gave substantial aid through his paper to the organi- zation of the Republican party. Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson and Theodore Parker were almost daily visitors at his office and the friendships formed then were continued through life. The Common- wealth became the Daily Telegraph later and was consolidated with the Traveler eventually.
Mr. Baldwin bought the Cambridge Chronicle and edited it for a few months only. In 1859 he came to Worcester. With his two sons, John Stan- ton Baldwin and Charles Clinton Baldwin, he bought the Worcester Spy. The Spy was founded in Bos- ton by Isaiah Thomas in 1770, and removed to Wor- cester in 1775 where the first issue was printed May 3. 1775, just after the Battle of Lexington. The daily edition was established in 1845. When Mr. Baldwin took charge of The Spy the paper had had some lean years though it was fairly prosperous. The memorable election of 1860 and the subsequent events that culminated in the Civil war made new de- mands on the publishers of daily newspapers. Mr. Baldwin and his sons took advantage of the oppor- tunity. Better facilities were secured. The tele- graphic news came into use and the editorial page of the newspaper was looked upon as the political guide of the Republicans. The friends of The Spy used to call it the "Worcester County Bible"; its political opponents expressed their dissent from the editorial opinions of the paper by calling it "The Lying Spy."
As the newspaper grew in circulation and pres- tige it became a very profitable business enterprise. Mr. Baldwin and his sons acquired competences. A brick building was built on Main street opposite the City Hall for a home for the newspaper. Mr. Baldwin had not only the efficient help of his sons, whose knowledge of the printing business and con- duct of the counting room relieved him of a large share of detail to devote his attention to editorial work and his literary and political interests, but he surrounded himself with capable newspaper men. The late Captain J. Everts Greene was perhaps the best known among his assistants.
Mr. Baldwin was the head of his paper until his death, though he was not able to do office work during the last few years. He was a thorough news- paper man of the old school. He was a shrewd busi- ness man as well as a clear and forcible writer, far- sighted and uncompromising.
He entered political life to further the principles that he advocated in his newspapers. His leader- ship was recognized by his Republican associates in Worcester county when he was selected the year after lie came to Worcester as a delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1860. His in- fluence at the convention was felt and it was at his suggestion that Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, was nominated for vice-president. At the next Congres- sional election in 1862, Mr. Baldwin was elected a representative by a large majority. He was re- elected in 1864 and 1868 by even greater majorities. His successor was George Frisbie Hoar, late United States Senator.
In Congress he served on the Committees on Ex- penditures, on Public Buildings, on the District of Columbia, on Printing and on the Library. He was not a frequent speaker, but many of his speeches were notable efforts. He spoke March 5, 1864, on state sovereignty and treason, the House being in Committee of the Whole. He made a brilliant speech April 7. 1866, on congress and reconstruction in the house, and again January 11, 1868, in reply to Hon. James Brooks, of New York, on the negro race, he made a memorable speech. Some of his speeches were published. He was active and influential in
committee work. He made an effort to secure an international copyright act during his last term, and his speeches and reports entitle him to stand among the benefactors of American literature.
Mr. Baldwin will be remembered not only for his achievements in the political world and as a con- gressman, not only as one of the great editors of the civil war period of Massachusetts, but as an author and student. At the close of his life he wrote in his autobiography that he had been a close student all his life and he had never known a time when it was not a pleasure for him to study. This auto- biography, which, with his portrait painted by the late William Willard, was left to his grandson, Robert S. Baldwin, is an important contribution to the history of the eventful period in which he lived. It gives his political and religious views as well as his part in the activities of life.
After he was a preacher he acquired the French and German languages. He made a special study of archeology. He was interested in science and was one of the first to take up the process of mak- ing portraits by the daguerreotype process and some pictures of his family and others that he took have been preserved. While in congress he had an op- portunity for archeological research. His book on Prehistoric Nations was published by Harpers in 1869. ' In 1872 he published Ancient America, which had a large sale and attracted much attention. In 1880 he published his genealogy of the Descendants of John Baldwin, of Stonington, Connecticut. In 1881 in collaboration with Rev. William Clift he published a Record of the Descendants of Captain George Denison, of Stonington. In 1882 he pub- lished a partial genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Stanton, of Stonington. In 1847 he pub- lished a collection of his poems entitled : "The Story of Raymond Hill and Other Poems." The book reveals both the poetical temperament of the author and skillful use of English in verse as well as prose. The last time Mr. Baldwin appeared in a public assembly as a speaker was in Mechanics' Hall, June 24, 1878, at the exercises attending the re-interment of the remains of Isaiah Thomas, when he read a very interesting account of the labors of Mr. Thomas in the revolution.
Mr. Baldwin was a member of the American Oriental Society of New Haven, established in 1843. He was elected a member of the New England His- toric-Genealogical Society April 22, 1868; of the American Antiquarian Society, October 21, 1869, and an honorary member of the Worcester Society of Antiquity, January 2, 1877.
One who knew him intimately wrote the fol- lowing at the time of his death: "Mr. Baldwin was a man of imposing stature, much exceeding six feet in height. of large frame and great muscular strength. In his early manhood, his massive head. erect figure and stalwart proportions, indicative of activity and power, gave an aspect of uncommon force and dignity. His mind like his body was large and vigorous. His political sagacity was highly esteemed by those who had long been associated with him. Though so much of a recluse, especially in later years, he knew human nature well and could foresee with great accuracy the political effect of any measure or event. His election forecasts were in general singularly near the truth, and his judg- ment of men, their character. capabilities and popu- larity, was rarely at fault. His advice in political matters was often sought and highly valued. It was delivered confidently but without arrogance and more than once those who had refused to be guided by it at an important juncture had cause to regret that it had been rejected. As a writer Mr. Baldwin was
312
WORCESTER COUNTY
direct, clear and forcible. His style had no ornament. It was sometimes rugged, but always strong and sincere. His wide range of reading and retentive memory gave him a vast store of facts, and his knowledge of political history was especially large and accurate. But though his profession of journal- ism kept his mind occupied much with such sub- jects, his favorite pursuit was the study of antiquity, both the dim past of which authentic history gives only hints and suggestions, and the less remote but almost as difficult, field of family genealogy to which most of his later years, while his health allowed, was devoted."
Mr. Baldwin married, April 3, 1832, Lemira Hath- away, daughter of Captain Ebenezer and Betsey (Crane) Hathaway, of Dighton, Massachusetts. Captain Hathaway, born in 1779, was the son of Stephen Hathaway, born in 1745, and the grandson of Nicholas Hathaway, born in 1722. His mother's maiden name was Hope Pierce. Lemira Hathaway was born March 6, 1813, and died April 2, 1904.

Mr. Baldwin learned the printing business thorough- ly in all departments, and when he came to Wor- cester with his father was well equipped to conduct the mechanical and business departments of the newspaper as well as the editorial department. Dur- ing the larger part of the time that The Spy was owned by the Baldwin family, from 1859 until 1898, he was the active and responsible head of the paper. After his father's death in 1883 the firm of John D. Baldwin & Sons continued for five years to run the paper with Mr. Baldwin at the head. The Spy Publishing Company was organized April 23, 1887, under the corporation law of Massachusetts. John S. Baldwin was president : Charles C. Baldwin, his brother, treasurer, and Robert S.
