REPUBLICAN, May 30, 1865-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.
