Requiescat in pace.


The Logansport Journal, the organ of the Republican party of Cass county, was conducted by Thomas HI. Bringhurst from 1854 to 1870. Mr. Bringhurst still lives and resides at Logans- port.


John D. Howell established The Flag, a Democratic paper. at Rochester, in 1852, but it soon died.


The Howard Tribune was started at New London in 1849. It was designed to represent all political shades of opinion then in vogue, and in order to do so had three political departments-

Whig, Democratic and Abolitionist. The first was presided over by Charles D. Murray, afterwards a State Senator ; the second by Moses R. Wickersham, and the last by Dr. J. F. Henderson. In 1852 the paper was removed to Kokomo, its name changed to the Kokomo Tribune, and Clinton Hensley was installed as editor. It was then, as now, a weekly journal, but at that time it was published somewhat irregularly on account of the scarcity of quinine. It may seem strange to you that this anti-periodical drug should be used as a motive power to run a newspaper, but nevertheless this was the case in the Indian Reserve thirty years ago. More than once were the weekly visits of the Tribune interrupted by the ague, but when the merchants replenished their stock of quinine it renewed its visit- ations.


In 1856 the Tribune was purchased by Theophilus C. Phillips, who was its editor on the 4th day of July, 1877, when he died. Since then it has been published by his sons.


Charles D. Murray and Moses R. Wickersham, two of the first editors of the Tribune, are dead, and the other editor, Dr. Henderson, still lives at Kokomo. His sons now own and con- duct the Kokomo Dispatch, as do those of Mr. Phillips the Ko- komo Tribune. The Tribune and the Dispatch are two of the very best papers published in the State.


The Vincennes Sun, the first paper established within the boundary of Indiana, deserves more than a passing notice. It was established by Elihu Stout on the 4th of July, 1804. The material for the paper was taken to Vincennes on pack-mules from Lexington, Kentucky. Mr. Stout conducted the Sun until 1845, when he sold it to John R. Jones, who had previously published the People's Friend at Covington. Mr. Jones con- ducted the paper with varying success until 1856, when it was purchased by a company of prominent Democrats of Knox county, who, in September of that year, disposed of it to George E. Greene, then of Louisville, Kentucky, who, in addition to publishing a weekly edition, started a semi-weekly one. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Greene are dead. On the death of the lat- ter, in 1870, the Sun went into the hands of Dr. A. J. Thomas and General R. E. Kise. These gentlemen conducted it until November. 1876, when it was purchased by Royal E. Purcell,

its present owner, who for some two years has been publishing a daily edition.


In 1830 Robert Y. Caddington started the Vincennes Gazette. He continued its publication until 1854, when he sold it to Har- ney, Mason & Co., who published it, with the addition of a daily edition, until 1859. In that year they sold the paper to Dr. H. M. Smith, who published it until 1871, or thereabouts, when it died.


Mr. Caddington's editorial work showed care and precision, and he had the full confidence of his political friends. He was a bitter partisan, but his politics never interfered with his social relations. During a residence of more than forty years in Vin- cennes he was held in high esteem by those who knew him. He is probably the oldest man now living in Indiana who has been identified with the press, his age being fully eighty years. He resides in the city of Laporte.


William E. McLean became editor of the Terre Haute four- nal in December, 1851. The fournal was then issued weekly, and was the only Democratic paper published in the Terre Haute congressional district. Mr. McLean conducted the four- nal until the spring of 1856, when it was sold to Grafton F. Cookerly and Thomas J. Browne. Colonel McLean has served in both branches of the State Legislature, and during the war he raised and commanded the Forty-third Regiment of Indiana volunteers. He is now a citizen of Terre Haute.


David S. Donaldson then conducted the Wabash Express. Sometime in the spring of 1851 a daily edition of the Express was issued, it being the first daily paper published in Terre Haute, but in a short time it was abandoned. Mr. Donaldson is still living and resides at Terre Haute.


Thomas Tiger then conducted the Fort Wayne Sentinel. He and Mr. S. V. B. Noel, formerly of Indianapolis, established the Sentinel in 1833. Mr. Noel withdrew from it in about one year, and from that time until 1865, with but a brief intermis- sion, Mr. Tiger was the Sentinel's sole owner and manager. He saw it grow from a small weekly into a daily of large cir- culation and influence. He died at Fort Wayne in February, 1875, in the 68th year of his age. One who knew him well thus speaks of him : " He did not usually write much, but he wrote

well, and for years his party had not an abler editor in the State. He was peculiarly happy as a paragraphist, often con- densing into a few sentences, pointed and expressive, the sub- stance of a column in other hands. Had he been as ambitious. as he was able he might have risen to distinction as a party leader."


John W. Dawson conducted the Fort Wayne Times from 1854 to 1860. He was a native Indianian, and was lame from his boy- hood. He was a bright, precocious boy, and became a strong, intellectual man. He was a vigorous writer, radical in his. views and uncompromising in his opinions, warm in his friend- ships and unrelenting in his animosities. He was appointed Governor of Utah in 1861, but soon resigned and returned to- Fort Wayne, where he died some four years ago.


A number of editors-notably, Colonel Isaiah B. McDonald, of Columbia City ; Judge E.V. Long, of Warsaw ; Rufus Magee, of Logansport, and Joseph J. Bingham, of Indianapolis, followed so closely in the footsteps of those I have named as to tempt me to sketch them, but as I can not do so without transgressing the limits I imposed upon myself before commencing this address, I am forced to pass them by. There are, no doubt, other papers and other editors worthy of mention, but I have forgotten them ; and, besides, it would be impossible in the time allotted me, to sketch all the papers and their editors of twenty-five to thirty years ago. Those entitled to be named who are not should at- tribute the omission to want of memory and want of time, and not to a deliberate purpose to ignore them.


I have thus sketched the newspapers and newspaper men of Indiana of the olden time. What I have said has been mostly from memory, so I doubt not some mistakes have been made, but I feel confident they are neither great nor many. If I shall be instrumental in preserving the memory of a single one from forgetfulness I shall be well paid for my labor. Many of those I have named have gone to "the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns," and those who remain must feel they are nearing its borders. When we are all gone may those who come after us be able to truthfully say that our work redounded to the public good and that the world is better for our having lived.
