LEDGER, 1872 to date: A literary and family magazine, published weekly. Although the "Ledger Company" is the name given to the firm of editors and publishers, Samuel H. Williams was really the editor for almost twenty years. W. Scott McComas was associated with him in 1880. In 1891 W. D. Boyce acquired the Chicago Ledger, and the W. D. Boyce Company have been editors and publishers to date. Begun in connection with a news- 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.

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. Huling took charge of the political department. In 1878 Rev. Z. S. Holbrook pur- chased an interest and assisted Professor Swing. Browne and Huling 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. A consolidation with the Western Magazine was effected in 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
