HISTORY OF THE PRESS.


·


attainable number is that of Friday, July 17, 1840, Vol. VI., No. 1, William Stuart, editor, with office at the same place, and the paper is designated The Chicago American, prior to which date the daily issue had been established. On July 24, 1840, a notice is published and continued through several numbers, wherein it is stated that to give every inducement for the payment of accounts and more extensive circulation of the Amer- ican, butter, eggs, flour, wood, and produce generally will be received at the office, at market prices, if de- livered soon. But as the history of the Weekly has now become merged in the history of the Daily American, no future reference will he made to the former issue of the paper.


The Chicago Daily American was issued from the office of the Weekly Chicago American, by William Stuart, on the ninth day of April, 1839, in the third story of Harmon & Loomis's building, at the corner of Clark and South Water streets, and was the first daily newspaper issued in Chicago, and in Illinois. The size of the page was eleven by sixteen and three-fourths inches. On December 20, the American was issued as an evening paper .* May 11, 1840, the editor was fined $100 by Judge John Pearson, of the Circuit Court, for contempt. July 28, 1841, William Stuart was appointed Postmaster, and relinquished his editorial work here. October 9, of that year, Alexander Stuart became pro- prietor, with W. W. Brackett editor. July 20, 1842, Buckner S. Morris bought the office. Mr. Brackett re- tired, and on October 18, 1842; the Daily American ceased.


THE CHICAGO EXPRESS was first published by William W. Brackett, from 92 Lake Street, on October 24, 1842, and was a daily afternoon paper, with a weekly edition published Tuesdays. It was a continuation of the old Daily American, and mounted the legend " For Presi- dent, Henry Clay," at the head of its editorial column ; and this fact will explain Mr. Brackett's retirement from


Brackett


the American. The Express was a five-column folio, thirteen by nineteen and a half inches in size. It was maintained until April 20, 1844, when it was sold to a company of gentlemen for $1,500, among whom were George W. Meeker, John Frink, Buckner S. Morris, Jona- than Young Scammon, S. Lisle Smith, Jacob Russell, Walter R. Newberry, Giles Spring, Grant Goodrich, and George W. Dole. The office was then situated, it is stated, in the third story of A. Rossetter's block, 82 Lake Street, opposite the Tremont House. The weekly edition, together with the daily, was discon- tinned.


THE CHICAGO DAILY JOURNAL was first issued on April '22, 1844, by an editorial committee composed of William H. Brown, George W. Meeker, Jonathan Young Scammon, S. Lisle Smith and Grant Goodrich; said com- mittee having been appointed by the association that purchased the Daily and Weekly Express. The edi- torial management was entrusted to Richard L. Wilson and J. W. Norris, who were also its publishers, and these gentleman advocated those Whig principles that became as much a part of the Journal as its subscription list. The paper was published from the old office of


* On June 6, 1840, William Stuart issued from the office of the Daily Amer- ican, a weekly campaign paper called the Hard Cider Press. It was a strenn- ous supporter of Harrison and T'yler, uniform in size with the Daily American, and ran until October 24, 1840.


the Express for a few months, when it was removed to the Saloon Buildings, on the southeast corner of Lake and Clark streets. After the defeat of Henry Clay by James K. Polk, Mr. Norris withdrew from the paper and Richard 1 .. Wilson, the pungent paragrapher, con- tinued it alone. In the volume for 1845, the number for October 30th is numbered 254 that for October 31st is 155. the serial numbers being continued from the latter number. On December 29, 1845, Nathan C. Geer who had previously been in charge of the press- room , was associated with Mr. Wilson, as editor and publisher, and on January 6. 1846, the caption that had been printed in Old English disappeared and plain English letters took its place. September 27, 1847, the cu- partnership between Messrs. Wilson & Geer was dis- solved. Richard 1. Wilson continued the paper alone until he was appointed Postmaster by President Zachary Taylor in 1849. In December, 1847 Benjamin F. Tay- lor, who is alleged to have been the first dramatic critic employed upon a Chicago newspaper, retired from the - Journal force, with which he had been a long time con- nected, but subsequently renewed editorial labors on that paper. The Journal of April 5, 1848, announced that "the telegraph wires are at last all up to Detroit, but no communication has as yet been received beyond . the South Bend," and the issue of the 6th thus com- ments upon a statement in the Democrat of the same date, to the effect that "the first flash from Detroit traveled along the line yesterday." "The Democrat forgot to add that the 'flash' came 'along the wires' by stage from Kalamazoo. No communication passed on the wire yesterday from Detroit, Niles being the farthest point reached." In this issue (the 6th of April , how- ever, the Journal says : "The first flash came through from Detroit this morning at 9 A. M. By the dispatches it will be seen we have dates from New York of yester- day at 2:30 o'clock."


Richard 1 .. Wilson, whose health was seriously im- paired by the premature discharge of a cannon, which he was helping to fire, on the 3d of April, 1847, in honor to the victory of Buena Vista, retired from the Journal on the roth of February, 1849, and was succeeded by Charles L. Wilson. On the Sth of March, that year, George E. Brown became one of the publishers, and in July the offices were removed to the Journal building, 107 Lake Street. In September Mr. Brown retired. January 2, 1851, the editors were Richard L. Wilson and Charles L. Wilson, the former gentleman having


·


Charles & Wilson


been removed from his position in the post-office de- partment by President Millard Fillmore. January 26, 1853, the paper was published by R. L .. and C. L. Wil- son and R. H. Morris, and was called the Daily Chi- cago Journal. December 1, 1853, the publishing office was removed to 50 Dearborn Street, opposite the Tre- mont: On December 2, 1854, Mr. Morris retired from the editorial and publishing department of the paper. leaving R. 1 .. and C. L. Wilson as editors, and C. H. Peirce associated with them in charge of the business department. January 4, 1855, the paper was denomi- nated the Daily Chicago Journal, while on February 10. the title was transposed again to the Chicago Daily Journal, from a font of shaded Old English text : and in 1856 the name of the paper was The Chicago Daily

Journal. In December, 1856, Richard I .. Wilson died, and the firm became C. L. Wilson and C. H. Peirce. At this time Andrew Shuman was associate editor, Ben- jamin F. Taylor literary editor, and George P'. Upton city and commercial reporter. In 1857 the Journal bad a severe struggle for existence, but it was evidently the ebb-tide of its prosperity, which was successfully " taken at the flood " that has since " led on to fortune."


THE FIELD-PIECE, a campaign paper, was issued from the office of the Journal about June 10, 1848, as an advocate of Whig principles and the claims of Gen- eral Zach Taylor and Millard Fillmore to the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. It was continued weekly during the campaign.


Hooper Warren, the indefatigable and earnest aboli- tionist, issued the first number of the CHICAGO COM- MERCIAL ADVERTISER, on October 11, 1836, as a weekly paper, of which Edward H. Rudd was the printer ; the office being located on Dearborn Street, near South

Water. The paper was a "liberty " paper, and lived about a year. Mr. Warren subsequently moved to Lowell, LaSalle County, and with Zebina Eastman published the Genius of Liberty, also an anti-slavery paper, in January, 1841.


On April 4, 1840, appeared THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, published by Charles N. Holcomb & Co., in the third story of the Saloon Buildings, corner of Lake and Clark streets. The pages of the paper were eighteen by twenty-four and three-fourths inches in size. Of this


EU Ram


newspaper, the first to be called the Tribune in the United States, Edward G. Ryan, subsequently Chief Justice of Wisconsin, was editor; and it is said of this gentleman that he was one of the very ablest writers ever in Illinois. The Tribune was of an excellent typo- graphical appearance, and was a decided credit to its management during those early days of journalism. In the early part of 1841 the forms were sold to Colonel Elisha Starr, of Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee Journal arose from the debris of the Tribune. Jonathan Carver Butterfield, one of the oldest printers in the city at the time of his death, July 7, 1854. worked on this paper and K. K. Jones was roller boy and carrier.


THE UNION AGRICULTURIST AND WESTERN PRAI- RIE FARMER was inaugurated in January, 1841, by the Union Agricultural Society, incorporated February 19, 1839, and to which act of incorporation an amendment was made, opproved January 31, 1840. The first trus- tees of the society were Abraham Holderman, Levi Hills, Joshua Collins, Salmon Rutherford. S. S. Bullock, David Shaver. B. H. Moores, S. Delano, Benjamin B. Reynolds and Henry Green, of LaSalle County; Holder Sisson, Calvin Rowley. J. A. Gooding, William Smith, William B. Peck. Reuben Beach, John Blackstone, Charles Reed, Cornelius C. Van Horn and John Dean Caton, of Will County; William B. Ogden, Joseph Naper. Socrates Rand, E. Peck. Lewis Ellsworth, Seth Johnson, William P'. Caton. R. A. Kinzie, Russell Whip- ple and J. S. Wright, of Cook County; Isaac Hicox,


Matthias Mason, Arthur Patterson, Mr. Bartlett, I. G. Rogan, William Jackson, Seth Washburn, Joseph Wick- ham, Ziba S. Beardsley and Willard Jones, of McHenry County; General McClure, James T. Gifford. Colton Knox, Rice Fay, Ira Minard, Isaac Wilson, John K. Livingston, R. C. Horr, Mr. Risk and Joel McKee. of Kane County. Under the auspices of this society The Union Agriculturist was issued, with John S. Wright, the corresponding secretary, as editor. The officers of the society, who were the official publishers of the Union Agriculturist, were: John Dean Caton, of Will County, president; Levi Hills, of LaSalle County, Hol- der Sisson, of Will County, Lewis Ellsworth, of Du Page County, James T. Gifford, Kane County, Seth Wash- burn, McHenry County, vice-presidents; William B. Ogden, Cook County, treasurer: John S. Wright, Cook County, secretary. The motto displayed at the head of the editorial column was, "In Union is Strength." There were two numbers issued, as a species of pros- pectus; prior to the issuance of the volumes hereafter described, and this led to the designation of the con- tinuous issuance as the new series. These two numbers were evidently but a tentative issue, and, the journal meet- ing with a favorable reception, the management state that, " it was with fear and trembling that the enter- prise was entered upon, but it is continued with the most perfect assurance of success." It size was fifteen and one-half by ten and three-fourth inches, eight page. of four columns. The journal was, as its name implies, devoted to agricultural, arboricultural, horticultural and pastoral interests, with the customary corner for the in- struction of the Priscillas of the household. The ar- ticles in this number are ably edited and exhibit care and skill in their preparation. The typography is very creditable to Holcomb & Co., printers, Saloon Building. It is generally conceded that John S. Wright was the ablest agricultural editor of the age, but he was many times termed visionary for the utterances he made predicting the future of the city ; yet these predictions have been dwarfed by its actual advance in trade. wealth and population. In October, 1841, the officers were changed, the new regime being : James T. Gifford of Kane County, president; Lewis Ellsworth of Du Page, Theron I). Brewster, LaSalle, William Smith, Will. Seth Washburn, Lake, vice-presidents; E. W. Brewster. Kendall. treasurer; John S. Wright, Cook County. seeretary. In January, 1842, the size of the paper was increased to twelve pages and miscellaneous advertise- ments were inserted. Volume III, No. 1. January. 1843, was issued by J. S. Wright, editor and publisher, at 112 Lake Street, and John Gage, editor of the mechan- ical department. The name of the publication is, in this issue, simply Prairie Farmer, and it is made in magazine form of seven and one-half by ten and one-

half inches, containing twenty-four pages, two columns to the page. In July, 1843, J. Ambrose Wight was as- sociated with Mr. Wright in the editorial work. In October, 1844, the office was removed to No. 65 Lake Street. During the years succeeding prior to 1858, the editorship and proprietorship of the paper were sub- stantially vested in J. S. Wright, J. A. Wight and Luther Hlaven, with several transpositions of authority. The horticultural department being conducted by John .1. Kennicott.
