political  movements  centering  in  these  two 
men  and  leading  to  the  nomination  of  Lincoln  at  Chicago, 
make  the  Illinois  newspapers  between  1856  and  t86o  im- 
portant sources  of  the  history  of  a  most  critical  national  era. 
Through  the  newspapers  have  been  preserved  most  of  the 
speeches  made  by  Lincoln  all  over  the  state  in  those  years; 
yet  the  instances  are  many  in  which  the  papers  reported  in 
detail  the  reception  of  Lincoln,  the  procession  to  the  fair- 
grounds, the  menu  of  the  picnic  dinner,  and  recounted  the 
incident  in  which  Lincoln  insisted  on  yielding  his  scat  of 
honor  to  some  humble  admirer,  but  gave  no  word  of  his 
address  ewrept  to  mention  for  how  many  minutes  or  hours 
he  spoke.  This  is  true  even  of  some  of  that  large  class 
made  up  of  first  papers  to  suggest  Abraham  Lincoln  for  the 
presidency. 

Nothing  short  of  a  history  of  political  parties  in  Illinois 
would  serve  to  present  the  situation  in  the  state  between 
1854  and  the  war.  Nor  is  it  possible  to  set  forth  in  detail 
the  way  in  which  the  newspapers  reflected  the  shaping  of 
political  affairs.     In  general  it  may  be  said,  however,  that

in  Illinois  Whig  papers  became  Republican,  and  Demo- 
cratic papers,  less  generally,  remained  Democratic."  In 
the  border  states  many  Whig  papers  became  Democratic, 
including  the  St.  Louis  Republican,  which  circulated  largely 
in  southern  Illinois,  and  the  Louisville,  Kentucky,  Journal. 
There  were  some  such  changes  in  Illinois.  The  Jackson- 
ville Sentinel  changed  from  Whig  to  Democratic  in  1856; 
the  Knoxvillc  Journal  and  Clinton  Courier,  formerly  Inde- 
pendent, became  Democratic  in  1855,  the  Decatur  Gazette 
made  the  same  change  in  1856,  the  Pana  Herald  in  1858; 
and  the  Pekin  Tazewell  Registerj  which  had  been  Republi- 
can, altered  to  Democratic  in  the  same  year,  as  did  the 
Peoria  Transcript  in  1859.  On  the  other  hand,  the  breach 
in  the  Democratic  ranks,  especially  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  state,  was  more  marked.  The  Galena  Jeffersoniatiy 
then  under  the  editorship  of  Dr.  Charles  IL  Ray,  afterwards 
editor  of  the  Chicago  Tribune,  took  strong  ground  against 
the  Kansas-Nebraska  bill,  though  it  afterward  drifted  back 
into  the  ranks  of  the  Douglas  Democracy.  But  many 
staunch  Democratic  papers  revolted  at  that  measure.  Even 
the  Southern  lUinoisan,  of  Shawneetown,  left  Douglas  on 
that  point,  and  became  Republican.  Likewise  the  Aurora 
Guardian,  Belvidere  Standard,  Peoria  Banner,  Canton  Reg- 
ister, Belleville  Advocate,  and  the  influential  German  paper, 
Belleville  Zeitung,  altered  their  affiliations  between   1856 

"The  situation  in  1856  is  thus  deacribcd  by  Gustav  Kocmcr:  "Nearly  all 
prominent  Vorthern  Democrais  had  joined  the  Renuhlican  party,  as  well  as  a  great

and  1858  from  Democratic,  either  to  Free-Soil  and  then  to 
Republican,  or  directly  to  Republican. 

These  are  but  isolated  instances  of  changes  either  way. 
A  large  number  of  hitherto  independent  pa[)ers  were  drawn 
to  one  side  or  the  other.  Apparently  in  this  the  Republican 
forces  had  the  advantage.  In  the  starting  of  new  papers, 
on  the  contrar)^,  and  perhaps  partly  as  a  result  of  defections 
from  the  ranks  of  Democratic  papers,  the  Democrats  out- 
numbered the  Republicans,  in  1857,  1858,  and  1859,  at  a 
ratio  of  about  two  to  one.  A  large  number  of  these  papers 
were  brief  campaign  affairs,  however,  and  they  did  not 
materially  change  the  ratio  as  far  as  permanent  papers  were 

concerned. 

FROM  1861  TO  1870 

The  CiWl  War  greatly  affected  the  ncwpapers  and  the 
newspaper  situation,  and  set  in  motion  certain  developments 
that  were  not  fully  worked  out  until  after  the  close  of  the 
period  with  which  this  paper  deals.  The  stress  and  conflict 
of  public  opinion,  and  popular  anxiety  for  news  from  the 
armies  and  from  Washington  not  only  revolutionized  the 
practice  of  reporting  and  revised  the  form  and  makeup  of 
papers;  it  made  dailies  out  of  weeklies,  and  overcame  pious 
scruples  against  Sunday  editions." 

The  immediate  effect  was  on  circulation.  The  papers 
of  the  larger  towns  and  especially  of  Chicago  were  affected 
very  advantageously.  The  circulation  of  the  Tribune  rose 
from  18,000  in  1861  to  40,000  in  1864,  and  other  pafsers 
showed  like  increases.  John  Wentworth,  who,  in  a  panic 
at  the  prospect  of  war,  sold  his  Democrat  lest  he  should  be

ruined,  saw  that  journal  help  to  swell  the  increasing  tide  of 
subscriptions  to  a  height  hardly  thought  of  before.  The  war 
put  the  Chicago  newspapers  for  the  first  time  on  a  really 
money-making  basis.  Those  outside  of  Chicago,  located 
in  the  larger  towns  and  sufficiently  well  established  to  take 
advantage  of  the  desire  for  immediate  news  in  detail,  were 
also  given  a  fresh  impetus. 

There  were  few  dailies  in  the  state  outside  of  Chicago, 
and  none  of  them  could  compete  with  those  of  that  city  and 
St.  Louis  in  furnishing  news  from  the  front  and  from  Wash- 
ington. "We  had  no  daily  here  till  1866,"  writes  a  citizen  " 
of  Jacksonville,  "so  our  people  got  the  State  Journal  or 
Register  for  breakfast,  the  St.  Louis  papers  for  dinner,  at 
one  time,  and  the  Chicago  papers  for  supper."  The  Chi- 
cago and  St.  Louis  papers  gained  at  that  lime  a  circulation 
all  over  the  state  which  they  have  never  lost.  Yet  the  larger 
dailies  throughout  the  state  held  their  own,  and  received 
their  share  of  prosperity. 

Smaller  papers,  or  papers  in  the  smaller  towns  not  able 
to  get  telegraphic  news,  or  not  favorably  situated  for  receiving 
news  promptly  from  other  sources,  suffered  both  from  the 
competition  of  papers  of  the  larger  towns  and  from  the  great 
rise  in  the  price  of  paper,  which  came  as  a  direct  result  of 
war. 

The  numerical  status  of  newspapers  in  the  state  was 
seriously  affected.  The  two  causes  just  mentioned,  and 
others,  operated  to  decrease  the  number  of  papers,  and  as 
a  result,  we  find  a  situation  of  unexampled  prosperity  on  the 
one  hand,  and  of  poverty,  decline,  and  extinction  on  the 
other.     Beginning  with  1861  there  was  a  sharp  decline  in

gather  up  and  return  to  the  scrWce  a  number  of  deserters 
from  the  109th  Illinois  who  had  returned  to  their  homes. 
His  work  was  seriously  impeded  by  the  radical  utterances 
of  the  Gazette,  which,  Uke  a  majority  of  its  constituents, 
was  bitterly  against  the  war.  Consequently  he  closed  the 
office  during  the  six  weeks  of  his  stay.  Colonel  Newbold 
so  conducted  himself,  however,  as  to  make  many  warm 
friends,  and  helped  materially  to  change  local  sentiment 
toward  the  Government.  As  a  resident  of  Jonesboro,  still 
living,  has  WTitten,  "the  episode  turned  out  very  well." 

The  Loyalist,  an  extreme  advocate  of  abolitionism,  was 
established  by  George  Brewster  at  Mason,  Efllngham 
County,  in  April,  1863.  His  radical  utterances  caused  bitter 
feeling,  and  in  nine  months  resulted  in  his  being  forced  to 
leave.  He  was  allowed  to  remove  his  establishment.  The 
Picket  Guard  of  Chester  suffered  more  severely  on  the  other 
side.  John  R.  Shannon,  the  editor,  found  fault  vituper- 
atively  with  the  measures  adopted  to  suppress  the  rebellion. 
He  became  so  e.vtremely  abusive  that  a  body  of  soldiers 
broke  into  the  office  in  July,  1864,  and  threw  the  type  into 
the  streets.  The  press  was  not  seriously  injured,  and  the 
office  was  refitted."  At  Olney  the  Democratic  press  was 
broken  up  by  a  mob  of  soldiers  and  its  publication  was  dis- 
continued. A  similar  explosion  of  wrath  at  Maroa  hung 
fire  until  1S67.  There  one  T.  J.  Sharp  began  a  Democratic 
TimeSj  in  January.  His  published  expressions  of  discontent 
with  the  results  of  the  war  brought  him  into  collision  with 
various  citizens,  by  whom  he  was  badly  beaten  on  November 
27  and  ordered  to  leave  town.  He  did  so,  leaving  also  his 
printing  equipment.*'    Other  papers  than  these  mentioned

escaped  similar  treatment  by  temporary  suspensions  or  by 
change  of  editors  or  policies. 

Several  instances  of  threatened  violence  to  editors  or 
their  establishments  which  occurred  previous  to  this  time 
are  mentioned  here  for  want  of  a  better  place.  The  earliest, 
probably,  was  that  in  Vandalia  in  February,  1823,  which 
has  already  been  discussed."  The  Uiinois  Republican  at 
Springfield,  an  energetic  Democratic  paper  to  which  Stephen

Stress  of  public  opinion,  was  a  part  of  the  lawlessness  that 
resulted  in  the  death  of  Joseph  and  Hyrum  Smith.  •  In  1844 
the  despotism  of  Joseph  Smith,  leader  of  the  Mormons  in 
Hancock  County,  with  Nauvoo  as  their  holy  city,  became 
unbearable  to  a  considerable  number  of  his  followers,  who 
revolted.  In  order  to  publish  the  causes  of  their  revolt  and 
to  disclose  the  iniquities  of  Smith  and  Iiis  Danite  band  and 
other  new  ecclesiastical  inventions,  these  men  established  a 
newspaper,  the  Nauvoo  Expositor.  The  first  and  only  issue 
appeared  Friday,  June  7,  1844.  It  was  published  by  Wil- 
liam Law,  Wilson  Law,  Charles  Ivins,  Francis  M.  Higbce, 
Chaunccy  L.  Higbee,  Robert  D.  Foster,  and  Charles  A. 
Foster,  with  Sylvester  Emmons  as  editor,  and  contains  the 
preamble,  resolutions,  and  affidavits  of  the  seceders  from 
the  church  at  Nauvoo.  On  June  10  the  city  council 
declared  the  Expositor  a  nuisance  and  directed  the  mayor 
to  have  the  establishment  removed,  which  he  did."  For 
this  destructive  act  Joseph  Smith  and  sixteen  others  were, 
after  a  week's  delay,  arrested  on  a  charge  of  riot.  ''After  a 
long  and  close  examination  they  were  all  discharged."  •' 
In  the  meantime  the  dissenting  publishers  of  the  Expositor, 
apparently  not  awaiting  the  pretty  farce  by  which  Smith's 
mayor  and  magistrate  gave  a  resemblance  of  legal  consider-

ation  and  approval  to  the  acts  destroying  the  paper,  had 
taken  themselves  safely  away.  Smith's  paper  records  their 
flight  by  noting  that  the  persons  concerned  in  the  Expositor 
have  all  left  Nauvoo,  and  that  the  guilty  fieeth  when  no  man 
pur  sit  elk.*' 

The  war  played  an  important  part  not  only  in  the  changes 
that  came  in  the  character,  number,  and  circulation  of 
papers;  it  was  more  or  less  directly  the  cause  of  three  im- 
portant items  in  the  development  of  the  machinery  of  news- 
gathering  and  newspaper  making.  These  were  the  inven- 
tions of  the  patent  inside,  the  organization  of  the  business 
that  became  the  Western  News  Company,  and  the  formation 
of  the  Western  Associated  Press. 

In  July,  1861,  A.  N.  Kellogg,  publisher  of  the  Baraboo, 
Wisconsin,  Republic,  finding  that  in  consequence  of  the 
enlistment  of  his  patriotic  journeymen  he  would  be  unable 
to  issue  a  full  sheet  on  the  regular  day,  ordered  of  the  Daily 
Journal  office  at  Madison  a  number  of  half-sheet  supple- 
ments printed  on  both  sides  with  war  news  to  fold  with 
his  own  half-sheets.  While  mailing  his  edition  it  occurred 
to  him  that  if  the  awkward  fact  of  his  paper's  being  in 
two  pieces  could  be  obviated  an  excellent  paper  could 
be  regularly  Issued  with  a  decided  saving  of  labor  and 
expense.  As  a  consequence,  he  issued,  on  July  12,  1861, 
the  first  sheet  with  "patent  inside."  The  idea  was  at  once 
taken  up  by  the  Madison  Journal^  then  by  the  Milwaukee 
Wisc(msin,  and  in  August,  1865,  by  Mr.  Kellogg  himself  in 
Chicago.  G.  F.  Kimball  of  the  Belleville  Advocate  began 
to  print  insides  in  1866.*"  By  1880  twenty-one  establish- 
ments were  supplying  3,238  papers,  most  of  them  in  the

western  states.  Although  the  iHca  originated  in  Wisconsin 
and  has  been  developed  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  Kellogg 
and  Chicago  have  remained  the  center  of  the  industry^ 
which  has  grown  to  enormous  size. 

As  Chicago  was  the  center  of  the  patent  inside  industry, 
it  was  natural  that  Illinois  newspapers  should  make  nr^ore 
general  use  of  the  idea  than  those  of  other  states.  The 
effect  was  not  marked  in  the  first  few  years,  but  by  the  later 
seventies  nearly  one-half  of  the  smaller  country  weeklies 
were  "co-operative,"  to  use  the  word  by  which  such  papers 
were  designated  in  the  newspaper  directories.  Many  of 
them,  no  doubt,  would  not  have  been  established  had  not 
this  invention  greatly  reduced  the  cost  of  production. 

The  Western  News  Company  grew  out  of  the  system  or- 
ganized by  a  young  and  energetic  Chicago  newsdealer,  John 
R.  Walsh,  to  build  up  a  business  on  the  increased  demand  for 
prompt  delivery  of  newspapers  and  periodicals  due  to  the 
war  excitement.  The  system  that  now  distributes  nearly 
all  of  the  copies  of  the  larger  papers  in  the  country  was  begun 
by  James  Gordon  Bennett,  with  the  New  York  Herald,  in 
1835.  Out  of  his  idea  grew  the  American  News  Company 
and  rivals,  most  of  which  were  absorbed.  Until  1861  the 
business  of  distributing  not  only  New  York,  but  Chicago 
papers  was  carried  on  by  that  company  willi  headquarters 
in  New  York  City.  In  that  year,  however,  Walsh  opened  a 
news  depot  in  Chicago  to  capture  the  business  of  the  middle 
west,  and  commenced  to  supply  the  outlying  towns  of 
Illinois,  Wisconisin.  Minnesota,  and  Iowa.  Newsdealers 
in  those  states  soon  found  that  they  could  get  their  news- 
papers from  Walsh  twelve  hours  earlier  than  from  the 
American  News  Company,  and  twenty-four  hours  earlier 
than  by  mail."'    Walsh  soon  had  all  of  the  business,  and  kept

it  throughout  the  war.  By  this  time  he  was  distributing 
fully  one-half  of  the  total  issue  of  the  Tribune  and  the  Times.*^ 
This  competition  led  to  negotiations  which  resulted,  in  1866, 
in  the  absorption  of  his  business  by  the  older  company,  of 
which  it  became  the  first  branch,  with  Walsh  as  manager. 

The  war  had  brought  prosperity  to  the  Chicago  papers, 
and  had  shown  very  clearly  the  need,  in  that  news  center, 
of  a  press  association  which  would  do  for  the  Chicago  and 
other  middle  western  papers  what  the  American  News 
Association  was  doing  for  those  of  New  York.  On  the 
initiative  largely  of  Joseph  Medill,  of  the  Chicago  Tribune, 
a  meeting  was  held  at  Louisville,  Kentucky,  on  November 
22  and  23,  1865,  at  which  the  Western  Associated  Press  was 
formed.  Horace  White,  managing  editor  of  the  Tribune^ 
was  made  a  member  of  the  executive  committee. 

The  forming  of  this  association  not  only  meant  co-op- 
erative use  of  telegraph  news  among  the  papers  that  held 
membership,  but,  also  through  co-operation  with  the  New 
York  Association,  it  greatly  broadened,  at  a  minimum  cost, 
the  news  resources  of  both  the  western  and  the  eastern 
papers.  Without  such  associations  the  telegraph  would 
never  have  been  able  to  keep  pace  with  the  demands  of  the 
press,  and  the  telegraphic  news  service  of  anything  like  the 
scope  attained  even  by  1870  would  have  been  possible  only 
for  the  largest  and  wealthiest  papers.  The  elTect  of  this 
organization  and  its  successor,  the  Associated  Press,  upon 
the  number  of  papers  fully  equipped  with  news  service, 
particularly  the  daily  papers,  of  course,  is  not  to  be  over- 
looked. One  direct  result  was  to  make  a  close  corporation 
of  the  newspapers  already  existing  in  any  particular  place, 
and  to  render  it  almost  impossible  to  start  a  new  newspaper

that  could  compete  with  them,  inasmuch  as  the  newspaper 
could  not  get  the  Associated  Press  dispatches  without  their 
consent." 

Immediately  following  the  close  of  the  war  there  was  a 
serious  decline  in  newspaper  prosperity.  The  number  of 
papers  started  year  by  year  at  this  time  increases,  but  the 
figures  do  not  signify  healthy  growth.  The  Chicago  papers 
declined  in  circulation  to  a  point  not  much  beyond  that  of 
1861,  and  never  fully  regained  their  circulation  until  after 
the  fire.  The  papers  of  the  larger  towns,  owing  to  improved 
telegraphic  se^^^cc,  the  rapid  growth  of  the  towns,  and  other 
causes,  did  not  suffer  severely.  The  country  press,  on  the 
whole,  however,  began  then  a  decline  in  quality  that  has 
continued  to  a  large  extent  to  the  present  time.  That 
decline  is  not  quantitative;  it  does  not  include  many  of  the 
daily  papers,  nor  by  any  means  all  of  the  country  weeklies 
in  the  stale.  But  the  increasing  encroachment  of  the  dailies 
of  Chicago  and  the  other  larger  cities  of  the  state  have  taken 
away  much  of  the  prosperity  and  the  influence  of  a  large 
proportion  of  the  country  press,  the  quality  of  which  has 
consequently  declined. 

In  spite  of  the  various  causes  that  operated  against  the 
newspapers  between  i860  and  1870,  however,  there  was  a 
remarkable  increase  in  their  number.  The  census  returns 
for  i860  show  a  total,  of  all  classes,  of  286,  of  which  twenty- 
three  were  dailies,  six  tri-weeklies,  two  semi-weeklies,  238 
weeklies,  and  seventeen  monthlies."*  By  1870  these  figures 
had  grown  to  thirty-nine  dailies,  ten  triweeklies,  four  semi- 
weeklies,  364  weeklies,  eleven  semi-monthlies,  seventy-two 
monthlies,  and  three  quarterlies— a  total  of  505,  a  remarkable

increase  over  the  286  in  i860.  Perhaps  the  most  noticeable 
features  o(  this  comparison  are  the  slight  increase  in  dailies 
and  the  great  increase  in  monthlies.  The  actual  numerical 
increase  in  dailies  between  1850  and  i860  was  less  by  only 
one  paper  than  that  between  i860  and  1870.  The  addi- 
tional monthly  publications,  largely  in  Chicago,  were  one 
of  the  indications  of  the  growing  importance  of  that  city  as 
a  publishing  center. 

FROM  187 1  TO  1879 

The  very  bulk  of  the  issue  of  the  newspaper  and  periodical 
press  in  the  last  decade  to  be  considered  makes  impossible 
here  a  treatment  much  more  than  merely  statistical  This 
was  a  time  of  great  numerical  increase;  it  comprehends  the 
great  Chicago  fire  of  October,  1871 ;  the  dismal  year  of  1876, 
perhaps  the  worst  in  the  whole  history  of  Illinois  newspapers; 
the  rise  of  the  daily  to  great  importance;  and  the  growth 
of  the  Chicago  press  into  truly  ''metropolitan"  proportions. 

The  whole  list  for  1870  was  505."  The  following  decade 
more  than  doubled  that,  showing  in  1880  a  total  of  1,017, 
divided  into  seventy-four  dailies,  sLx  triweeklies,  seventeen 
semi-weeklies,  758  weeklies,  eighteen  semi-monthlies,  118 
monthlies,  and  twenty-two  quarterlies.  The  number  of 
papers  in  the  state  each  year  of  this  decade  is  shown  by 
Rowell's  newspaper  directory  to  have  been  as  follows:** 
1870,  422;  1871,  499;  1S72,  518;  1873,  544;  1874,  588; 
1875,  642;  1876,  707;  1877,  709;  1878,  716;  1879,  732; 
1880,  832.     It  will  be  noticed  that  1877  had  but  two  more

papers  than  1876.  In  the  United  States  as  a  whole  there 
were  one  hundred  and  seventy-one  fewer  newspapers  at  the 
beginning  of  1877  than  there  were  one  year  earlier.  "It  is 
apparent,"  wrote  Rowell's  editor  in  1877,  "that  the  last 
twelve  months  have,  in  a  financial  sense,  been  unusually 
unsatisfactory  to  newspaper  publishers.  Partly  by  reason 
of  the  excitements  and  hopes  incidental  to  a  national  election 
of  an  unaccustomed  order,  a  sufficient  number  of  news- 
papers have  come  into  being  to  have  maintained  the  total 
number  reported  in  1876,  had  there  not  been,  in  addition 
to  the  eventual  suspension  of  many  of  the  newspapers,  also 
an  unusual  mortality  among  those  already  established. 
Journalistic  prosperity,  however,  is  not  to  be  judged  by  the 
number  of  papers  that  are  established  within  a  given  period, 
but  by  the  number  that  maintain  their  existence;  and  the 
centennial  year  has  undeniably  been  one  of  extended  pecu- 
niary oppression  among  the  men  that  publish  papers." 
This  "pecuniary  oppression"  seems  to  have  dwelt  most 
heavily  on  the  dailies,  which  were  reduced  in  number  from 
fifty  in  1876  to  forty-seven  in  1877. 

The  Chicago  publishing  equipment  was  almost  totally 
destroyed  by  the  fire  of  October  9-12,  1871,  in  which  every 
newspaper  establishment  was  burned  out.  Yet  the  larger 
daily  papers  all  appeared,  in  small  sheets,  within  forty-eight 
hours.  The  Journal  issued  an  extra,  a  small  three-column 
sheet  printed  on  one  side,  on  October  9;  the  issue  of 
October  10,  printed  at  a  small  job  office  that  had  been 
spared  by  the  flames,  announced  that  the  Evening  Post 
would  be  issued  that  day,  and  that  the  Tribune  would  be 
issued  on  the  next,  October  ii.  The  Inier-Ocean  got  out 
a  number  on  October  10;  the  Republican  and  the  Mail 
appeared  on  the  12th.    No  important  daily  paper  suspended

publication  permanently  on  account  of  the  fire,  but  a  number 
of  weekly  and  monthly  periodicals  were  never  revived. 
Others,  especially  several  that  had  New  York  offices,  were 
moved  to  that  city.  As  an  early  consequence  of  the  fire, 
therefore,  the  number  of  publications  in  the  city  was  con- 
siderably reduced.  But  those  that  remained  partook  of 
the  great  revival  of  the  city  as  a  whole;  out  of  the  ashes  grew 
the  great  and  real  prosperity  of  the  Chicago  dailies,  and  of 
the  Chicago  press  in  general. 

The  increase  in  the  daily  press  in  this  decade  is  important 
numerically.     The  totals  for  each  year  are :

The  slow  growth  of  daily  newspapers  until  toward  the 
end  of  the  period  contrasts  sharply  with  their  rapid  increase 
later.  In  fact,  the  close  of  the  decade  marks  the  real  be- 
ginning of  their  most  rapid  growth  in  the  state  at  large. 
This  growth  is  naturally  affected  directly  by  the  increase  of 
population  in  the  towns.  The  minimum  population  on 
which  a  daily  can  be  supported  was  once  set  by  Horace 
Greeley  at  about  ten  thousand,  hut  at  the  time  he  gave  that

testimony  there  were  papers  in  this  country  supported  by 
communities  of  less  than  half  that  size.  Since  that  time  the 
number  has  considerably  decreased,  so  far  as  the  town  of 
publication  is  concerned;  but  taken  in  connection  with  the 
rural  population  upon  which  the  small  dalies  have  come 
more  and  more  to  depend,  the  decrease  has  been  slight.  At 
present,  indeed,  it  is  apparently  increasing,  rather  than 
diminishing.  The  relation  of  population  to  daily  papers  in 
Illinois  in  1880  was  shown  by  the  census  report  as  follows:

The  daily  papers  of  the  state  have  shown  a  tendency 
steadily  toward  afternoon  rather  than  morning  issues. 
That  tendency  first  took  definite  form  in  this  decade  be- 
tween 187 1  and  1880.  At  the  beginning  of  it,  the  numbers 
of  morning  and  afternoon  issues  in  the  state  were  almost 
equal.  Of  the  forty-two  downstate  dailies  in  1878,  thirteen 
were  morning  and  twenty-nine  were  evening.     In  Chicago,

eight  were  morning  and  four  were  evening.  The  tendency 
in  the  smaller  cities  has  continued  toward  evening  papers." 
This  is  doubtless  due  to  the  growth  and  the  improved  dis- 
tributing facilities  of  the  Chicago  and  St.  Louis  morning 
papers,  and  to  the  cheap  "pony"  news  service  offered  by 
the  Scripps-McRae,  and,  later,  the  United  Press  Associa- 
tions, as  well  as  others  that  have  been  organized  since  lyoo. 
On  the  other  hand,  since  1900  there  has  been  an  increase 
in  the  number  and  importance  of  downstate  morning  dailies. 
This  increase  has  come  from  cities  which  have  become  large 
enough  to  support  papers  holding  Associated  Press  fran- 
chises. These  papers  are,  as  afternoon  papers  are  not,  able 
to  compete  with  the  Chicago  papers,  and  will  doubtless  be  an 
increasingly  important  feature  of  Illinois  journalism  as  the 
number  of  larger  cities  in  the  state  is  augmented.  At  the 
same  time  the  situation  is  complicated  by  the  help  being 
rendered  the  afternoon  papers  by  more  efficient  telegraphic 
news  service,  and  by  the  greatly  increasing  importance  of 
the  telephone  as  an  ally  of  the  afternoon  press. 

The  lower  price  that  came  with  the  general  introduc- 
tion of  wood-pulp  in  the  manufacture  of  paper,  and  the  in- 
creased activity  in  the  patent-inside  industry  helped  upward 
the  figures  of  both  daily  and  weekly  papers.  The  decline 
in  the  quality  of  many  of  the  country  weeklies,  mentioned 
in  the  next  preceding  section,  was  remarkable  in  this  last 
decade.    This  came  with  the  more  general  use  of  the  patent

inside,  which  convenience  was,  by  the  later  seventies,  used 
by  nearly  one-half  of  the  weeklies  in  the  smaller  towns. 
The  patent  inside  was  chiefly  used  by  papers  newly 
starting  in  business;  but  it  has  no  doubt  prolonged  the  life 
of  many  a  paper  that  would  otherwise  have  suffered  ex- 
tinction, perhaps  not  in  all  cases  undeserved.  There  was 
something  to  be  said  in  favor  of  the  patent  inside;  more,  of 
course,  before  the  development  of  the  stereotyped  plate 
matter  which  has  almost  entirely  superseded  the  earlier 
scheme  of  economy,  than  later.  It  supplied  material  often 
of  a  respectable  quality  which  would  otherwise  have  been 
out  of  reach  of  the  country  editor.  Matter  of  special  interest 
and  often  of  value  to  the  country  population  was  thus  fur- 
nished; good  fiction  and  less  good  was  disseminated.  But 
granting  the  patent  inside  full  credit  of  economy,  convenience, 
and  respectability,  it  nevertheless  lowered  the  quality  of  the 
country  weekly.  Up  to  the  time  of  the  Civil  War,  however 
violent  or  crude  the  tone  in  many  instances,  the  country  press 
had  individuality  of  character,  and  in  its  own  community 
was  as  real  and  definite  a  force  as  the  great  papers  of  the  era 
of  personal  journalism  were  in  larger  spheres.  More  than 
half  of  the  influence  of  the  paper  was  dissipated  when  half 
of  its  pages  were  filled  and  printed  by  "outsiders."  It  does 
not  seem  that  this  should  necessarily  have  been  true,  for  the 
editor  still  had  two  pages  at  his  command;  but  it  was  true, 
nevertheless.  Many  papers,  indeed,  kept  aloof  from  the 
patent  inside,  retained  their  individuality  —  and  their 
advertising  space  —  and  have  steadily  improved,  as  the 
press  as  a  whole  has  improved;  others  have  grown  into 
dailies;  still  others,  after  more  or  less  brief  careers  as  "co- 
operatives," have  recovered  their  individuality,  and  become 
again  "all  home  print."    But  it  must  be  recorded  that  in 


ILLINOIS  mSTORICAL  COLLECTIONS 


the  years  just  following  the  war  there  began  in  Illinois  that 
class  of  papers  which,  unlike  many  that  preceded  the  war 
or  survived  it,  are  of  mere  numerical  importance  in  the  story 
of  the  Illinois  press.  That  class  grew  and  flourished  most 
numerously  in  this  period  between  1870  and  1880. 

The  numerical  increase  was  fostered  also  by  a  usage 
developed  in  this  decade  by  which  papers  for  small  towns 
in  surrounding  territory  were  printed  at  a  central  office.  A 
typical  instance  Ls  that  of  the  Jolict  Phoenix,  which  was  the 
home  office  of  a  brood  of  Phoenixes  bearing  date-lines  of 
Lockport,  Wilmington,  Lemont,  Braidwood,  Peotone,  and 
Plainfield.  Such  papers  have  at  least  three  pages  in  common. 
A  local  editor  supplies  some  news  from  each  town,  which, 
with  the  name,  is  all  of  the  one  paper  that  differs  from  all  the 
others. 

Another  mechanical  aid  to  the  development  of  the  news- 
paper industry  which  was  contributed  by  Illinois  in  this 
period,  was  the  folder,  which  made  the  web  perfecting  press 
a  possibility.  The  invention  was  made  by  Walter  Scott, 
who  was  at  that  time  foreman  of  the  machinery  department 
of  the  Chicago  Inltr-Ocean.  The  Bullock  presses  of  the 
establishment  were  promptly  equipped  wnXh.  the  new  inven- 
tion, and  thus  the  Inter-Ocean  was  the  first  paper  to  be 
printed  on  a  perfecting  press. ^*' 

The  political  aspect  of  the  period  will  have  to  be  passed 
entirely,  except  for  a  word  concerning  the  Granger  move- 
ment and  the  Greenback  party,  which  stirred  the  press, 
usually  the  rural  press,  of  the  country  In  the  late  seventies 
and  early  eighties. 

Perhaps  a  score  of  Illinois  papers  supported  Greeley  in 
1872,  including  such  influential  ones  as  the  Chicago  Tribune 

'"  D.  W.  LuftW,  Politics  and  Politiciaru  of  lUinois,  514.

and  Belleville  Zeitung.  Of  these  a  considerable  number 
then  became  identified  with  the  Granger  movement ;  within 
1873  and  1874  several  new  Granger  and  ant i- monopolist 
papere  were  started,  but  most  of  the  supporters  of  these 
causes  were  recruits  from  the  old  parties.  Such  papers 
were  to  be  found  at  Macomb,  Bloomington,  Salem,  Oregon, 
Decatur,  Hillsboro,  Woodstock,  and  elsewhere.  Usually 
the  Granger  papers  lasted  but  two  years,  some  not  so  long, 
a  few  considerably  longer.  At  least  half  of  them  had  become 
Greenback  before  1876,  and,  with  others,  brought  to  the 
support  of  Peter  Cooper  at  least  thirty  papers  in  the  state. 
Some  of  these  had  rather  fantastic  idiosyncrasies.  The 
Unicorn  Greenback  at  Barry  was  written  almost  entirely  in 
verse;  the  Greenback  Gazette  at  Chester  was  printed  on  green 
paper.  There  was  a  lull  in  Greenback  journalism  between 
1876  and  1878,  but  in  the  latter  year  and  1879  sixteen  new 
papers,  and  as  many  other  recruits,  together  with  those  that 
had  survived  from  before  the  earlier  campaign,  gave  Weaver 
the  support  of  forty  papers  in  Illinois,  including  such  as  the 
Pontiac  Free  Trader,  Morgan  Monitor  of  Jacksonville, 
Golden  Era  of  McLeansboro,  and  New  Era  of  Woodstock 
which  were  not  originally  Greenback.  A  considerable  num- 
ber were  established  to  support  that  party,  among  which 
were  Unicom  Greenback,  Barry;  Express  and  Senlind^ 
Chicago;  National  Era,  Danville;  Independent,  Erie; 
Independent,  Grafton;  Local  Leader,  Lexington;  Herald, 
Milford;  Beacon,  Milton;  Reformer,  Morris;  Industrial 
Tribune,  Murphysboro;  Legal  Tender,  Pekin;  Observer, 
Petersburg;  Greenback  Post,  Quincy;  National  Greenbacker 
and  Telephone,  Rochelle;  Re^new,  Roodhouse;  Herald, 
Shelbyville;  Industrial  Banner,  Yates  City.  The  Green- 
back party  thus  brought  into  existence  a  number  of  papers,

nearly  all  short  lived,  and  helped  out  of  existence  certain 
others  which  became  advocates  of  the  fiat  money  idea. 

One  more  discharge  of  statistics,  and  the  array  of  figures 
on  the  press  in  Illinois  at  the  close  of  the  sixty-five  years 
with  which  this  sketch  has  to  do,  will  have  been  shown.  The 
thousand  and  seventeen  papers  in  the  state  left  few  vicinities 
unprovided  with  "the  source  of  American  culture."  No 
county  was  without  its  paper.  Twenty-eight  towns  had 
five  or  more;  twelve  had  four,  thirty-seven  had  three,  ninety- 
three  had  two,  and  one  hundred  and  seventy  municipalities 
were  supplied  each  with  one  newspaper. 

There  were  publications  in  six  languages  at  that  time, 
though  previously  eight  tongues  had  been  represented.  The 
Bohemians  had  four,  one  of  which  was  a  daily;  nine  hun- 
dred and  twenty,  including  sixty-three  dailies,  were  printed 
in  Engish;  one  was  printed  in  French  and  two  in  Polish; 
there  were  nine  dailies  and  sixty-one  other  papers  in  German, 
and  one  daily  and  nineteen  others  in  the  Scandinavian 
languages.  In  Chicago  alone  there  were  two  hundred 
and  eighty-nine  newspapers  and  periodicals,  comprised  of 
eighteen  dailies,  one  hundred  and  thirty-eight  weeklies, 
ninety-one  monthlies,  and  forty-two  of  other  periods  of 
publication.  On  another  basis  of  classification,  these  in- 
cluded sixty-three  devoted  to  news  and  politics,  eight  to 
agriculture,  fifty-one  to  commerce  and  trade,  one  to  finance, 
nine  to  literature,^"*  thirty-three  to  religious  purposes,  and  one 
hundred  and  twenty-four  to  a  wide  variety  of  interests,  from 
oriental  archaeology  to  trap  shooting.

INTRODUCTION 


dU 


Of  religious  publications,  four  were  Baptist,  one  Congre- 
gational, two  Disciples,  two  Episcopal,  one  Jewish,  three 
Lutheran,  five  Methodist,  one  Mormon,  two  Presbyterian, 
one  Reformed,  sbc  Roman  Catholic,  one  Adventbt,  one 
Spiritualist,  one  Swedenborgian,  one  United  Brethren,  one 
Unitarian,  one  Universalist,  and  fifteen  non-sectarian. 

A  retrospective  glance  over  the  threescore  and  five  years 
between  1814,  when  the  first  little  three-column  paper  was 
started  at  Kaskaskia,  and  1879,  reveals  but  a  few  more  than 
a  thousand  papers  still  extant  out  of  a  total  of  about  three 
thousand  that  have  furnished  forth  their  salutatories  and 
their  advertising  rates.  But  a  third  of  all  those  hopefully 
begun  have  endured  the  "halcyon  and  vociferous".  The 
newspaper  press  spread  northward  over  the  state  like  a 
prairie  fire;  like  a  fire  it  has  often  flared  and  smoked,  and 
gone  out;  and  one  turns  from  the  record  of  two  thousand 
failures  with  a  fceUng  as  of  stepping  among  a  residue  of 
scorched  bones. 

Yet  the  successes  have  been  more  important  than  the 
failures  have  been  numerous,  and  these  papers,  living  and 
dead,  have  played  an  active  part  in  the  life  and  growth  of 
the  commonwealth.  Long  before  the  close  of  this  period 
there  had  grown  up  a  number  of  strong  and  energetic 
journals,  some  in  every  section  of  the  state,  upon  which  the 
journalistic  honor  of  the  commonwealth  rests  secure.  A 
sketch  as  brief  as  this  is  left  incomplete  because  it  is  without 
a  more  detailed  account  of  the  part  these  papers  have  played 
in  the  growth  of  the  state;  and  especially  without  some 
more  adequate  reference  to  the  men  who  have  made  these 
papers,  and  whose  lives  are  the  best  part  of  the  history  of 
the  Illinois  press.  A  number  of  papers  in  the  state  have 
long  since  passed  the  half-century  mark;  men  are  still  active

fOBTHWESTERN    EDUCATOR   AND    MAGAZINE  OF    LITERATURE   AND 

Science,  January,  1847-1849:  A  monthly,  cdilid  and  published 
by  James  L.  Enos  and  D.  L.  Curtiss.  In  the  issue  of  February, 
1849,  James  L.  Enos  is  given  as  editor  and  publisher.  He  writes 
editorially  in  that  number  concerning  the  influence  of  the  Edu- 
color:  "It  was  commenced  under  the  most  unfavorable  circum- 
stances, in  a  country  where  no  like  publication  had  ever  circu- 
lated, where  the  people  were  comparatively  little  imbued  with 
a  love  for  education  —  or  at  least,  that  mculcated  by  professional 
teachers — and  with  the  privations  incident  to  a  new  country 
pressing  heavily  upon  them;  yet,  notwithstanding  these  diffi- 
culties, the  influence  of  the  Ediuator  has  steadily  increased,  and 
within  the  last  three  months  the  circulation  has  nearly  doubled." 
The  objects  of  the  magazine  were  to  expose  the  dangers  of  fal- 
lacious theories  of  education,  and  to  set  forth  and  to  defend  the 
true  principles  of  instruction.  Vol.  111,  no.  2  owned  by  Frank

land and  purchased  a  share  in  the  paper,  whereupon  the  issue 
was  made  under  the  auspices  of  Wright,  Medill,  and  Company, 
and  Stephen  J.  Staples  is  specified  in  the  directory  for  1853- 
1854  as  assistant  editor.  On  July  21,  1855,  Thomas  A. 
Stewart  retired  from  the  partnership,  and  September  33,  Dr.  C.  H. 
Ray  and  J.  C.  Vaughn  were  editors.  At  the  same  time  Alfred 
Cowles  became  a  member  of  the  firm,  whicli  was  then  composed 
of  Messrs.  Medill,  Ray,  Wright,  Webster,  Vaughn,  and  Cowles. 
Under  the  vigorous  influence  of  Or.  Ray  the  paper  soon  became 
of  primary  importance  in  Chicago  and  UUnois.  It  was  one  of 
the  first  to  endorse  the  formation  of  the  Republican  party  in 
Illinois,  and  did  much  to  bring  about  the  successful  organiza* 
tion  of  that  party,  and  the  nomination  and  election  of  Lincoln 
in  i860.  March  2(3,  1857,  Mr.  Vaughn  withdrew  and  the  part- 
nership name  became  Ray,  Medill,  and  Company.  In  1858  the 
Triune,  being  consolidated  with  the  DaUy  Democratu:  Press, 
was  known  as  the  Press  and  Tribune,  issued  by  the  proprietors

of  both  papers  (see  Democratic  Press).  In  1861  the  word 
Press  was  dropped  and  the  Tribune  Company  was  organized. 
Scripps,  Bross,  Ray,  Medlll,  and  Cowles  were  the  principal 
stockholders.  In  1861  the  Tribune  absorbed  the  Democrat. 
In  i366  Horace  White,  who  bad  previously  been  connected  with  the 
paper  and  had  acquired  the  stock  of  Mr.  Scripps,  became  editor. 
He  was  succeeded  in  1874  by  Joseph  Mediil.  Under  White  the 
Tribune  had  supported  Horace  Grcclcy,  but  Mediil  brought  it 
back  into  the  Republican  fold,  where  it  has  remained,  though 
manifesting  a  considerable  independence.'  Mr.  Mediil  died  in 
March,  1899,  and  was  succeeded  as  editor  by  R.  W.  Patterson, 
who  was  «litor  until  his  death,  on  April  i,  1910.  The  Tribune 
has  be..-a  since  1908  in  direct  charge  of  MedUI  McCormick.  It 
has  been  a  daily  from  its  beginning.  For  many  years  it  had

with  Benjamin  F.  Taylor  as  editor.  T.  H.  Whijiple  appeared 
as  associate  editor  in  the  same  year.  In  its  weekly  form  the 
Budget  grew  into  a  "literary  journal  of  distinct  merit,"  concen- 
trating its  attention  upon  matters  concerning  the  West.  It  states 
cdiloriall>, '*  A  new  field  is  open  to  authorship.  .  .  .  The  West 
is  full  of  subject-matter  for  legend,  story  or  history.  ...  All 
that  is  lacking  is  a  proper  chaoncl.  This  channel  we  offer.  The 
Budget  claims  to  be  a  western  literary  paper,  and  we  invite 
writers  to  send  us  articles  on  western  subjects,  for  publication." 
The  paper  was  continued  until  1855.  In  the  summer  of  that 
year  Mr.  Dancnhnwer  "became  stale  leader  of  the  'Native 
American'  or  'Know-Nothing'  party,  which  had  during  the  year 
preceding  carried  two  eastern  common wealth.s  and  had  shown 
strength  in  the  middle  slates.  He  announced  that  the  Budget 
would  'close  its  existence,'  that  he  would  'launch  his  bark'  once 
more,  and  tiiat  bis  numerous  readers  would  receive  the  Weekly 
Native  Citizen.  As  a  spokesman  of  the  reaction  against  the 
immigration  due  to  the  Irish  famine  and  the  continental  revo- 
lutions of  1848  and  1849,  he  wrote  vehemently.  With  the 
Budget^ s  last  breath  he  said :  '  We  trust  that  our  future  exertions 
will  be  such  as  lo  exemplify  to  the  world  that  the  pure  fire  of

Chicago  Times.  +June  ao,  i86T-March  4,  1895 +:  After  the 
emancipalion  proclamation,  the  Times  ceased  to  favor  the  prose- 
cution of  the  war,  and  was  bitter  in  its  denunciations  of  Lin- 
Ci^n's  administration.  It  became  such  a  radical  "copperhead 
sheet"  that  General  .\mbrose  E  Bumsidc,  in  command  of  the 
Department  of  the  Northwest,  with  headquarters  at  Cincinnati, 
issued  an  order  for  the  suppression  of  the  Times,  and  the  com- 
mander at  Camp  Dougla.s  was  charged  with  the  execution  of  the 
order.  On  the  niomlng  of  June  3,  186,^,  soldiers  marched  in- 
to the  press  room  and  twik  possession.  Mass  meetings  were  held 
during  ibe  day  in  advocacy  of  free  speech  and  a  free  press.  A 
petition  lo  President  Lincoln  to  revoke  the  order  was  signed  by 
some  of  the  most  prominent  Republicans  and  business  men  of  the 
city,  and  Senator  Lyman  TnimbuU  and  Isaac  N.  Arnold  tele- 
graphed personally  to  Mr.  Lincoln  to  the  same  effect.  The  order 
was  revoked  by  the  President  and  publication  was  resumed  June 
5.  After  the  presidential  campaign  of  1868  the  Times  ceased  to 
be  a  party  organ,  claimed  to  be  Independent,  and  made  many 
vigorous  on.«ilaughts  on  the  Democratic  party.  However,  it 
supported  the  Democratic  candidate.s  of  1876,  1880  and  1884. 
In  the  fall  of  1863,  Franc  B.  Wilkie  joined  the  editorial  stafT,  and 
in  1867  Andre  Matteson  became  a  part  of  the  editorial  force  for 
the  second  time,  .\nanias  Worden  was  manager  from  1861 
to  1865;  H.  B.  Chandler,  1865-1870;  Mr.  Storey  became  sole 
owner  in  1S70,  and  made  A.  L.  Patterson  manager.  The 
establishment  wa.s  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of  1871,  but 
reappeared  very  soon  after.  Mr.  Storey,  who  had  been 
the  leading  spirit  of  the  paper  for  over  twenty  years,  died  in 
October,  1 884 ;  the  paper  went  into  the  hands  of  a  receiver  and  was 
sold  in  1887  to  a  new  Chicago  'I'imes  Company  headed  by  James 
J.  West,  who  was  manager.  He  was  ousted  later,  and  succeeded 
by  Huiskamp  Brothers,  with  Joseph  K.  Dunlap  as  editor.  In 
1891  Carter  H.  Harrison  formed  the  Newspaper  Company  and 
bought  the  Times.  Carter  H.  Hanison,  Jr.,  was  made  business 
manager,  and  Preston  Harrison  managing  editor.  March  4, 
i8giS,it  was  joined  to  the  Ueraid — hence  Times-Herald,  which 
on  March  28,  1901,  was  consolidated  with  the  Record  as  the 
Record-lleraid.  EWDNAHSUC

happy  in  the  position,  and  not  enough  money  was  put  into  the 
enterprise  to  put  it  properly  on  its  feet.  A  brief  suspension  fol- 
lowed the  change  of  management.  The  stock  was  now  con- 
trolled by  Bunn  and  Dubois;  a  new  company  was  formed;  V. 
B.  Densiow  wa.s  made  editor,  George  D.  Williston,  manager,

Western  Montblv,  January,  1 869-December,  1870+:  Estab- 
lished by  H.  V.  Reed.  It  was  "intended  to  be  purely  an  insti- 
tution of  the  West  :  .  .  "  and  was  expected  to  "explore  the 
fields  of  literature  and  gather  the  ripe  fruits  of  .  .  .  pioneer 
talent."  After  a  few  months  Francis  Fisher  Browne  purchased 
an  interest  and  joined  Mr.  Reed  in  conducting  the  magazine. 
Upon  Mr.  Reed's  withdrawal  after  a  time,  Mr.  Browne  became 
sole  director.  Under  his  direction  the  tone  of  the  magazine  be- 
came more  purely  literary  than  it  had  been,  and  the  narrow, 
provincial  tide,  "Western  Monthly,"  was  exchanged  for  one 
which,  without  losing  the  flavor  of  locality,  would  "connote  a 
wide  interest  in  the  esthetic," —  the  Lakeside  Monthly,  HS 

Lakesidf  Monthly,  -h  January,  1871-Fehruary,  1874:  With  in- 
creased influence  and  reputation  under  its  new  name,  which 
replaced  that  of  Western  Monthly,  and  under  the  skilful  editorial 
direction  of  Francis  Fisher  Browne,  the  mapazine  became  the 
nucleus  of  a  large  printing  and  publishing  house.  This  was 
the  Lakeside  Publishing  and  Printing  Company,  successor  to 
the  magazine  company  that  had  issued  the  Western  Monthly, 
and  of  the  printing  firm  of  Church,  Goodman,  and  Donnelley. 
The  success  of  the  Lakeside,  which  retained  a  decidedly  western 
character,  did  much  to  destroy  the  indifference  that  eastern  pub- 
lishers had  shown  toward  western  subjects  and  western  literary 
activity,  an  indifference  that  nettled  Illinois  and  western  literary 
editors  from  James  Hall  down.  "With  the  advent  of  the  Lake- 
side," says  Mr.  Fleming,  "Scribncr's  Monthly,  the  forerunner 
of  the  present  Century, begun  to  give  attention  to  western  subjects, 
and  to  seek  the  work  of  western  writers.  During  the  years  of 
the  Lakeside's  growth  other  eastern  publishers  began  to  glean 
in  Mid-West  fields,  and  the  competition  among  them  for  the 
virile  western  productions,  which  has  since  Ijecome  so  keen,  was 
fairiy  on  by  the  time  the  magazine  had  reached  the  zenith  of  its

of  the  Ledger  stories,  and  the  use  that  the  large  mail-order  houses

unusually  long  life  and  extensive  circulation.

as  a  journal  of  instructive  matter  and  general  news  to  both  con- 
fectionery and  baking  interests.  J.  Thompson  Giil  was  editor 
and  publisher,  1879-1880.  Later,  the  Thompson  Publishing 
Concern  bought  the  paper,  which  it  has  edited  and  published  to 
date,  with  T.  O.  Thompson  as  editor  and  manager.  For  sev- 
eral years  past  it  has  been  devoted  mainly  to  confectionery  inter- 
ests. The  name  seems  to  have  become  Conjedumer  and  Baker 
after  some  years  of  the  paper's  existence.

Western  Magazine.  4-j879-March,  1882+  :  It  had  Ijeen  founded 
three  years  t>efore  at  Omaha.  Upon  its  being  brought  to  Chi- 
cago, Mrs.  Helen  Elkin  Starrett  became  the  editor.  It  was, 
according  to  the  sub-title,  "a  literar>'  monthly."  It  con- 
tained departments  designated  as  "  Original "  and  ''  Eclectic," 
devoted  to  literary  and  historical  matters;  also,  later,  a  depart- 
ment called  the  "Club."  consecrated  to  social  and  economic 
interests.  The  broad  and  progressive  policy  of  the  magazine 
won  general  approval,  and  when  by  merging  with  the  AUiance 
in  1882  it  added  Rev.  David  Swing  to  its  list  of  regular  con- 
tributors, its  outlook  was  more  than  ever  promiang.  The 
Weekly  Afagaziru  published  its  first  number  May  6,  1S82,  an- 
nouncing that  "We  have  believed  from  the  first  that  there  is 
need  and  a  demand  for  a  low-priced  periodical  to  supply  a  kind 
of  reading  differing  like  the  magazinu  from  the  newspaper  in  its 
greater  dcliberateness  and  eamcslncss,  and  yet  without  those 
qualities  of  cumbrousness  and  cxtcnsiveness  common  to  the 
magazines."  Although  many  contributors  of  high  rank  were 
engaged,  under  the  same  bu.siness  management  that  ruined  the 
Aliitimc,  the  new  Weekly  Magazine  ended  its  career  in  bank- 
ruptcy in  1884.  WH

Sunday  school  paper.  Rev.  A.  T.  McDiIl  was  editor ;  Morrison, 
McCoy  and  McDIll  were  publishers.  Several  scattered  numbers 
for  1879  in  the  Chicago  Historical  Society  library  arc  included  in 
volume  21,  thus  fixiiig  the  dale  of  establishment  as  1859.  Since 
this  paper  is  nowhere  found  dated  earlier  than  1879,  it  seenis 
probable  that  it  was  founded  elsewhere  and  moved  to  Chicago 
in  the  late  seventies.  H

Republican  Advocate.  February  27, 1823-March  a,  1824 +  :  A  pro- 
slavery  paper  established  and  nominally  edited  by  R.  K.  Fleming. 
Elias  Kent  Kaoc  seems  to  have  been  the  real  editor  until  he  was 
elected  to  the  Senate  in  1824,  after  which  time  John  Reynolds 
was  probably  in  control.  The  paper  was  in  favor  of  a  conven- 
tion in  1824  and  of  slavery,  but  was  open  to  letters  against 
both  causes.  It  supported  Crawford.  With  the  number  for 
January  2a,  1S34,  the  editorship  passed  to  William  Orr,  who 
changi-d  the  title  to  F 

Kaskaskia  Republican,  +March  9,  i8a4-i825(?):  William  Orr

The  paper  was  still  being  published  in  October,  but  was  tem- 
porarily discontinued,  probably  in  1825.     After  a  period  of  sus 
pension  it  was  revived  as  ASF 

Illinois  Reporter,  i826-i82g(?}:  William  Orr  was  editor.  He 
denied  af&iialion  with  any  party  in  (he  State,  and  felt  impelled 
lo  rally  the  virtuous  and  intelligent  to  the  standard  of  another 
party.  Apparently  his  rally  was  not  successful,  for  he  sold  to 
Sidney  Breeze  within  a  few  months  —  in  June  or  July.  Under 
Breeze  the  paper  supported  the  administration  and  Daniel  P. 
Cook,  though  Breeze  had  been  a  Jackson  man.  L.  O.  Schradcr 
was  Breeze's  publisher  for  a  while,  and  was  probably  succeeded 
in  1828  by  R.  K.  Fleming  A 

Western  Democrat,  August  19,  1829-1830+ :  Established  by  R.

tiser for  August  31,  receipt  of  the  first  number,  saying,  "This  is 
the  sixth  paper  now  published  in  Illinois."  The  editorial  ad- 
dress includca,  "As  we  published,  in  this  state,  pending  the  late

presidential  canvass,  the  only  paptir  which  took  a  decided  stand 
in  favor  of  the  successful  competitor  for  the  first  office  in  the 
nation,  it  will  scarcely  be  expected  by  those  who  were,  of  right, 
in  the  opposition,  that  we  should  now  retrace  our  steps  .  .  .  etc." 
Although  Fleming  was  printer,  and  the  only  person  whose  name 
appeared  on  the  paper,  it  is  clear  that  Sidney  Breeze  was  really 
editor.  He  wrote  to  Ninian  Edwards  September  21,  1830:  "If 
I  remain  in  puliiirs  I  am  determined  lo  make  Gov.  Reynolds 
chocse  between  Smith  ana  myself,  in  other  words  between  the 
Crisis  and  Democrat.  .  .  .  Do  give  your  views  of  them,  edito- 
rially, thro'  me,  in  the  Democrat."  The  paper  supported  Rey- 
nolds for  governor.  Title  changed  to  A 
Kaskaskia  Deuocsat,  -Hjanuary  2,  1830-1831:  In  the  issue  for 
November  27,  1830  (vol.  2,  no.  9)  the  editor  announced  that 
the  paper  had  300  subscribers.  In  the  Western  Ploughboy  for 
January  34,  1832,  a  news  item  reveals  that  "the  Kaskaskia 
Democrat  has  been  discontinued."  A  file,  in  two  bound  volumes, 
was  in  the  library  of  Judge  Sidney  Breeze  at  the  time  of  his 
death,  but  it  has  not  been  recendv  located.                               AM

partnership  was  dissolved  and  James  Hall  took  the  place  of 
Kimmel  as  partner  in  the  publishing,  and  as  editor.  This  ar- 
rangement continued  until  Novemlwr  16,  1822.  when  Hall  vn'lh- 
drew;  with  the  number  for  November  23  C.  Jones  became 
publisher  and  Henry  Eddy  editor  and  proprietor.  Eddy  sold  a 
half  interest  to  John  Foliart,  who  became  publisher,  with  Eddy, 
as  John  Foliart  and  Company, on  February  11, 1826.  They  sold 
October  18,  i8a8,  to  Alexander  F.  Grant,  who  conducted  tlie

ably near  the  end  of  the  paper's  career.  Under  Eddy  and  Kim- 
mel the  CazeUi  was  alive  and  fairly  vigorous.  Hall  made  it  per- 
haps the  best  edited  paper  in  the  state,  tvith  the  possible  exception 
of  the  EdwardsviUe  Spectator.  He  preserved  a  neutral  position 
in  politics  for  some  time,  and  at  all  times  kept  the  columns  open 
to  discu-ssion.  But  after  he  became  familiar  with  stale  politics 
the  polilical  lone  was  vigorous.'  Hall  gave  the  paper  a  very

January',  1833,  Judge  Hall  moved  to  Cincinnati,  where  he  pub- 
lished Thi  iVesitrrn  Monthly  Afagazine,  a  Continuation  of  the 
Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  until  Defember,  1835.  Hall  was  the 
chief  contributor,  and  in  such  arlides  as  Notes  on  Illinois,  People 
and  Manners,  and  Customs  of  the  West,  and  in  essays  un  educa- 
tional topics,  stories  such  as  The  Missionaries,  The  Indian  Wife's 
Lament,  The  Money  Diggers,  and  many  puems,  he  realized  tlie 
ideal  suggested  in  an  article  on  Periodicals  which  he  published 
in  the  numljer  for  April,  1831 :  "Our  editors  have  become  too 
formal  and  stately,  and  fastidious.  .  .  ,  Instead  of  the 
infinite  variety  of  topics,  which  once  gave  interest  to  works  of 
this  description,  nothing  is  now  admitted  but  reviews,  tales  and 
poetry.  .  ,  .  Nothing  will  go  down  but  trifles,  cold,  formal, 
and  empty.  ...  1  am  much  better  pleased  with  the  good 
old-fa.'ihioned  magazines  ....  within  whose  well  furnished 
pages,  the  reader,  whatever  might  be  his  taste,  was  sure  to  End 
something  agreeable."  Among  those  who  helped  to  satisfy  in 
the  |>ages  of  the  Monthly  the  varied  tastes  of  Itlinoisans  were 
Morris  Birkbeck,  John  Sf.  Peck,  Governor  Edward  Coles,  Dr. 
Asa  Fitch,  George  Russell,  and  Salmon  P.  Chase.  "The  Illi- 
nois Monthly  Magazine  was  one  of  the  most  tj'pical  of  the  western 
journals,"  remarks  William  C.  Cairns,  in  his  monograph  On 
the  Dci'clopmnit  oj  American  Literature  jrom  18 1$  to  l8^J. 
"  Raw  and  crude  as  the  West  was,  there  is  a  fin  de  siicle  tone 
to  these  publications  that  is  not  found  in  the  eastern  magazines."
