PREFACE
As first planned, this work was to include by way of in-
troduction a fairly comprehensive history of the periodicals
and newspapers of the state. The bibliography grew be-
yond the expected size, and the historical material proved
even more abundant; consequently the introduction has
been made only a sketch, and is to be regarded as but
preliminary to a more thorough treatment of the subject.
It is to be hoped, however, that even in this brief form
it may indicate some of the many ways hi which the
ephemeral stuff of newspapers and periodicals is an organic
part of the literature and history of the commonwealth.
That but a slight amount of this material is preserved at all,
and that little of what is extant is accessible, are two deplor-
able facts to be derived from the following pages. The
library lists may prove convenience to those who have
occasion to consult files c early newspapers. If they serve
no other purpose, however, they may call attention to the
slight amount of such material now in the safe keeping of
fireproof library buildings, and may indirectly help to rescue
from attics and storerooms the dwindling legacy that is food
for mice and flames.
The sources of the bibliography include practically all
of the printed county histories and "biographical albums"
and some in manuscript; the proceedings of state, county,

and city historical societies, histories of Illinois and of towns ;
gazetteers, early 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 1880 this date
had receded to 1864, and, gaining momentum, by 1881 had
gone to 1 86 1. Sometimes these dates are changed arbi-
trarily; more often, though, antiquity is acquired by fasten-
ing paternity upon some preceding 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 my 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 sketch a
historical background for the disconnected bibliographical
material which forms the body of this work. It is not in-
tended as a history of the newspapers and periodicals of
Illinois; but, as one of our county historians has said, the
newspaper business with us has been a " halcyon and vocif-
erous proceeding," and some outline such as this may be
needed to find the halcyon if not the vociferous in the life
history of our newspapers and periodicals. Especially is it
purposed to deal with the beginnings in Illinois journalism,
and to a less extent to suggest the relation of the newspaper
to the manifold successive elements that have entered in the
making of the state — population, transportation, communi-
cation, politics, education, and other materials and methods
of economic and social development; and to record some
important tendencies and certain isolated facts not now
conveniently accessible elsewhere.
The conditions under which the first Illinois newspaper
was established, in 1814, included many disadvantages,
which made any other than a meager and tenuous subsistence
for it impossible. The population was small and widely
distributed ; the means of communication were merely rudi-
mentary and frequently inoperative; and both money and
labor were exceedingly scarce. That a newspaper was
started as early as 1814 was due not so much to business as
to political reasons: there was United States and territorial
XXV
xxvi ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
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 1813, but with the cessation of Indian raids after
the close of the war of 1812, and the passage of the pre-
emption act of 1813, a new epoch in immigration began.1
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.2
Gallatin, with Shawneetown as its chief village, was the most
populous county on the east side of the territory. As late
as 1818 it contained but thirty-two hundred persons.8
Shawneetown, where the second paper in the state was
established, numbered between thirty and forty families.4
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-

houses.
INTRODUCTION xxvii
neetown gave notice through the papers of Kaskaskia,
Frankfort (Kentucky), and Nashville (Tennessee), that they
would apply to the legislature of Illinois for the establishment
of a bank at that place.5 These papers, supported by the
population of towns larger than any in the new territory,
doubtless delayed both the beginning and the spread of
newspapers in Illinois.
Means of communication were meager, primitive, and
did not function with either despatch or regularity. The
earliest settlements were naturally on the waterways —
the Wabash, Ohio, Mississippi, and Kaskaskia rivers. No
roads or mail routes were opened until 1805. The first mail
route was established in that year from Vincennes to Caho-
kia;6 the second from Vincennes to Shawneetown in 1806.
In 1810 routes were established to St. Louis by way of Kas-
kaskia, Prairie du Rocher, and Cahokia; from Kaskaskia
to Cape Girardeau, by way of St. Genevieve; from Louis-
ville to Shawneetown; and in 1814 to Johnson Court House
(now Vienna). Over these routes mail was carried regularly
once or twice a week, except in bad weather, or when the
roads were impassable.7 But it will appear later that even
when the mail was regularly carried, the whole postal system
was so bad that regularity and promptness in the arrival of
expected mail were never assured.
The transportation of freight suffered even more serious
vicissitudes than the distribution of the mail, and the pros-
pective publisher of the first newspaper may well have felt
himself at some disadvantage in being as remote from the
source of his supply of paper and equipment as was Kaskas-

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 wiU
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 Western Intelligencer in 1816; renamed Illinois
Intelligencer 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 West, 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 Republican 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 permit, 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; Edwardsville, 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.8 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 55,211.° In 1814 there were nine
post-offices in the territory, and three hundred and eighty-
eight miles of post-roads.10 From that time both post-offices

and post- roads increased greatly." By 1819 a road was
opened from Shawneetown, by way of Carmi to Albion, in
Edwards County. In February, 1821, 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.12 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,13
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 1811, the Washington in 1817.
In 1817 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
11 In 1821 there were fifty-seven post-offices, but in 1823 and 1825 only fifty
three. Until after the first decade, Shawneetown did more postal business than
any other town in Illinois, and in 1817 it was the only post-office in the state in
which a clerk was employed. In 1821 it did twice as much as Edwardsville, and
four times as much as Kaskaskia. See U. S. Official Registers or "Blue Books,'1
for 1817-1825.

the first decade served and were served. But the delays in
the mail service and in the delivery of freight were so frequent
and so prolonged as to be to-day almost incredible. The
Illinois Emigrant issued no number between June 23 and
August 24, 1819, because paper shipped down the Ohio on
June 1 3th was delayed by low water and did not arrive
until more than two months later. If this delay was suf-
fered by a paper nearest the source of supply and directly
on the Ohio, more extended gaps might well be expected
in the other early files. On June 21, 1823, the Illinois
Gazette received through the post a New York Spectator of
November 22, 1822, a Richmond Enquirer of December 7,
1822, and a Frankfort Commentator of January 2, 1823.
"Such is the wretched state of the mails west of the moun-
tains, and complaints and remonstrances seem unavailing
to improve it," remarked the editor. On this mail service
the early western papers depended for their news of the out-
side world. Hall, in the Illinois Gazette, pictures the situ-
ation in 1821 thus:
" After a lapse of several weeks (three months, to be
exact) we are now enabled to resume the publication of our
sheet. Paper (the want of which has been the cause of the
late interruption) was shipped for us early last fall, on board
of a boat bound for St. Louis — to which place, owing prob-
ably to the forgetfulness of the master, it was carried and
has but just now come to hand. Our situation is such, and
our means so inadequate to guard against these occasional
interruptions, by laying in large supplies of paper, ink, etc.,
at a time that we are more or less affected by every change
in the elements, or defalcation in individual promises. High
and low water it seems are equally our enemies — the one is
sure to delay the arrival of some article necessary to the
xxxii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
prosecution of our labors, while the other hurries something
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. . . . When 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 him by letter at the Lower
Rapids on the 2oth 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." 14 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 difficulty in the 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 Jacksonville News on
14 Washburne, Edwards Papers, 408-409.
INTRODUCTION xxxiii
January 17, 1835, "at being compelled to an occasional
suspension of our publication (owing to a want of paper);
but the regret is lessened somewhat by the fact that every
paper in the state, with perhaps a single exception, has suf-
fered like disappointments." The News had then suffered
a suspension of three weeks.
The general character of the newspapers of the period
was political, the tone frequently controversial, but highly
moral and often religious. As newspapers they would to-day
be regarded, even from the point of view of the country
weekly, as sad efforts. Of political news, either state or
national, there was no lack, and the editors sometimes
showed considerable enterprise in securing it; but of local
news in the present sense there was very little. Occasionally
some space was given to an account of an unusual murder
in the vicinity, or an extraordinary rise or fall of the river;
but usually the remoteness of the event seemed to increase
its importance, and one finds more often an account of the
hop yield in Silesia than of the wheat crop in Illinois. It
was easier to reset items from the eastern papers, when they
arrived, than to gather facts and compose original matter.15
This was especially true in the frequent periods when the
politician who ran the paper was absent, and the work was
left to the itinerant and bibulous printer.
The editorial occupied a variable, but on the whole, an
important place. These first five papers had pretty definite
purposes, forwarded or achieved largely by the direct appeal
of the editorial, which, not infrequently in "parlous times"
18 Shawneetown was for many years the chief gateway for emigrants to Southern
Illinois, and a "port of call" for all the settlers bound for Missouri via the Ohio
River. Equipped with the present newspaper reporter's zeal for news, the editor
of the Gazette could have made his paper a highly important record of the flowing
tide of emigration to the land of promise. But the record was not written. Political
maneuvers and quarrels were more important than the incoming population.
xxxiv ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
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 nom 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." 16 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 Illinois
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 17 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.18
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
l6Edwards Papers, 543, letter to Gov. Edwards, dated September 21, 1830.

INTRODUCTION xxxv
English newspapers. These articles were either remarks of
the editor, or bona fide contributions of outsiders. As one
of the earliest occurrences of the first kind may be cited a
series of letters in the Illinois Gazette, signed "Brutus,"
attacking Daniel P. Cook.19 They were undoubtedly
written by James Hall, who was at that time editor; but,
though Hall acknowledged editorial responsibility for the
letters, he never acknowledged his authorship of them. Of
the second kind there are to be found no more interesting
illustrations than are furnished by the many communications
of Morris Birkbeck, sometimes signed with his own name,
sometimes with "Jonathan Freeman." They were con-
cerned especially with slavery or with agriculture, and were
as interesting and brisk in style as they were numerous and
long.
The political influence and significance of acknowledged
editorials was of serious moment, and matters of importance
were not hastily disposed of with an irresponsible squib. Big
guns were brought to bear, no matter how belated the broad-
side. Political leaders were consulted and heeded, even
when they were not themselves induced to write. An editor
and politician no less important than Daniel P. Cook wrote
to Ninian Edwards: "I shall want to make some comments
on the importance of the subject, and altho' I shall do it as
my own entirely, I shall wish very much to have your assist-
ance in that business. Indeed it appears to be a subject of
such acknowledged importance that a man who is able to
develop its niceties may well expect to acquire some fame
for so doing ; and I therefore wish your assistance in making
any remarks, lest I should discover a want of tolerable

in answer to this reply Hall assumed responsibility for the articles in an editorial
printed July 27.
xxxvi ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
knowledge of the subject, which would rather make me
appear ridiculous than otherwise." 20
Much of the space afforded by the lack of news was filled
with "literature." "Want of room alone," explains one of
the earliest editors,21 "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 excerpts 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.

INTRODUCTION xxxvii
The business of publishing a newspaper in the early days
was poor enough at best, and the publisher had a hard strug-
gle to make a living. The initial cost of a plant was small,
and the expense of maintenance was low, but the sources of
income were correspondingly meager. Had there been no
public printing and no politicians who felt the need of
"organs," probably no early paper could have lived a year,
for the subscribers were few and the advertisements yielded
little income.
The first cost of establishing a plant seems to have varied
from four hundred to a thousand dollars, according to the
amount of type the publisher felt necessary. The cost of
maintenance was small. In many instances one man did
all the work; seldom were more than two employed on one
paper. Usually, it seems, a lawyer or other ambitious person
wishing to start a paper found a printer, furnished the plant,
editorials, and some of the news, and left the printer to solicit
advertising, gather "items," make selections of news and
"elegant miscellany" from the exchanges, set type, and
"run off" and deliver the paper.
Public printing was a boon to the three earliest papers,
and no doubt did much to prolong their careers beyond the
average length. This was especially true of the first and
the most successful, which was established at an opportune
time. There was a great and growing territory rapidly
being settled by ambitious pioneers ; there was an increasing
body of laws, with no newspaper in which to print them;
there was the United States printing patronage to be secured,
as well as the official job-work. A law in force May 21, 1 8 10,
declared that "whereas, it is provided . . . that advertise-
ments should be inserted in some public newspaper pub-
lished in the territory . . . ; and whereas, there is at this
xxxviii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
time no newspaper printed in this territory:" 22 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." 23
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.24 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.25 By this act the compensation was fixed
at the 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 1 70 subscribers, of which probably a third
would withdraw when the year was up, and that nothing
22 This conclusively corrects Reynolds' statement that the Illinois Herald was
established in 1809, an error handed down to the present time. (See Boggess,
Settlement of Illinois, 1775—1830, p. 132, for the latest instance.)

25 Act approved April 20, 1818. The number of papers to be used in each state
and territory was changed to two in 1846; the practice was discontinued in March,
1875. The amount of income derived from this source varied. The first Official
Register to give the names of the printers of the laws and the amounts that they
were paid (that of 1833) gives $177.00 for the first session and $91.00 for the second.
These amounts were much smaller than those paid previously. An incidental
benefit accrued from official favor. There was much printing to be done for the
Department of State and of War and the Post Office Department, and the news-
paper publishers often received from such sources two or three times the amount
paid for publishing the laws.
INTRODUCTION xxxix
could sustain the paper but new type and its enlargement.28
Four hundred subscribers were considered a satisfactory
number, although one finds vain boasting here and there
that with proper help from all friends this or that paper
could increase its list to a thousand.
Advertisements were few, seldom filling one-fourth of
the paper, and the rates were low. Of these early adver-
tisements, those of taverns, whiskey, town-sites, and run-
away negroes are found most frequently. The last named is
found in surprising numbers, not only in the first decade, but
on down to the Civil War, many bearing the little woodcut
of a negro with his bundle which so impressed Miss Mar-
tineau, and nearly all offering a reward of one cent for the
fugitive's return. Prospectuses of new papers, and adver-
tisements of eastern, especially Washington, papers were
numerous. These, together with notices of Philadelphia,
New York, and Boston magazines grew in frequency until
the middle of the century, when the use of the telegraph
began to shift the whole newspaper situation.
Subscribers and advertisers would have been of more
value to the struggling publishers if they had paid, but very
often they didn't pay. In the case of nearly all early papers
the subscription price if paid in advance was a dollar lower
than if paid at the end of the year, but from the frequent
appeals for money on account, one surmises that the sub-
scribers found a way to save more than the one dollar. They
were appealed to in prose and in verse, they were cajoled,
praised, lectured, and denounced. Money was wretchedly
scarce, but almost any commodity was acceptable. A full
list of what the printers offered to receive would be an in-
28 Edwards Papers, 330. After the Spectator had been sold to Meredith, War-
ren wrote : " Had not this contract been made it is probable the paper would have
died a natural death." P. 364.

ventory of the daily needs of the pioneer. The publishers
of the Illinois Gazette announced that they would receive
in payment 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 the 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 first 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 are left one can follow the shifts of ownership 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 1822 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
party," says Governor Ford,27. . . "established news-

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 David
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 anything 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.28
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 slavery. 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 policy 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.29
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 Ford
has said that the Gazette was against the convention; Gov-
ernor Coles, that it was for it.30 These two 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. Washburne, 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
relative to some political charges, Hall said editorially, "We
29 As late as April 22, 1823, Governor Coles wrote to Nicholas Biddle his belief
that the Kaskaslua Republican would stand against the convention. Ten days
earlier he had written to Richard Flower and Morris Birkbeck suggesting that they
take the initiative in starting an anti-convention paper at Albion. See Washburne,
Sketch of Governor Coles.
30 " Unfortunately for the friends of freedom, four out of five of the newspapers
printed in this state are opposed to them; and the only press whose editor is in
favor of freedom, although a pretty smart editor, has rendered himself unpopular
with many of his foolish and passionate attacks upon many prominent men on his
side of the question." Coles to Biddle, September 18, 1823. In Washburne

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 columns 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 with 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.31 Two weeks later,82 in printing a letter
from Morris Birkbeck who uttered a word of warning to his
fellow-citizens lest they elect pro-slavery officials, Hall de-
plored the fact that the question of slavery should be brought
up. "From this state," 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 all 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 parties 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."
Six 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 effort 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"33 was reprinted from the Illinois Intelligencer
without criticism. From March, 1823, until August, 1824,
the columns of the Gazette 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 slavery. 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 1824, 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 born after
xlvi ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
its admission shall arrive at a certain age, to be fixed by the
constitution."34
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-
gencer will henceforth be conducted in a course, so as not to
warrant any person in saying it disgusts the community."35
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 anti-slavery man. No doubt 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 sym-
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 Republican on the
other.

INTRODUCTION xlvii
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 38 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.37
At some time between March 19 and May 7, 1824, Berry
disposed of his interest nominally to David Blackwell,
39 This editorial brought about the only threat I have found of legislative action,
and the first instance of mob menace, against an Illinois newspaper. On Monday,
February 17, 1823, Mr. Field, of Union County, moved the adoption of the following
resolution: "That the Editors of the Illinois Intelligencer be requested forthwith
to inform this House who is the author of a piece which appeared in their last
paper, signed A, B. and which charges the Legislature with corruption and dis-
honesty." The resolution passed, and there the matter ended. Public feeling
outside of the legislature was so much aroused that a mob collected in front of the
office of the newspaper and threatened to destroy the press and other equipment.
But this demonstration proceeded no further toward results than the legislature
itself had gone.
87 James H. Perkins, Annals of the West, appendix, 792-793, says: "The paper
(at Vandalia) that performed the public printing, was the strong garrison (of the
convention party in December, 1823). On the morning of the meeting of the con-
vention party leaders this citadel surrendered to their opponents, hoisted the anti-
convention flag, and prepared to pour grapeshot into their ranks. . . . Governor
Coles had purchased an interest in the press; David Blackwell, Esq., of Belleville,
had been appointed secretary of state, to fill a vacancy and conduct the paper as
editor."
This is inaccurate. David Blackwell did not become editor until after March,
1824.
xlviii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
though Governor Coles was the real buyer.38 With this
change the Intelligencer 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 Illinois Republican and the Republican Advocat
(later the Kaskaskia Republican) were less permanent ele
ments in the early newspaper field, and did little more tl
contribute to the campaign discussions of 1823-24. The
Illinois Republican at Edwardsville was established by
Pennsylvanian named Miller, and his son. Their coming
was opportune; a paper to oppose the Spectator was mucl
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,39 with Smitl
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 othei
papers in the campaign fought at such close quarters, 01
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 theii
opponents. Their pens were facile and forcible.
The Republican Advocate was established at Kaskaskic
by Elias Kent Kane and Governor Reynolds, at first undei

message to the legislature in 1826, and in a letter to Henry I. Mills. See Edward

INTRODUCTION xlix
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 remarked 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 which 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 state; 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.
1 ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
But the partizanship was obvious and sincere; the earnest-
ness with which either 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 1860. 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.40
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
40 Blue Book oj the State o] Illinois, 1905, pp. 414-430.
INTRODUCTION li
the Fever river lead region in the vicinity of Galena.41 The
greatest immigration into Central Illinois 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 18 19,
had a population numbering between six hundred and eight
hundred in 1830; Jacksonville was of about the same size.
The population of Sangamon County at that time was over
forty-two thousand; that of the military 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 1819,
grew with great rapidity. Peoria County had been organ-
ized in 1825 with a population of twelve hundred thirty-
six; Galena counted a population of about two thousand,
and the county more than twice 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
again in 1842.
Transportation facilities 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 Illinois points along the
Mississippi, and others plied up and down the Illinois.
41 In the fall of 1825 the Western Emporium, published at Centerville, Indiana,
estimated that between one hundred and one hundred twenty wagons loaded with
families and effects passed through that town in fifteen days on their way to Illinois,
chiefly to the northern parts. It believed that as many more had passed through
Brooksville, Lawrenceburg, etc.
Hi ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
Roads, also, were improved and extended.42 In 1824 a stage
line led from St. Louis to Vincennes;43 by 1830 trips were
made three times a week over this route, touching Belleville,
Lebanon, Carlyle, Maysville, and Lawrenceville.44 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 survived the convention campaign, to
connect the preceding with 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
census enumerator in 1840, several of which were but
temporary campaign sheets.45
42 The General Assembly in 1830 passed many laws establishing new roads,
and shortening and improving others. Some of the more important highways
authorized at that session were: One from the west bank of the Wabash opposite
Vincennes, to Chicago, through Palestine, York, Darwin, Paris, and Danville;
one from Springfield to Rock Island via Sangamontown, New Salem, Miller's
Ferry, Havana, and Lewiston; one from Pekin to Vermillion County; and one from
Alton to Galena,via Carrollton, Whitehall, Jacksonville, Bairdstown (sic), Rushville
and Macomb.
43 Davidson and Stuv6, History of Illinois, 352.
44 Peck, Gazetteer of Illinois, 1837, p. 325, says that stages ran each way on alter-
nate days over this route, and twice a week between Shawneetown and Carlyle.

45 See fourth paragraph subseq.
INTRODUCTION liii
The geographical distribution of the papers established
in this period is of much significance. Whereas 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 Western
Observer, Alton in 1832 with the Spectator, and Chicago
with the Democrat in 1833. Add to these the Chronicle and
Bounty Land Advertiser, 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
and Peoria Herald in the north central section, 1834, and
the Bounty Land Register, begun in 1835 at Qumc7> on tne
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.
liv ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
"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 secondary 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 very evils into blessings, and give
assurance to the world of, not what it is, but what it is to be.
Is there a little village, with its political parties or factions in
array ? — the one must have its paper to promulgate its
doctrines and vindicate its rights; 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
INTRODUCTION Iv
sibylline gravity utters forth his oracles of political wisdom
to a benighted world."46
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
'76, Sovereign People, Illinois 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
48 Illinois State Gazette &» Jacksonville News, May 9, 1835. The promptness
with which newspapers were set up in incipient villages is well illustrated in the
case of Grafton. The first settlers built their cabins in 1832, streets were laid out
in 1836, and John Russell published the Backwoodsman there in 1837.

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

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-
odicals 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 Rushville Political Examiner
was issued daily in the heat of the campaign.
50 These figures are from Mitchell, Illinois in 1837, and are probably estimated.

Throughout the first half-century of our newspaper
history the weekly papers were all these things to all men;
each presented a symposium of politics, agriculture, morals,
mechanics, science, and literature — something to please
each member of the family, indeed. But the idea of special
types was present very early, and found concrete habiliment
in several premature publications. As early as 1829 a
INTRODUCTION lix
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 Edwardsville 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.51 The idea
of the Pioneer originated with 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;52

the Rev. Mr. Green soon starved out, and was succeeded by
a Mr. Smith, son-in-law of Mr. Peck. In June, 1836, the
office was moved to Alton, where it was a distressing burden
to its originator until January, 1839, when it was combined
with the Baptist Banner of Louisville, Kentucky.
That an attempt was made to establish a pretentious
literary 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 literary, scientific, cultural — for fiction and for
poetry — and for appreciation in coin of the realm. It had
nearly a score of predecessors in the Ohio valley,53 including
The Medley (1803), Western Review (1820) and Transyl-
vanian (1829) at Lexington, Kentucky; Cincinnati Literary
Gazette (1824), Western Monthly Review (1828), Sentinel and
Star in the West (1829), and Olio, 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
B Venable, Early Periodical Literature of the Ohio Valley. Cairns, On the De-
velopment of American Literature from 1815 to Z#JJ, pp. 60, 61.
INTRODUCTION bri
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, "will 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, tales, and poetry. ... I am much better
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 Monthly
Magazine, for performance followed close on purpose, and
Hall gathered in those two ambitious volumes a quantity,
Ixii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
quality, and variety of matter creditable indeed. He drew
on his own resources heavily — 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 i, 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.54 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.55 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 Washingtonian were
added in 1842, after which time the paper did not long
survive.
Ensley T. and C. Goudy began in January, 1837, to
publish the first educational journal in Illinois, probably the
first in the Mississippi valley. It was entitled Common
School Advocate, and was issued monthly. Only a printer
54 Tanner, Martyrdom oj Lovejoy, 100.
65 Tanner, supra cit., declared that Corey provoked heated opposition in St.
Louis, especially by printing the names of all wholesale grocers of that city who
sold liquors, and charging them with participating in a common crime. "Many,
in their fury, would have been glad to have wiped out of existence not only the
Observer, but also the Temperance Herald, with their editors, printers, and offices,
as nuisances in society."
INTRODUCTION Ixiii
like Goudy, who ventured and failed in many journalistic
undertakings, would have had the courage to use labor, ink,
and paper, even, in publishing a school journal in Illinois,
at that time. There was no common school system; there
were no required qualifications for school teachers; and
there was a latent antagonism on the part of a large portion
of the populace to an educational system which would entail
taxation.56 "We apprehend," said S. S. Brooks, editor of
the Jacksonville Gazette and News in a notice of the Common
School Advocate, "there is not sufficient intelligence among
the mass of teachers in the state to appreciate the merits of
such a work, nor interest enough taken by parents in the
success of common schools, or in the education of their
children, to induce them to extend, at the present time, an
adequate support to the enterprise." The editorial labor
was done by "a few literary gentlemen who, from their
deep interest in this subject, generously volunteered their
services for one year without remuneration." Samuel
Willard ascribed the editorship to Rev. Theron Baldwin.57
But Brooks's pessimism seems to have been warranted, for
the journal did not continue beyond the year. The failure of
the Advocate was in keeping with the fate of all educational
journals, four in number, which had been established up to
that time in the United States. The first was begun in 1818 ;
the least unsuccessful lived for ten years; others, four, two,
and one, respectively. Considering the conditions, the
Common School Advocate had its due length of life.

the first newspaper was set up in it, and mail was carried on

a horse once a week by way of Niles, Michigan. And it is
significant that the first number of this first paper strongly
urged "the commencement and completion of the long-
contemplated canal to connect the waters of Lake Michigan
with the Illinois River." In that year, 1833, when the
Democrat added its voice to the internal improvement chorus,
a total of twenty-eight voters elected the first trustees of the
new town; and seven thousand Indians met thereabouts
to sign a treaty ceding to the United States all of the terri-
tory in northern Illinois and in Wisconsin. A second paper
was established in 1835, when the population of the town
was 3,265, including a number of Whigs who were not con-
tent to have their interests ignored by the only paper in the
place. They consequently saw to it that the Whig American
was started, and this paper, on November 26, 1839, began
to issue the first daily in the state. Its rival .began a daily
in the following year. Thus the dailies really began in this
period, but discussion of them is placed in the next, in which
they became an important feature of journalism.
Although this sketch is confined to affairs less widely
known than the brief career of the Alton Observer, ending
in the death of Elijah P. Lovejoy, it is perhaps permissible
to recite briefly the events connected with that fatal affair,
since the Observer was the first abolition paper in Illinois.
Hooper Warren contrasts conditions in 1837, when Lovejoy
was killed, with those in 1820, when Warren, unmolested,
conducted the Spectator, 58 suggesting the inference that the
two men were preaching the same doctrine. But such an
inference is erroneous. The Edwardsville Spectator was not
an abolition paper, but an anti-slavery paper. Since War-
ren's paper was only anti-slavery, the Observer was the first
58 In Genius of Liberty, Vol. I, no. i.
INTRODUCTION Ixv
abolition paper in the state, the first of a considerable num-
ber, most of which originated between 1842 and i85o.59
The Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, who had been forced to
leave St. Louis because of his abolitionist utterances,
arrived at Alton with a press and an intention to establish
a newspaper, or to conduct at that point the one that he
was not allowed to continue at St. Louis. Many citizens
at Alton resented the idea of an abolition paper in that place,
and on the night after the arrival of the press, threw it into
the Mississippi. At a public meeting held on the next day
Mr. Lovejoy assured that people that they had mistaken
his motives, that he had intended to establish a religious,
not an anti-slavery newspaper; he asserted his personal
antagonism to slavery, but denied that he was an aboli-
tionist.
These statements were taken as a pledge by those citizens
who felt that they had a right to receive in advance a pledge
as to what kind of doctrine Lovejoy was to print in his news-
paper. "Upon this condition," says Ford,60 "he was per-
mitted to set up the Alton Observer without opposition."
The editor had no idea of assenting to such a condition, but
for some time he conducted the Observer as a religious paper,
opposed to slavery, but not abolition in tone. Gradually
his own views changed, however, and within a year he was
foremost in Illinois abolition councils. A meeting of anti-
abolitionists resolved that Lovejoy had broken his pledge
and was threatening the peace of the community. A com-
mittee impressed those resolutions upon him, to which he
answered with a denial of having given a pledge, and con-
tended for right to freedom of discussion. To this his

critics replied on September 21 by throwing his press and
type into the Mississippi. A state anti-slavery meeting was
held at Upper Alton on September 27 for the purpose of
forming an anti-slavery society, but as the call included
all friends of free discussion, the anti-abolitionists made
the meeting futile. Another was held on October 28, at
which it was voted to order a new press. News of this act
brought on another mass meeting at which was discussed not
the right to require an editor to promise in advance what he
intends to say, but whether or not he had kept such a
promise, and what he intended to do in the future. Love joy
asserted that he would advocate what doctrines he wished;
his opponents resolved that he should not advocate abolition.
With matters in that posture the press arrived, and was
placed in a warehouse, where it was guarded by Lovejoy
and others. In an attack on the warehouse Lovejoy and
one of his opponents were killed. The press was thrown
into the river, and the paper was not again printed in Alton.
" After the violence of feeling had somewhat subsided,"
remarks Ford,61 "both parties were indicted for their
crimes arising out of these transactions, and all were acquit-
ted; making it a matter of record that in fact the aboli-
tionists had not provoked an assault ; that there had been no
mob; and that no one had been killed or wounded." This

liam S. Lincoln, Alton Trials, New York, 1838; Rev. Edward Beecher, Narrative
oj Riots at Alton, Alton, 1838; also Henry Tanner, Martyrdom of Lovejoy, Chicago,
1 88 1. Harris, Negro Servitude in Illinois, 68-98, reviews the event and its results,
giving on p. 96 n. an incomplete list of papers which deplored the riot, and saying:
" In Illinois the effect of the rioting at Alton upon the anti-slavery cause was not at
once apparent. There was a small public meeting in Chicago, which condemned
the assault on the warehouse as a blow at the freedom of the press. This and the
censure of a few papers like the Peoria Register were the only protests against the
outrage. In fact, few people in the state cared to raise their voices in condemnation
of the deed — such was the disrepute in which the abolitionists were then held."
For its effect at the center of abolitionist agitation see William Lloyd Garrison, The
Story of His Life, Vol. 2, pp. 182-192.
INTRODUCTION Ixvii
verdict was reached in spite of the fact that the evidence
showed that each accused individual had been present when
Love joy was killed, and that most of them had had weapons
of some sort in their hands.82
The Observer was not the only paper suppressed in the
course of the slavery struggle in Illinois, as will appear in
another section; but Love joy was the only editor killed in
such affairs, and his death, more than his or other anti-
slavery paper, gave coherence and impetus to the aboli-
tion movement.
The period ending in 1840, with a total of fifty-three
papers, showed little development in the character of the
newspapers of the ordinary type. They were still strongly
political and partizan; there had been no noticeable im-
provement in tone; no great editors had appeared, although
such men as John York Sawyer, John Bailhache, J. M.
Peck, John Russell, and S. S. Brooks, besides Hooper War-
ren and others who had figured in the previous period, raised
a part of the press of Illinois well above the level of medioc-
rity. In the beginnings of religious, literary, and some
other special forms, indications of progress were to be seen,
but the chief growth had been numerical and geographical.
Although many immigrants had come, and many thousands
of idle acres had been tilled, pioneer conditions still pre-
vailed, and nothing could have been more uncouth and
violent than the newspapers in the campaign of 1840, with
which this period closed.
FROM 1841 TO i860
Three important movements affected the character and
growth of newspapers in the period from 1840 to 1860.
62 Harris, Negro Servitude in Illinois, 95.
Ixviii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
These were the introduction of the telegraph, the coming of
the railroad, and the political shifts and realignments that
led to the forming of the Republican party organization in
Illinois in 1856, and eventually to the nomination of Lincoln.
The first two combined to bring about a revolution in
economic conditions in the newspaper industry; the third
brought to a close an epoch of political chaos among the
papers, and established a pretty definite basis of classifica-
tion. There were fifty- two papers in the state in 1840. In
the score of years following, a total of seven hundred and
thirty-one others, at least, were begun. In 1860 two hundred
and eighty-six remained, showing a net increase of two hun-
dred thirty-four, in spite of the great mortality.
The most striking effect of the introduction of the tele-
graph and the railroad was that which it had in promoting
the establishment and growth of daily papers. It is a truism
well known to newspaper publishers that as soon as the
population of a town becomes large enough to support one
daily journal, two are started. The relation of popula-
tion to the beginnings of Illinois dailies is of course not to
be overlooked; the other less obvious, but more suggestive
and almost equally important relation warrants consideration.
The telegraph preceded the railroad in Illinois, despite
the internal improvement act of 1837, under which the state
undertook to build about one thousand three hundred and
forty miles of railroad. As a result of this act a road was
built eastward from Meredosia, and the first locomotive in
the state was put in use November 8, 1838. The line reached
Springfield in 1842; but the engines deteriorated and were
abandoned; mules were substituted; and the whole prop-
erty was sold in i847.83 The real introduction of railroads
88 W. K. Ackerman, Early Illinois Railroads, Fergus Hist. Ser. No. 23.
INTRODUCTION Ixix
came three years later. The telegraph reached the state by
two routes in the same year, 1848; one from Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, and Cincinnati to St. Louis, touched at the
southern part of the state ; the other from New York, by way
of Cleveland, Toledo, and Detroit, tapped Chicago. The
network of lines that spread over the state from 1840 to 1850
was built by Henry C. O'Reilly, as a part of his great
Atlantic and Mississippi lines.64 Starting from St. Louis,
these were extended to Alton, Jacksonville, Jerseyville,
Carrollton, Springfield, Peoria, Delavan, Peru, Chillicothe,
Henry, Ottawa, Morris, Lockport, and thence to Chicago,
where connection was made with the line built by Ezra
Cornell along the lakes. Another line from St. Louis con-
nected Beardstown, Rushville, Sterling, Quincy, Rock
Island, Dixon, and Galena, as well as small intermediate
points.65 By 1850 every important town in Illinois was in
telegraphic connection with Chicago and the eastern cities,
and Chicago newspapers regularly contained in brief form
the news of the previous day from all over the east.
Railroad construction in Illinois really began in 1850, in
which year a line was put in operation between Chicago
and Elgin; and later continued to Freeport. In 1852 the
Michigan Central, the first line to connect Illinois with the
East, entered Chicago. The work of construction on the
Illinois Central was begun in 1851 and completed to Cairo
in 1856; a line from Alton to Springfield was completed in
1853; and from Springfield to Joliet in 1854. By 1860
most of the principal towns were to be reached by railroads.
The rapidity with which they were built is suggested by the
fact that in February, 1852, there were ninety-five miles of

road in the state; two years later there were one thousand
miles; at the end of 1855 two thousand four hundred ten;
and in another year, two thousand seven hundred sixty-one.
How closely the dailies followed the telegraph may be
seen by comparing the foregoing statements with the fol-
lowing list:

INTRODUCTION Ixxi
Not all these papers afford such apt evidence of the
close relation of the telegraph to the dailies as does the Peoria
Register. That paper was started on the same day the
telegraph line was opened between Peoria and St. Louis, and
the first despatch between the two towns was sent by the
editor of the Register to the editor of the St. Louis Repub-
lican.67
In Chicago, the first daily, the American, was established
on April 9, 1839, the second in 1840. In the period 1841-
1860, inclusive, twenty-eight were begun, including one
daily "price current"; of these, ten were still published in
1860. According to compilations made at the various
dates, the number of dailies in the state was:
1840 Downstate i Chicago 2 Total 3
1850 Downstate 3 Chicago 5 Total 8
1854 Downstate 13 Chicago 7 Total 20
1856 Downstate 10 Chicago 7 Total 17
1860 Downstate 13 Chicago 10 Total 23
This was a formative period of newspapers, as of politics.
The violence of party strife which marred the newspapers
before and in the campaign of 1840 was not soon mitigated.
The Chicago press had shown as yet but a few of the qual-
ities which were developed later. "It was still in its in-
fancy, and an infancy by no means respectable." 68 In 1848
John L. Scripps bought a third interest in the Chicago
Tribune, and from that date one may fairly say that the
Chicago papers began to take on something of tone and
character, given to them directly or indirectly by the dig-
nified labor of Scripps. He originated the first distinctive
review of the markets of Chicago; he gave distinction and
influence to the editorial, and extended the scope of the news

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 Tribune, 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 individuals, 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.

Statesman, and established a fair claim to having set up the
first wholly independent newspaper in Illinois. So far as
independence was concerned, no one in the state was
better equipped than he. Of unusual natural ability, he
was well educated, strong minded, and absolutely unafraid
of either men or ideas. When in an early number of his
paper he said, "It is well known that on many points, both
of politics and morals, we disagree with all parties now
extant," he made mild acknowledgment of a fact to which
every one who knew him would testify. What the States-
man was to strive for is suggested by certain passages from
the prospectus: "The present depression of the public
mind is known and felt by all. ... It is believed that good
men of all parties are anxious, candidly and earnestly to
enquire for the true causes and remedies of present ills,
and to seek some sure foundation of future action and
future hope. ... In a word, how can we secure to our-
selves harmony, peace, and prosperity at home, and re-
spectability abroad — as a community, as a state, and
as a nation? . . . We all know but too well, that
speculation, officeseeking, demagogues and party spirit,
have conspired to plunge us into the gulph. . . . Hence
this paper can be devoted to the interests of no party what-
ever, political, moral, social, or ecclesiastical." Neither
was it to attack any party, as such. So, in the face of a
generally expressed belief, "that none but a violent, factious,
party paper could be sustained" in Jacksonville, the new
paper was begun.
But success was from the first clearly impossible. Turner
was a pamphleteer, not a journalist. He had no editorial
experience, and little interest, even for that day, in a news-
bcriv ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
paper for the sake of news. Under the head of " Crimes and
Casualties" he printed:89 "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 satisfied 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-
torials, 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 Ixxv
The free-soil movement in Illinois gave rise to a number
of newspapers between 1842 and 1854. The movement
may be said to have centered around the series of papers
which included Genius of Universal Emancipation, Genius
of Liberty, and Free West, and which were fairly entitled to
be called the mouthpieces of the free-soil and abolition
movement in the state. But by 1845 others had sprung up,
and by 1848, when Van Buren was supported by an imposing
list of able and important papers, including the Chicago
Tribune, free-soil organs were fairly numerous.70
On the breaking up of the Whig party a number of news-
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 they
were to remain true to their principles, they could not cor-
dially unite with any party then in existence;71 and many
felt that no genuine Whig could join a party founded on the
70 Liberty and Free-Soil papers in Illinois are enumerated as follows by Mr. T.
C. Smith in his "Liberty and Free-Soil Parties in the North-west" (Appendix B,
p. 320):

1838-39 Lowell, Genius of Universal Emancipation B. Lundy
1840-42 Lowell, Genius of Liberty Z. Eastman
1842-54 Chicago, Western Citizen (with a daily edition, the Daily
News, 1845; and another, the Daily Times, 1852) Z. Eastman

1853-54 Galesburg, Western Freeman W. J. Lane
Other names are those of the Alton Monitor, Geneva Western Mercury, Prince-
ton Bureau Advocate, Quincy Tribune, and Peru Telegraph, all in 1848. There was
one German paper, the Chicago Staats-Zeitung, 1848, and one Norwegian Frihets
Banneret, 1852. There were probably many other ephemeral i-'ree-Soil sheets in
1848; but their activity was so brief that they sank at once into oblivion, along with
the pledges of the Illinois " Barnburners."
To Smith's list may be added the Belleville Freiheitsbote fur Illinois, 1840;
Alton Truth-Seeker, 1845-46; Elgin Western Christian, 1845; Little Fort Lake
County Visiter, 1847; Greenville Barnburner, 1849; Galesburg Free Democrat,
1854; and Waukegan Freeman's Advocate, 1854-55.

slavery question.72 Because of the unusual lack of homo-
geneity in the state, coalition of free Whigs 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.73 When the
Nebraska bill was passed the Democratic Chicago Courant
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," 74
as well as their opportunity to assume leadership in forming
a new one.
The Illinois Whigs were extremely conservative. While
the formation of state Republican organizations in Michigan,
Wisconsin, and elsewhere was going on in 1854, the Illinois
State Journal advised against abandoning the Whig organi-
zation, and its advice was followed.75 Hence Illinois had
no Republican organization in 1854, 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
Journal 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 twenty-five papers:
Morgan Journal, Jacksonville Fultonian, Vermont
Chronicle, Winchester Journal, Quincy
Illinois State Chronicle, Decatur Beacon, Freeport
Whig, Quincy Pantagraph, Bloomington
Pike County Free Press, Pittsfield True Democrat, Joliet
Gazette, Lacon Telegraph, Lockport
Tribune, Chicago Gazette, Kankakee
Staats Zeitung, Chicago Guardian, Aurora
Republican, Oquawka Gazette, Waukegan
Republican, Peoria Chronicle, Peoria
Prairie State, Danville Advocate, Belleville
Advertiser, Rock Island Journal, Chicago
Journal, Sparta
As a result of this call a dozen persons were present at
the opening meeting, including Dr. Charles H. Ray, Chicago
Tribune; George Schneider, Chicago Staats Zeitung; V. Y.
Ralston, Quincy Whig; O. P. Wharton, Rock Island Adver-
tiser; Thomas J. Pickett, Peoria Republican,' E. C. Daugh-
erty, Rockford Register; E. W. Blaisdell, Rockford Repub-
lican; Charles Faxon, Princeton Post; A. N. Ford, Lacon
Gazette; B. F. Shaw, Dixon Telegraph; W. J. Usrey, De-
catur Chronicle; Paul Selby, Morgan Journal. Paul Selby
Ixxviii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
was made chairman and W. J. Usrey, secretary. The only
outsider admitted to the deliberations of the convention was
Abraham Lincoln, 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
central committee, on the call of which the first Republican
state convention in Illinois was held at Bloomington, May
29, i856.76
The great series of debates between Lincoln 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 1860 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 hi 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 seat of
honor to some humble admirer, but gave no word of his
address except 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
76 This account of the Decatur and Bloomington meetings is based on a letter
dated January 2, 1910, from Mr. Paul Selby to the writer, and on Mr. Selby's
article in the Chicago Tribune of February 22, 1906.
INTRODUCTION Ixxix
in Illinois Whig papers became Republican, and Demo-
cratic papers, less generally, remained Democratic.77 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 Knoxville 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 Register, 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 Jeffersonian,
then under the editorship of Dr. Charles H. 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 Illinoisan, 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
71 The situation in 1856 is thus described by Gustav Koerner: "Nearly all
prominent Northern Democrats had joined the Republican party, as well as a great
majority of the former Whigs. Nearly all the leading papers, advocated the Repub-
lican ticket, the Chicago Tribune, the Evening Journal, the German Staats Zeitung.
In the middle of the state it was quite different. A great many of the Whigs, who
had come from the Southern states, turned Democrats on the slavery question. It
was only in a few counties [in the southern part] such as Madison, and above all
St. Claii, that the large majority of the Democrats joined the Republican party,
and this was largely owing to the preponderance of the German vote.^ The
most southern part of the state was almost unanimous against the Republicans."

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 papers 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 contrary, 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 Civil War greatly affected the newpapers 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.78
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 papers
showed like increases. John Wentworth, who, in a panic
at the prospect of war, sold his Democrat lest he should be

Selby, of Chicago, Mr. Ensley Moore, of Jacksonville, Mr. Horace White of New
York City, and Mr. J. W. Merritt of Springfield.
INTRODUCTION Ixxxi
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 79
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 time 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
79 Mr. Ensley Moore.
Ixxxii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
the annual number of papers started. From 1854 to 1860
inclusive there was no year in which fewer than thirty-six
were begun in the state outside of Chicago. In 1859 and
in 1860 the number was forty-four. In 1861 just half as
many appeared, and the three following years showed
eighteen, twenty-six, and thirty-three respectively. Not
until 1865, with forty-five new papers, did the rate of increase
reach normal. In the towns outside of Chicago a notable
exception to this general depression was Cairo, which, as
an important troop station and a gateway to the south, saw
its greatest newspaper activity between 1861 and 1865.
All told, one hundred and forty-four downstate papers
were started in the war years. In the same years a total
of one hundred and fifty-five papers went out of business
permanently or were suspended until after the war, so that
at the close of 1865, in spite of the forty-five started in that
year, there were fewer in the state than at the beginning of
1 86 1. Many were abandoned by their editors or publishers,
who went into the army; others, by the same means left in
incompetent hands, soon failed. No inconsiderable num-
ber had taken so vigorous a stand on the losing side that they
could neither hold their own against or follow the turning
tide of public sympathy. This was especially true in the
southern part of the state, where public opinion was power-
fully influenced by the conduct of John A. Logan and John
A. McClernand. Some of these Democratic papers became
Republican; more stayed in the party, but advocated
the Union cause; a considerable number were unable to
convince their subscribers that a newspaper, like an indi-
vidual, may in all sincerity change its fealty, and so were
snuffed out; still others steadfastly held to their earlier
principles, but expounded them moderately.
INTRODUCTION Ixxxiii
Forcible discontinuance or interruption was the lot of
at least eight papers as a direct result of radical expressions
of opinion. Papers at Bloomington, Chester, Chicago,
Jonesboro, Maroa, Mason, Mendota, and Olney were
attacked by mobs or authorities, and in some cases the plants
were destroyed. The attempt of General Burnside to sup-
press the Chicago Times is the most important instance in
Illinois of official action against newspapers in the exciting
days of civil conflict.
After the proclamation of emancipation had been issued
the Times was so bitter in its denunciation of the adminis-
tration that the paper soon earned the designation of "cop-
perhead sheet," and aroused an intense hostility against it
and its owner. General Ambrose E. Burnside, in command
of the Department of the Northwest, with headquarters at
Cincinnati, issued an order for the suppression of the Times,
and the commander at Camp Douglas was charged with the
execution of the order. On the morning of June 3, 1863,
soldiers marched into the press-room and took possession
of the establishment. About eight thousand papers had
been printed, a part of which were destroyed, but the larger
part of which were issued. No edition was permitted on
June 4. A great mass meeting was held in the Court-
house Square on the evening of June 3, in advocacy of free
speech and a free press. A meeting was also held during the
day in the circuit court room, at which a petition to the
President to revoke the order was signed by all present, in-
cluding many prominent Republicans and business men;
and Senator Lyman Trumbull and Isaac N. Arnold tele-
graphed personally to Mr. Lincoln to the same effect. The
order was revoked June 4, and publication was resumed
on June 5. The policy of the Times was not changed;
Ixxxiv ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
its circulation, as General Grant had foreseen, was aug-
mented by official interference.80
The first downstate paper to encounter opposition by
force was the Mendota Times, established in 1859 by a Mr.
Fisk as a Democratic and pro-slavery sheet. Early in 1861
Fisk was declared to be a copperhead and was forced by a
recruiting company to make a speech for the Union and to
haul up a Union flag. Threatened with worse treatment, he
80 Andreas, History of Chicago, Vol. 2, p. 495 ; Rhodes, IV, 253-254.
The action of General Burnside, although at once revoked by President Lin-
coln, was by no means precipitate; and it was in accord, in spirit at least, with the
feeling of many other officials, both civil and military. As early as June 25, 1862,
Governor Morton of Indiana wrote to Secretary of War Stanton of an organization
of disaffected citizens in Indiana who he believed were likely to cause trouble by
carrying out their purpose to circulate and encourage "newspapers of extremely
doubtful loyalty," including the Chicago Times. On August 7, 1862, Governor
Yates wrote to Secretary Stanton: "There is an urgent and almost unanimous
demand from the loyal citizens that the Chicago Times should be immediately
suppressed for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. I solicit an immediate answer.
Do not delay, for I fear the people will take into their hands the power which should
only be used under the authority of your department."
Major Generals C. S. Hamilton and Stephen A. Hurlbut on February 8, 1863,
issued orders prohibiting the circulation of the Chicago Times in their commands.
General Grant, writing to Hurlbut February 13, 1863, concerning this order, ex-
pressed what was probably the general feeling of Union army officers on the subject:
" I have seen your General Orders, No. 4, February 8, prohibiting the circulation
of the Chicago Times within your command. There is no doubt but that paper,
with several others published in the North, should have been suppressed long since
by authority from Washington. As this has not been done, I doubt the propriety
of suppressing its circulation in any one command. The paper would still' find ^s
way into the hands of the enemy, through other channels, and do all the mischief
it is now doing.
" This course is also calculated to give the paper a notoriety evidently sought,
and which probably would increase the sale of it. I would direct, therefore, that
General Orders, No. 4, be revoked."
The order of Major General Burnside (General Orders No. 84) was issued on
June i, 1863, to prohibit the circulation of the New York World in the Department
of the Ohio, and to stop the publication of the Times. That part relating to the
Chicago paper was worded:
" On account of the repeated expression of disloyal and incendiary sentiments,
the publication of the newspaper known as the Chicago Times is hereby suppressed."
Brigadier General Jacob Ammen, commanding the District of Illinois was charged
with executing that order.
On June 4 Secretary Stanton issued General Order No. 91, directed to General
Burnside: "By direction of the President of the United States, the order suppress-
ing the publication of the Chicago Times is hereby revoked." This order of
revocation was issued in response very largely to the resolutions sent on June 3, from
Chicago, signed by fourteen prominent citizens, including Mayor F. C. Sherman,
INTRODUCTION kxxv
soon abandoned his paper and disappeared.81 The next
paper to suffer was the Bloomington Times, which under
the care of J. and B. F. Snow showed such marked Southern
proclivities and uttered so many expressions of sympathy
for the Southern states that a McLean County regiment
(94th Illinois Volunteers), abetted by prominent citizens,
destroyed the office, type, and press and incidentally the
paper. This occurred in August, 1862. 82 A temporary
suppression without violence or material damage was en-
forced against the Jonesboro Gazette in the spring of 1863.
Lieutenant- Colonel Joseph H. Newbold was sent to Jones-
boro with a part of the i4th Iowa Volunteer Infantry to
and endorsed : " We respectfully ask for the above [resolutions] the serious and
prompt consideration of the President. Lyman Trumbull,
Isaac M. Arnold."
President Lincoln's attitude is explained and other points are suggested by a
letter from the President to Arnold, dated May 25, 1865:
"In regard to the order of General Burnside suspending the Chicago Times,
now nearly a year ago, I can only say I was embarrassed with the question between
what was due to the military service on the one hand, and the liberty of the press
on the other, and I believe it was the despatch of Senator Trumbull and yourself,
added to the proceedings of the meeting which it brought me, that turned the scale
in favor of my revoking the order.
" I am far from certain to-day that the revocation was not right ; and I am very
sure that the small part you took in it is no just ground to disparage your judgment,
much less to impugn your motives. I take it that your devotion to the Union and
the administration cannot be questioned by any sincere man." Nicolay and Hay,
Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, X, 108.
Whether this letter indicates such feeling or not, there was much feeling that
a mistake had been made in allowing the Times to continue publication. This
view was forcibly expressed by the Chicago Tribune and many other papers.
Reviewing, in his final report, his work as Acting Assistant Provost Marshal
General in Illinois, James Oakes wrote, August 9, 1865 :
" But the grand cause — the only really guilty and formidable source of the
dangers through which Illinois has passed — is to be found in the steady streams
of political poison and arrant treason which have been permitted to flow from the
wicked, reckless, and debauched newspaper press of the state
"... Chief among these instigators of insurrection and treason, the foul and
damnable reservoir which supplied the lesser sewers with political filth, falsehood,
and treason, has been the Chicago Times."

gather up and return to the service a number of deserters
from the icgth Illinois who had returned to their homes.
His work was seriously impeded by the radical utterances
of the Gazette, which, like 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 written, "the episode turned out very well."
The Loyalist, an extreme advocate of abolitionism, was
established by George Brewster at Mason, Effingham
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 extremely 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.83 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 1867. There one T. J. Sharp began a Democratic
Times, 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.84 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.85 The Illinois Republican at
Springfield, an energetic Democratic paper to which Stephen
A. Douglas as a young man was a contributor, was, in 1837,
twice attacked by a mob, of which the sheriff of the county
was a member. The mob was prevented from doing destruc-
tion only by the vigorous defense offered by the Webers,
owners of the property.88 In June, 1841, Ogle County
"regulators" shot to death John and William Driscoll, two
notorious horsethieves and outlaws. Philander Knappen,
editor of the Rockford Star, denounced the execution edi-
torially and printed a communication of similar import.
Soon afterward three citizens, with the approval of public
opinion, made pi of all type in the office. Knappen aban-
doned journalism in Rockford.

Expositor, though the result of a factional disturbance

84 A bit of the reminiscences of an old settler, published in 1871 and quoted in
History of Sangamon County, Illinois (1881), pp. 225-224:
In 1837 Dr. Henry was one of the commissioners superintending the construc-
tion of the new State House in Springfield and a frequent contributor to the Sangamo
Journal. Stephen A. Douglas was at the same time writing for the Illinois Repub-
lican and in several anonymous articles he attacked Dr. Henry and his official work.
A committee of friends of Henry called upon the editor of the Journal to demand
the name of the author, but the editor dispersed them with a vigorous use of his
fists. Douglas, who witnessed the affair, wrote a highly colored account which the
paper published. As a result the office was attacked by a mob, led by the sheriff,
on two successive days, June 27 and 28, 1837, but the proprietors, with Douglas
and other friends, beat them off. The sheriff was stabbed in the fray on the second
day, fainted, and was carried home. That ended the riots. "These things gave
notoriety to the paper."

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 his 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. Higbee,
Chauncey 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.87 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." 88
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-
87 The order of removal was worded thus :
You are hereby commanded to destroy the printing press from whence issues
the Nauvoo Expositor and pi the type of said printing establishment in the street,
and burn all the Expositors and libelous handbills found in said establishment,
and if resistance be offered to your execution of this order, by the owners or others,
demolish the house, and if any one threatens you, or the mayor, or the officers of
the city, arrest those who threaten you, and fail not to execute this order without
delay, and make due return hereon.
By order of the City Council,
Joseph Smith, Mayor.
In a proclamation printed in the same issue of the Neighbor, Smith deemed the
paper filthy and pestilential, and its publishers a set of unprincipled scoundrels,
blacklegs, counterfeiters, debauchees, and villainous demagogues.

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 fleeth when no man
pursueth.89
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, 1 86 1, 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
Wisconsin, and in August, 1865, by Mr. Kellogg himself in
Chicago. G. F. Kimball of the Belleville Advocate began
to print insides in i866.90 By 1880 twenty-one establish-
ments were supplying 3,238 papers, most of them in the

western states. Although the idea 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 more
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 with 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, Wisconsin, 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.91 Walsh soon had all of the business, and kept
91 Andreas, History of Chicago, II, 500-501.

it throughout the war. By this time he was distributing
fully one-half of the total issue of the Tribune and the Times,92
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 effect 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

xcii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
that could compete with them, inasmuch as the newspaper
could not get the Associated Press dispatches without their
•consent."3
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
1 86 1, and never fully regained their circulation until after
the fire. The papers of the larger towns, owing to improved
telegraphic service, 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 state. 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 1860 and 1870, however, there was a
remarkable increase in their number. The census returns
for 1860 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.94 By 1870 these figures
had grown to thirty-nine dailies, ten tri-weeklies, four semi-
weeklies, 364 weeklies, eleven semi-monthlies, seventy-two
monthlies, and three quarterlies — a total of 505, a remarkable

INTRODUCTION . xciii
increase over the 286 in 1860. Perhaps the most noticeable
features of this comparison are the slight increase in dailies
and the great increase in monthlies. The actual numerical
increase in dailies between 1850 and 1860 was less by only
one paper than that between 1860 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 1871 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 50 5. 95 The following decade
more than doubled that, showing in 1880 a total of 1,017,
divided into seventy-four dailies, six tri-weeklies, 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:98
1870, 422; 1871, 499; 1872, 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
95 The totals include a few semi-annual and annual publications of which no
note is taken in the analysis.

Rowell's figures are made up at least six months earlier than the census figures.
Rowell's number for 1871, for instance, is really for 1870.
xciv ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
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 n. The Inter-Ocean got out
a number on October 10; the Republican and the Mail
appeared on the i2th. 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 pf 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, but 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 1871 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,
xcviii ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
eight were morning and four were evening. The tendency
in the smaller cities has continued toward evening papers.89
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 1900.
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

INTRODUCTION xcix
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
c ILLINOIS HISTORICAL 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 is that of the Joliet 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 Inter-Ocean. The Bullock presses of the
establishment were promptly equipped with the new inven-
tion, and thus the Inter-Ocean was the first paper to be
printed on a perfecting press.100
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
loo j) yj Luskj Politics and Politicians of Illinois, 514.

and Belleville Zeitung. Of these a considerable number
then became identified with the Granger movement ; within
1873 and 1874 several new Granger and anti-monopolist
papers 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 Unicorn Greenback, Barry; Express and Sentinel,
Chicago; National Era, Danville; Independent, Erie;
Independent, Graf ton; 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; Review, Roodhouse; Herald,
Shelbyville; Industrial Banner, Yates City. The Green-
back party thus brought into existence a number of papers,
di ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
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,101 thirty-three to religious purposes, and one
hundred and twenty-four to a wide variety of interests, from
oriental archaeology to trap shooting.
101 A total of 120 "periodicals with some sort of literary interest dominant in
their pages" were attempted in Chicago prior to 1880: twenty-seven in the forties,
and fifties, forty-six from 1860 to 1871 inclusive, and forty-seven in the seventies
after the fire. Of the whole number, forty continued for less than one year, and
twenty-two for one year only. Fewer than half, therefore, outlasted a year. Herbert

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, six Roman Catholic, one Adventist, 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 feeling 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

in journalism who began their labors before the Civil War,
and one has died while this work was in preparation whose
connection with Illinois newspapers began in 1848.
Incomplete as it is, however, perhaps this survey may
serve to give some order and significance to the kaleido-
scopic record which follows in the bibliography.

nation in Illinois and Missouri. Its editors were J. M. Peck,
at first alone, afterward associated with E. Rogers and Rev.
Washington Leverett. With the beginning of its second year it
was known as the Western Pioneer. It was finally discon-
tinued as a separate publication about the close of 1838, and
combined in January, 1839, with a paper published at Louis-
ville, Ky., and New Albany, Iowa, entitled, in 1839, Baptist
Banner and Western Pioneer. (See Rock Spring Pioneer) . H
TELEGRAPH, January 20, 1836 to 1882 : Founded by R. M. Tread-
way and L. A. Parks. Published by Messrs. Treadway, Parks,
and S. G. Bailey, 1836-1837; Parks and Bailey, 1837; Mr.
Parks, 1837; Mr. Parks and John Bailhache, 1837; Mr. Bail-
hache, 1837-1838. In 1838 S. R. Dolbee purchased a half
interest and firm continued until 1850 when Dolbee was succeeded
by Wm. H. Bailhache, son of John Bailhache. From 1852-1854,
E. L. Baker was one of the firm. Mr. Baker and L. A. Parks
conducted it, 1854-1855. In 1855 the Telegraph was merged
in the Courier (which see) and so remained until the death of the
Courier in 1861, when L. A. Parks and J. T. Beem and S. V.
Grossman revived the publication of the Telegraph. Parks and
Grossman continued its publication, 1861-1864; Mr. Parks and
Thos. S. Pinckard, 1864-1866; Mr. Parks, 1866; Parks and
Chas. Holden, 1866-1867; Parks, Holden, and W. T. Norton,
1867-1875; Holden and Norton, 1875-1880; Mr. Norton, 1880
to 1893. After 1888 the paper was published by the Alton Tele-
graph Printing Company. In 1893 W. T. Norton sold his stock
to W. J. A. Cousley and W. H. Bauer, who with other stock-
holders continue to publish the paper, with W. J. A. Cousley as
editor. Mr. John Bailhache was its editor, 1837-1841, and from
1841 for several years it was edited by Geo. T. M. Davis. It
was known simply as the Telegraph until April 3, 1841, when it
became the Alton Telegraph and Democratic Review. In 1853 it
became the Alton Telegraph and Madison County Record, which
name it retained until merged in the Courier. When the Whig
party died it became a strong Republican organ. During the
fall of 1836 great excitement spread over the country as a conse-
quence of John Quincy Adams's contest in Congress over the
right of petition. It is asserted that the Telegraph was the only
paper west of Cincinnati which supported Mr. Adams in that
struggle. January i, 1851, a tri-weekly was begun; in 1852 the
daily was begun; the weekly was continued.

OBSERVER, September 8, 1836- August 21, 1837+ : This paper was
first published in St. Louis as an organ of the Presbyterians.
When Elijah P. Lovejoy became its editor he began vigorously
and unrelentingly to assail the institution of slavery through its
columns. In 1836 he resolved to remove the press and material
of the Observer to Alton, Illinois. Before shipment much of the
material was destroyed and cast into the Mississippi, and the
rest met the same fate when it was unloaded on the wharf at
Alton. Notwithstanding these reverses, Mr. Lovejoy procured
a new press and the first issue of the Alton Observer appeared,
September 8, 1836. This new press, type, and material were
destroyed by a mob on the night of August 21, 1837. The third
press was ordered, and destroyed on the night of its arrival, and
the fragments were cast into the river. A fourth press was
ordered at once. It was shipped from Cincinnati and arrived
in Alton on the night of November 6, 1837. On the night of
November 7 Mr. Lovejoy was killed, his press broken up and
its fragments, too, cast into the Mississippi.1 Beginning
December 28, 1837, the Observer was printed in Cincinnati by
Elisha W. Chester and sent to Alton for distribution. Rev. T.
B. Hulburt supplied local news from Alton. This arrangement
was abandoned April 19, 1838. HS

' find ' for $35, and removed it to Iowa. From 1858 to 1870 it was used to print
the Cresco Plain Dealer, at New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa. Then George
E.Frost bought it for $100 and printed the Clear Lake Observer on it till about
1876, when it was again sold to F. A. Gates, editor of the Belmont Herald. For
about twenty years it remained in service at Belmont, Iowa, and was then sold

mation. In length of life it surpassed all other early periodicals
of predominantly literary tone. Its motto was "To please be
ours." In 1847 the proprietors, in order to meet a growing
demand for news alone, established the Chicago Daily Tribune,
as an offshoot to the Gem of the Prairie. The latter paper was
continued under the same name until 1852, when it was merged
in the Tribune, and published as the Sunday edition of that
paper, with the title Chicago Sunday Tribune. HUF

NORTHWESTERN EDUCATOR AND MAGAZINE OF LITERATURE AND
SCIENCE, January, 1847-1849: A monthly, edited 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-
cator: "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 inculcated 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 Educator 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. in, no. 2 owned by Frank
W. Scott, Urbana, Illinois. S
PORCUPINE, winter of 1847-1848: Edited by Charles Bowen and
Thomas Bradbury.
TRIBUNE, 1847 to date: Established by Joseph K. C. Forrest,
James J. Kelly and John E. Wheeler. Messrs. Forrest and
Kelly very early retired and Thomas A. Stewart became
editor. In 1847 the Gem of the Prairie was absorbed by the
Tribune and became the Sunday edition of that paper. The
Tribune was managed by Wheeler, Stewart and Scripps, 1848-
1851; T. J. Waite, manager, Wm. Duane Wilson, editor,
1852-1853. Gen. Wilson's interest was purchased by March
23, 1853, Henry Fowler, Timothy Wright and Gen. J. D.
Webster. On June 18, 1853, Joseph Medill came from Cleve-
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 23, Dr. C. H.
Ray and J. C. Vaughn were editors. At the same time Alfred
Cowles became a member of the firm, which was then composed
of Messrs. Medill, Ray, Wright, Webster, Vaughn, and Cowles.
Under the vigorous influence of Dr. Ray the paper soon became
of primary importance in Chicago and Illinois. 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 1860. March 26, 1857, Mr. Vaughn withdrew and the part-
nership name became Ray, Medill, and Company. In 1858 the
Tribune, being consolidated with the Daily Democratic Press,
was known as the Press and Tribune, issued by the proprietors
60 ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
of both papers (see Democratic Press). In 1861 the word
Press was dropped and the Tribune Company was organized.
Scripps, Bross, Ray, Medill, and Cowles were the principal
stockholders. In 1861 the Tribune absorbed the Democrat.
In 1 866 Horace White, who had previously been connected with the
paper and had acquired the stock of Mr. Scripps, became editor.
He was succeeded in 1874 by Joseph Medill. Under White the
Tribune had supported Horace Greeley, but Medill brought it
back into the Republican fold, where it has remained, though
manifesting a considerable independence.1 Mr. Medill died in
March, 1899, and was succeeded as editor by R. W. Patterson,
who was editor until his death, on April i, 1910. The Tribune
has been since 1908 in direct charge of Medill McCormick. It
has been a daily from its beginning. For many years it had
also semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and weekly editions, all of which
have been discontinued. The file at the office of the Tribune
is complete from about 1860. File, 1861-1876, in Boston

WATCHMAN OF THE PRAIRIES, 1847-1853+: First weekly Baptist

and Bross became its publishers. In 1853 Mr. Stone sold the
paper to Dr. J. C. Burroughs, Levi D. Boone and A D. Tits-
worth, and it became the H

was the chief and H. J. Western and A. J. Joslyn assistant edi-
tors. November 24 of the same year the paper was sold to Rev.
!The Tribune followed closely the lead of Greeley and the New York Tribune
in urging, immediately after the defeat of General Scott for the presidency in
1852, that the Whig party had lost its usefulness; and, after the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill had been passed in 1854, took the lead in the West, as Greeley and the
New York Tribune did in the East, in agitating a union, in the Republican party,
of all anti-slavery and anti-Nebraska elements.
"In 1856 I made as strong a fight for Fremont as was in my power," Medill
wrote, " worked for Abraham Lincoln against Stephen A. Douglas for senator in
1858; printed verbatim the great debates in which these two men were engaged,
and in 1859 began pushing Mr. Lincoln for the presidency."
In 1860 the Tribune put forth every effort for the nomination and election
of Lincoln, and after war broke out, was the most influential Union newspaper
west of New York City. It urged Lincoln to issue an emancipation proclamation,
opposed Johnson's reconstruction policy, upheld the impeachment proceedings,
defended the reconstruction acts of Congress, and supported Grant in 1868. Under
Horace White the Tribune was vigorously opposed to a policy of extremely high
protective tariffs, and not until 1874, when Medill secured control and the editor-
ship, did it support the prevailing policy of the dominant party. Under Medill
it was for many years a high-tariff paper, but it has long occupied a position of
great independence in both local and national affairs, and has gained, especially
under the editorship of Robert W. Patterson, a wide independent following.

weekly. In 1851 Mr. Schneider made it a daily. In 1854 the
publication of the Sonntag Zeitung was begun. In 1862 Schneider
sold his interest to Lorenz Brentano, who became editor. A. C.
Hesing became sole owner in 1867; Herman Raster became
editor, and remained in that position until 1891, when he was
succeeded by William Rapp. Hesing was succeeded in the
management by his son, Washington Hesing. By 1874 the
Sunday edition had been changed to Der Westen. The
Illinois Staats-Zeitung Company were editors and publishers,
and in politics the paper was Independent. In 1881 the weekly
edition and Der Westen were listed as Independent, the daily
edition as Independent-Republican. By 1907 the Sunday
edition had been changed to Westen Und Daheim. Since then
the daily, Sunday, and weekly editions have been Independent-
Republican. The Illinois Publishing Company are publishers.
The entire stock of this company, which was owned by Mrs.
Herman Raster and Richard Michaelis, is owned at present by
Walter R. Michaelis1 and Horace L. Brand. The Staats-Zeitung
was active in urging the movement which resulted in the forma-
tion of the Republican party. It strenuously opposed the Kansas-
Nebraska Bill and the extension of slavery. . ENAHUC

LITERARY BUDGET, 1852-1855+: Published monthly by William
Weaver Danenhower, a bookseller, who established the paper
as a medium for the advertising of books and periodicals. After
seven monthly issues it was changed, January 7, 1854, to a weekly,
with Benjamin F. Taylor as editor. T. H. Whipple 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
editorially, "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 channel. 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. Danenhower "became state leader of the 'Native
American' or 'Know- Nothing' party, which had during the year
preceding carried two eastern commonwealths and had shown
strength in the middle states. He announced that the Budget
would 'close its existence,' that he would 'launch his bark' once
more, and that his 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 to exemplify to the world that the pure fire of
American sentiment is sweeping over our vast prairies; that
hereafter America shall and must be governed by Americans.'"1 H

1 President Lincoln contributed the following anonymous note to the Washing-
ton Chronicle, June 6, 1863:
"EDITOR OP THE CHRONICLE: In your issue of this morning you have an
article on the Chicago Times. Being an Illinoisan, I happen to know that
much of the article is incorrect. As I remember, upon the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, the Democratic newspapers at Chicago went over to the opposition.
Thereupon the Times was established by the friends of the administration, Sena-
tor Douglas being the most prominent in establishing it. A man by the name of
James Sheahan, from this city, was its first and only editor nearly if not quite
all the remainder of the senator's life. On the political separation between Mr.
Buchanan and Senator Douglas, the Times adhered to the senator, and was the
ablest paper in his support through his senatorial contest with Mr. Lincoln.
Since the last presidential election certainly, perhaps since Senator Douglas's
death, Mr. Sheahan left the Times; the Times since then has been identical with
the Times before then in little more than the name. The writer hereof is not
well enough posted to say but that your article in other respects is correct." —

CHICAGO TIMES, +June 20, i86i-March 4, 1895+: After the
emancipation proclamation, the Times ceased to favor the prose-
cution of the war, and was bitter in its denunciations of Lin-
coln's administration. It became such a radical "copperhead
sheet" that General Ambrose E. Burnside, 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 Douglas was charged with the execution of the
order. On the morning of June 3, 1863, soldiers marched in-
to the press room and took possession. Mass meetings were held
during the day in advocacy of free speech and a free press. A
petition to President Lincoln to revoke the order was signed by
some of the most prominent Republicans and business men of the
city, and Senator Lyman Trumbull 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 onslaughts on the Democratic party. However, it
supported the Democratic candidates of 1876, 1880 and 1884.
In the fall of 1863, Franc B. Wilkie joined the editorial staff, and
in 1867 Andre Matteson became a part of the editorial force for
the second time. Ananias Worden was manager from 1861
to 1865; H. B. Chandler, 1865-1870; Mr. Storey became sole
owner in 1870, and made A. L . Patterson manager. The
establishment was 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, 1884 ; the paper went into the hands of a receiver and was
sold in 1887 to a new Chicago Times Company headed by James
J. West, who was manager. He was ousted later, and succeeded
by Huiskamp Brothers, with Joseph R. Dunlap as editor. In
1891 Carter H. Harrison formed the Newspaper Company and
bought the Times. Carter H. Harrison, Jr., was made business
manager, and Preston Harrison managing editor. March 4,
1895, it was joined to the Herald — hence Times-Herald, which
on March 28, 1901, was consolidated with the Record as the
Record-Herald. EWDNAHSUC

lished were got out with increasing difficulty, and the magazine
expired in August. According to Andreas, the failure was a great

CHICAGO, COOK COUNTY 83
LITTLE CORPORAL, July, 1865-1875: A monthly, in journal form,
devoted to secular, juvenile literature. Its motto was: "Fight-
ing against Wrong, and for the Good and the True and the Beau-
tiful." This excellent magazine was originally published for
the United States Sanitary Commission in connection with a fair.
Its success and popularity encouraged its continuance fora decade.
It was the first periodical from Chicago to secure wide attention,
and the first juvenile in the country to be read by children every-
where. It was the forerunner of St. Nicholas, of New York,
and influenced for the better the character of the Youth's Com-
panion of Boston. The names of the editors and publishers are
as follows: Alfred L. Sewell, editor and publisher, 1865 ; Sewell
and Edward Eggleston, editors, A. L. Sewell, publisher, 1866-

lication ceased in 1875. Vols. 15 and 16, 1872 and 1873, are in
the Evanston Public Library. H

POST, September 4, 1865-1874+ : A Republican paper, daily and
weekly, which until February 3, 1866, was published as the Post.
Then it appeared as Evening Post, and later as the Chicago Post,
but the title Evening Post seems to have prevailed after December
14, 1866. Established by William Pigott, who used the paper
successfully to effect the election of the "soldiers' ticket." At
first it was published by Pigott and Stanley G. Fowler, but after
a few months it was bought by David Blakely, who associated
with him in the business department his brother, C. H. Blakely.
For a short time General Hasbrouck Davis was editor. In 1867

was made editor. In the same year William H. Schuyler be-

ualist paper issued weekly. Early in 1867 a successor to the
Religio-Philosophical Journal was announced to appear under
the name of Spiritual Republic. It was not to be ' 'tied to any
sect or party . . . ' The editors purposed to "correct all
the evil of the world and set things in general to rights." Except
for one mention of it in the city directory for 1869, there is no
evidence that this paper appeared. The old name was being
used, moreover, in 1869, according to Rowell's newspaper direc-
frny for that year, which gives S. S. Jones as editor and the Religio-
Philosophical Publishing Association as publishers. S. S. Jones
was editor and publisher, 1870-1877, and proprietor, 1873-1875.
In 1879 and 1880, John C. Bundy was editor and manager.

REPUBLICAN, May 30, i865~March, 1872: A daily established by
an imposing list of stockholders, who were dissatisfied with the
Tribune, including Ira Y. Munn, John V. Farwell, J. K. C. For-
rest, and J. Y. Scammon of Chicago; Jesse K. Dubois and Jacob
Bunn of Springfield ; John Wood of Quincy ; J. Wilson Shaffer
of Freeport; A. C. Babcock of Canton; A. W. Mock of Kan-
kakee; and Henry Childs of Du Page county. The company
bought the plant — and the Associated Press franchise — of the
Morning Post. Charles A. Dana was made editor, A. W. Mock,
publisher. Dana did not assume his duties until well on in July.
In just one year these gentlemen withdrew. Dana was not
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. Denslow was made editor, George D. Williston, manager,
and publication was resumed August 5, 1865. After one year
Denslow withdrew and James F. Ballantyne became editor.
He was succeeded by Henry M. Smith, and he by John G. Nico-
lay in 1869. In 1870 Bunn, having become sole owner, sold to
a company consisting of Joseph B. McCullagh, John R. Walsh,
H. N. Hibbard, and William H. Schuyler. Burned out in the
fire, the Republican was bought by John Y. Scammon; it reap-
peared on October 12, and continued until March, 1872, when
it was succeeded by the Inter Ocean. Complete file in the library

Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, Drs. W. Danforth,
A. E. Small, and R. Ludlam bought the interest of Mr. Halsey,
the publisher. From that time the journal was largely filled
with reports of lectures in that school, and with the transactions
of the Chicago Academy of Medicine. After the completion of

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 title, "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
LAKESIDE MONTHLY, + January, i87i-February, 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 magazine 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, "Scribner's Monthly, the forerunner
of the present Century, began 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 become so keen, was
fairly on by the time the magazine had reached the zenith of its
ioo ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
career." Mr. Browne, sole proprietor and editor, broke down
in the spring of 1874, and the magazine suspended publication
with the February number. SCH

paper plate supply business and in imitation of the New York
Ledger, in the first few years it made a feature of stories of a good
class. Since the late seventies, however, it has deteriorated in
literary tone. The sensational, although not immoral, character
of the Ledger stories, and the use that the large mail-order houses
have made of its advertising columns, have given this paper an
unusually long life and extensive circulation.

CHICAGO ALLIANCE, December 13, i873~March, 1882+: A non-

Prof. David Swing, Rev. Robert Collyer, Dr. Hiram A. Thomas
and others. With a slightly religious trend in its material, it
was devoted in the main to literature, particularly that of the
ii4 ILLINOIS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
essay form. In its beginning Rev. J. B. McClure was managing
editor; the other editorial work was shared by all. But one by
one the editors withdrew, before long leaving Prof. Swing as
editor-in-chief and chief contributor. His weekly sermon-essay
was the leading literary feature throughout the existence of the
paper. In 1874 the Alliance Publishing Company was the name
by which the group of editors and publishers was designated. In
1875 this company is named as publishers, while the list of
editors given includes Prof. Swing, Rev. C. D. Helmer, H. W.
Thomas, D.D., H. N. Powers, D.D., and Prof. William Mathews.
H. L. Ensign was the business manager. Professor Swing's
name appears as that of editor again in 1876. In 1877 Mr. Mc-
Clure disposed of his interest. In the same year Francis F.
Browne became literary editor, and A. H. Hiding took charge of
the political department. In 1878 Rev. Z. S. Holbrook pur-
chased an interest and assisted Professor Swing. Browne and
Hiding soon retired and. Mr. Holbrook sold to Henry L. Shepard,
who in 1879 and 1880 was filling the position of editor. Dixon and
Shepard are named as publishers in 1879, and the Alliance Associa-
tion in 1881. The failure of the paper early in 1882 is said to
have been due to the unscrupulousness of the business manager.

March, and the new periodical appeared as the Weekly Magazine
(see Western Magazine) . The title Chicago Alliance was changed
to Alliance in third volume and in the next volume to Alliance
and Radical Review. HC

DAILY TELEGRAPH, March 2, iSyS-May 9, 1881+: Established
by S. F. Norton as an organ of the Greenback-Labor party.
After a few months William T. Collins purchased a large interest
and made the paper Democratic. In the spring of 1881 the
property was secured by the projectors of the Morning Herald.
The last issue was dated May 9, 1881. The Herald began May
10 with Frank W. Palmer as editor-in-chief, with Will D. Eaton
as assistant, and J. W. Scott publisher and business manager.
In 1882 Palmer retired; John F. Ballentyne became editor, with
Slason Thompson and David Henderson assistants. Up to this
time the Herald had been Republican; it now became Inde-
pendent, with Republican proclivities. In August, 1883, John
R. Walsh bought a controlling interest, which he, with James
W. Scott and A. F. Hatch, held until after 1892. With this
change in ownership the Herald became Democratic, with Mar-
tin J. Russell as editor, assisted by Horatio W. Seymour. After
two or three years Seymour became editor, and continued to
serve as editor until March 4, 1895, when the Herald was com-
bined with the Times, and the two were continued in the Times-
Herald until March 28, 1901, when this paper was combined

WESTERN MAGAZINE, +i879~March, 1882+ : It had been founded
three years before at Omaha. Upon its being brought to Chi-
cago, Mrs. Helen Elkin Starrett became the editor. It was,
according to the sub-title, "a literary 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 Alliance
in 1882 it added Rev. David Swing to its list of regular con-
tributors, its outlook was more than ever promising. The
Weekly Magazine published its first number May 6, 1882, 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 magazine from the newspaper in its
greater deliberateness and earnestness, and yet without those
qualities of cumbrousness and extensiveness common to the
magazines." Although many contributors of high rank were
engaged, under the same business management that ruined the
Alliance, the new Weekly Magazine ended its career in bank-
ruptcy in 1884. WH

volume 21, thus fixing the date of establishment as 1859. Since
this paper is nowhere found dated earlier than 1879, it seems
probable that it was founded elsewhere and moved to Chicago
in the late seventies. H

Grear appeared as editor, 1855-1857. Then it passed into the
hands of Governor Dougherty and espoused the cause of Democ-
racy as representea by Stephen A. Douglas, but later it supported
the principles of the Breckenridge wing. The paper was next
sold to a joint stock company, and edited by Mr. McKinney.
In 1860 it came under the control of James Evans, who, in 1861,
sold it to William Jones. In 1863 it was suppressed because it
interfered with the work of recruiting volunteers. The order of
suppression was soon revoked and the publication was revived
by Joel G. Morgan, who, in 1864, sold it to J. D. Ferryman.

editea by Dr. Sidney S. Condon. T. F. Bouton became owner

been himself the most widely known of Illinois country editors.

first numbers of the Gazette were published in Chicago by the
Chicago Journal Company, there being no place yet built in Kan-
kakee where a press could be set up. This continued for a few
weeks only, when the press and type were sent to Kankakee,
and for a time the work was done in the open air under the shade
of a friendly tree. In December, 1886, the firm became Charles
Holt and Sons. March, 1905, Clarence E. Holt purchased his

of the laws of the Union to 1815 ; Robert Black well and Daniel
1 Vol. i, no. 30. is dated December 13, 1814. If the paper was regularly
issued and numbered, it must therefore have been begun June 24, 1814. But an
advertisement in the one number extant is dated May 28, 1814.
2 Matthew Duncan, the first printer in Illinois, was an elder brother of
Governor Joseph Duncan. He was born in Kentucky: after graduation from
Yale College, he returned to his native state, and for a time edited a paper at
Russellville entitled the Mirror, which had been established November!, 1806.
From that he became editor of Farmer's Friend, begun in the same town in 1809.
Ninian Edwards, first territorial governor of Illinois, had been a lawyerat Russell-
ville and was his triend. Through him Duncan secured the printing of the first
edition of the Illinois Territorial Laws, issued from his press in 1813. In the next
year Duncan moved his printing establishment to Kaskaskia and began the Illinois
Herald. In December of 1814 he issued the first pamphlet published in Illinois, and
in June, 1815, the first book, volume one of "Pope's Digest." Having sold his
paper to Daniel P. Cook and Robert Blackwell in 1817, Duncan abandoned journal-
ism and entered the army, in which he rose to some prominence, and saw active
service in the Black Hawk War. On October 4, 1832, he was made captain of
Rangers, and in 1833 became captain of the First Dragoons. After four years of
service he resigned from the army and went into business at Shelbyville, where
he died on January 16, 1844. (Julia Duncan Kirby, Joseph Duncan, Fergus

Elias Kent Kane seems to have been the real editor until he was

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 22, 1824, the editorship passed to William Orr, who

ILLINOIS REPORTER, i826-i829(?): William Orr was editor. He
denied affiliation with any party in the State, and felt impelled
to 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. Schrader
was Breeze's publisher for a while, and was probably succeeded
in 1828 by R. K. Fleming. A

presidential canvass, the only paper 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 politics I am determined to make Gov. Reynolds
choose between Smith and 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-

ILLINOIS EMIGRANT, + (before December 26, i8i8)-September 18,
1819+ : Published by Eddy and Kimmel and edited by Eddy.
This, the second paper in Illinois, was a four-page, four-column
sheet, well printed in the early years. In the issue for April 3,
1819, is a criticism of Governor Bond for signing the law estab-
lishing a state bank, and for becoming president of it. The last
issue was vol. i, no. 54, September 18, 1819. With the next
number the name was changed to AE
ILLINOIS GAZETTE, + September 25, i8i9-i83o(?) : The paper was
continued by Eddy and Kimmel until May 22, 1820, when the
partnership was dissolved and James Hall took the place of
Kimmel as partner in the publishing, and as editor. This ar-
rangement continued until November 16, 1822, when Hall with-
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 n, 1826. They sold
October 18, 1828, to Alexander F. Grant, who conducted the
paper alone until November 8, then, with Thomas Palmer, as
Alex F. Grant and Company until November 20, 1830; then
Grant alone became publisher. The last number in the Library
of Congress is vol. io; no. 30, December 18, 1830, and is prob-
ably near the end of the paper's career. Under Eddy and Kim-
mel the Gazette was alive and fairly vigorous. Hall made it per-
haps the best edited paper in the state, with the possible exception
of the Edwardsville Spectator. He preserved a neutral position
in politics for some time, and at all times kept the columns open
to discussion. But after he became familiar with state politics
the political tone was vigorous.2 Hall gave the paper a very
unusual literary tone. Under subsequent editors its qualities
deteriorated to insignificance. MSAE

ILLINOIS STATE REGISTER, + August io( ?), 1839, to date : Established
by John York Sawyer, at Edwardsville as Illinois Advocate. It
was published at Springfield by Wm. Walters and George R.
Weber as editors and publishers until 1845. Mr. Walters and
Charles H. Lanphier were editors and publishers, 1845-1846. On
the death of Mr. Walters in July, 1846, Mr. Lanphier became
editor and owner. He and George Walker were its editors and
publishers, June 4, 1847-1858. On January 2, 1849, the Daily
Illinois State Register was first issued. Mr. Walker having died,
Mr. Lanphier and Edward Conner edited and published the
paper in 1858-1859, Mr. Lanphier becoming sole proprietor
late in 1859, and so continued until November 24, 1863. During
1860, the late Congressman William M. Springer, edited the
paper. Mr. Lanphier' s connection with the Illinois State Reg-
ister closed in 1863, when it was suspended for a few months.
It was revived by the Illinois State Register Publishing Company
under the business management of George Judd and was
edited by I. N. Higgins. On November 12, 1864, the paper was
again suspended. On January i, 1865, John W. Merritt and
sons, Edward L. and Joseph D., became proprietors and revived
the paper with John W. Merritt as editor-in-chief and Edward
L. Merritt as his associate editor. January i, 1866, Edward L.
and Joseph D. Merritt became proprietors under the firm name
of E. L. Merritt and Brother. In 1873 John W. Merritt was
succeeded as editor by Edward L. Merritt. In 1877 the Mer-
ritt Brothers sold the paper to an incorporated company, com-
posed of John M. Palmer, John Mayo Palmer, Edward L. Mer-

ritt and James M. Higgins. In 1880 this company sold the
property to G. W. and J. R. Weber, sons of George R. Weber,
who was connected with it in 1839, and Charles Edwards, John
H. Oberly, and G. R. Weber edited it. Soon afterwards the
paper was turned over to a trustee. Early in 1881 John M.
Palmer bid it in on a sale and then sold it to George Smith, H.
W. Clendenin, and Thomas Rees of Keokuk, Iowa, who issued
their first number of June 19, 1881, under the firm name of Smith,
Clendenin and Rees. Mr. Smith died in 1886 and the proprietor-
ship was then placed in an incorporated company composed of
H. W. Clendenin, Thomas Rees, and the heirs of Mr. Smith, the
title being the Illinois State Register Company. A few years
thereafter the Smith interest was purchased by the company
controlled by Messrs. Clendenin and Rees, which is its present
owner. Mr. Clendenin has been editor-in-chief since 1881,
and Mr. Rees has been business manager during the same time.
The Illinois State Register has been a Democratic paper since
1836, when Mr. Walters assumed its publication. EDBJAHSUF

VANDALIA, FAYETTE COUNTY
ILLINOIS INTELLIGENCER, +1820-1832+ : Moved from Kaskaskia to
Vandalia where Elijah C. Berry was succeeded by a brother, Wil-
liam Berry, and William H. Brown. The Intelligencer for Feb-
ruary 15, 1823, contained a severe criticism of the convention
legislators, written by Brown. To the article was 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. William
Berry." The next number bears Blackwell's name instead of
Brown's and contains signed articles by William Berry, Wm.
H. Brown, and R. Blackwell, explaining the change. The paper
now became pro-slavery. For some time between March 19,
and May 7, 1824, Berry was financially embarrassed and the
paper was suspended for a short time. Governor Coles fur-
nished David Blackwell money to run the paper, and stipulated
that it should support the anti-convention party. Samuel D.
Lockwood was editor, representing Coles, but his name does
not appear in the paper. On the surface, Berry disposed of his
interest to David Blackwell, whose prospectus asserting that he
would "give his uniform opposition" to the convention was
published May 14. David Blackwell published the Intelligencer
until February 4, 1825, when Robert Blackwell and Company,
printers to the state and publishers of the laws of the United
States, became the publishers. With the number for June 24,
1825, Robert Blackwell alone became publisher. With Robert
Blackwell's return to control, the paper again became friendly
to slavery. Judge James Hall bought a half interest January
17, 1829, and was editor until 1832, when he left Illinois. The
paper supported Adams, but " felt no animosity to Jackson and
stood ready to do the same justice to him as to Adams." In
March, 1832, Hall sold to Sherman and Greiner, owners of
Illinois Whig, and the two papers were combined, with S. C.
Sherman as editor. EMWUHSA

January, 1833, Judge Hall moved to Cincinnati, where he pub-
lished The Western Monthly Magazine, a Continuation of the
Illinois Monthly Magazine until December, 1835. Hall was the
chief contributor, and in such articles as Notes on Illinois, People
and Manners, and Customs of the West, and in essays on educa-
tional topics, stories such as The Missionaries, The Indian Wife's
Lament, The Money Diggers, and many poems, he realized the
ideal suggested in an article on Periodicals which he published
in the number 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. ... I am much better 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." Among those who helped to satisfy in
the pages of the Monthly the varied tastes of Illinoisans were
Morris Birkbeck, John M. Peck, Governor Edward Coles, Dr.
Asa Fitch, George Russell, and Salmon P. Chase. "The Illi-
nois Monthly Magazine was one of the most typical of the western
journals," remarks William C. Cairns, in his monograph On
the Development of American Literature jrom 1815 to 1833.
"Raw and crude as the West was. there is a fin de siecle tone
to these publications that is not found in the eastern magazines."

continued the publication with no. 9, which appeared July 15,

shtp, the paper showed Whig tendencies, but was especially not-
able for its distinctly literary tone. It is said in the history of
