NINETEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Welsh, was one of the most prominent men of his day in the public affairs of the county and State. In 1829 the partnership was again dissolved and Mr. Welsh was succeeded by George A. Barnitz. In April 1835, Adam J. Glossbrenner became a member of the firm, succeeding Mr. Bar- nitz; and the following month, through the melancholly ending of Mr. King's life, David Small became a member of the firm. The following year the paper was enlarged by 213x25 inches; and another enlarge- ment, which made it 26} by 39} is recorded in 1858. Having been elected sergeant at arms of the national house of representa- tives, Mr. Glossbrenner retired from the firm that same year and Mr. Small then sold a half interest in the paper to William H. Welsh. This firm published the paper until 1866. During the war, owing to the high price of paper, the size was decreased to 234x38 inches. Up to this time the Ga- zette had been, in a manner, a sort of peri- patetic publication and its history is largely a long list of removals from place to place about town, but in 1865 it settled down in the Jordan building in the north-western angle of Centre Square, where it remained for twenty-four years and then, in 1889, re- moved to its present home, 12 South George Street.
In 1886, Adam F. Geesey, Stephen G. Boyd and Guy H. Boyd became the owners of the paper and some time later a joint stock company was organized. Professor Boyd became the editor and remained at the head of the paper until 1891, when he was succeeded by H. B. Shoch, of Harris- burg, formerly of the Philadelphia Times and Harrisburg Patriot. In November, 1887, the publication of a daily edition had been begun in conjunction with a weekly edition and four years later the latter was made a semi-weekly publication. In July, 1893, the circulation having grown to such
proportions that it was impossible to get out the editions with sufficient promptness on the old fashioned press then belonging to the paper, a new and more modern press, a Cox Duplex, was purchased and the pa- per was then changed from a four to a six page sheet. The old press thus supplanted was the first cylinder press ever brought to York and in its days was considered a marvel of printing machinery.
April 1, 1894, Editor Shoch retired and Robert F. Gibson was made editor. The paper at this time was entirely in the hands of Mr. A. B. Farquhar, who had, by suc- cessive purchases from the Boyds in 1890, from Mr. Geesey, in 1891, and from other shareholders later on, secured practically the entire stock of the original company. Upon Mr. Shoch's retirement Mr. Far- quhar thoroughly re-organized the paper. Messrs. T. B. G. Hiestand and J. F. Mitzel took charge of the business department; and Messrs. J. C. Herbert, of Harrisburg, and J. H. Gibbons assumed charge of the local department, which has always been esteemed by the management as the chief news department of the paper and has ac- cordingly always been ably conducted. The paper continued under this management until January 4, 1897, when Mr. Farquhar, whose personal views upon the money ques- tion were in opposition to the attitude which the management of the paper had given it, in support of the Chicago plat- form, sold his entire interest to Love, Hies- tand and Company, the present publishers. Mr. Gibson retired from the editorship of the paper and T. B. G. Hiestand assumed the editorial management, with James C. Herbert as associate editor. This manage- ment was continued until June, when Mr. Gibson was re-elected editor and has since had editorial charge of the paper.
The German edition of the paper was continued until 1891, when, upon the pub-

lication of the semi-weekly edition, it was discontinued. The Sunday issue, which is at present published, was started September 16, 1894.
In the matter of departments and in the literary finish of what is written for the pa- per, the Gazette is the best edited paper in the 19th District. It is the only paper in York which makes a specialty of original editorials and this department is supple- mented by able correspondence from both the national and State capitals. It receives the regular Associated Press service, from which it culls and carefully edits the most interesting telegraph news. But, however well conducted, no paper in a community like York can achieve success through such departments as these alone. A local paper must depend for its success, both in securing subscribers and advertising, upon the amount of local news which it presents and the manner in which this is written. In this respect the Gazette is correctly con- ducted. It not only collects the general news to which other local papers pay atten- tion but gives space, mostly in the form of departments, to local politics, local secret societies, local industries, local business af- fairs, sports and other matters. Its news is also arranged with the same taste that is shown in its preparation and among news- paper men it is regarded as almost a model local paper. When, in 1894, a special edi- tion was issued in connection with a change in its typographical appearance, contribut- tions were received from such eminent men as Grover Cleveland, Charles A. Dana, Col. John Cockerell, Edward Atkinson, Henry Watterson, William M. Singerly and others, who recognized the paper as one of merit and accompanied their contributions with words of laudation. Since then the paper has continued its career of improvement.
York Dispatch. In proportion to the im- portant issues with which it dealt, wrought
and achieved, the Republican party in its earlier career, down into the most trying days of the Civil War, went ineffectively championed as to party press in York county. There were of course patriotic pa- pers which supported the union cause and urged the supremacy of the party ; but none of them had sprung from the new party it- self and the odor of other days and ante-bel- lum political revilement manifestly handi- capped their usefulness and impaired their capacity to inspire homogeneity of feeling. They had lingered to the last in the Whig organization and had been drawn into the new party by the great political vortex which had brought together the anti-slav- ery elements of the old parties for the for- mation of the Republican. Thus, while their services were admittedly patriotic, the element of expediency which had dictated their course was none the less manifest. Such papers, could not, of course, win the entirely cordial and enthusiastic allegiance and support of mere Union men-of that large and loyal element which had been moved to change political faith upon the issue of the union or its dissolution-and the war Democrats, for instance, who had become fixed Republicans as the most rea- sonable and effective course for them to pursue. Out of the animosities of other days, memorable for the bitterness and malignancy of their political strife and par- tisanship, had been bred lasting dislikes for many of the old Whig organs, more acutely perhaps in York county than in many other communities. It was felt, therefore, that there was a field for a new party paper -one born of the party itself and free of the contamination of the past. Weighed, dis- cussed and finally acted upon, this idea on June 7, 1864, the day that witnessed Lin- coln's renomination at Baltimore, culmin- ated in the appearance of the True Demo- crat, a four page weekly of strong Republi-

can proclivities, with nine columns of news, editorial advertisement and miscellany to the page. The paper was edited and pub- lished by Hiram Young and was prepared and printed in the McGrath building on South George Street, adjoining which the Colonial Hotel now stands. For a com- munity such as York at that time, it had a phenomenal success and speedily outstrip- ped its venerable contemporaries. Its cir- culation soon attained 3,200, and improved and enlarged facilities of publication be- came imperative. In 1867 the plant was . therefore removed to 10 East Market Street, the present home of its daily and weekly successors, and the first steam power employed in printing in York was introduced there. May 29, 1876, Mr. Young, started the daily edition under the title of York Dispatch. This paper also achieved a great success and to-day it is the most widely read local paper in York county. Mr. Young's long association with it, a circumstance without parallel among the papers of York, has given the Dispatch a greater influence and prestige in the moulding of public opinion, than any of its contemporaries enjoy. This circum- stance, the fact of being practically the only organ of the Republican party in the county, has also contributed not a little. The policy of the paper is broad-not con- fined to partisan politics-for while it is cordial and energetic in the support of its party's principles and candidates, it is also lionest and fearless enough to condemn the faults and shortcomings of its own leaders and men. Mr. Young and his paper dis- play a warm interest in the welfare of the farmer, not only in the distribution of en- lightening information, but in contending for wholesome and just legislation in his behalf.
In its efforts along these lines the paper has secured not merely, local, but national
recognition, especially from the Wool Growers organization and in a recent let- ter, Judge Lawrence, president of the Na- tional Association, writes: "If we could have had in each of the principal wool growing States, five, or even three, such newspapers as the York Dispatch, wool growers would have secured just and ample protection." Success has also come from the fact that the Dispatch is quick to en- courage all local interests; and much of the splendid development of York has been as- sociated with the helpful efforts of the pa- per. In the mere, yet essential, depart- ment of news the Dispatch has also ac- quired a flattering prestige through its promptness and thoroughness. Such a paper must grow if fed by communal growth, expansion and enlightenment and this is peculiarly true in a community like York, emerging as it is from the trammels of primitiveness with which a simple but phlegmatic race of pioneers endowed it.
Twice of late the Dispatch has found it opportune to adaptitself to an enlarged field of usefulness as a newspaper. In October, 1895, it disposed of the Hoe double cylin- der press which the town had considered a marvel of printing machinery, and intro- duced a Scott perfecting press with a maxi- mum hourly capacity of 24,000; and also a complete stereotyping outfit. In April, 1896, two Mergenthaler linotype machines were added to the outfit and the plant is now regarded as the best equipped for newspaper work-outside of Phila- delphia-in the southeast section of Pennsylvania, with hardly an equal in the entire State outside of a few of the larger cities. Associated with Mr. Young in the conduct of the various departments are his four sons Edward S., Charles P., William L. and John F. They are young men of practical experience; and it is Mr. Young's intention that they shall succeed

him as the owners and publishers of the Dispatch.
The first Hanover paper was Die Pennsylvanische Wockinschrift, running from April, 1797, to February, 1805, suc- ceeded by the Hanover Gazette (German) which ceased publication in 1864, after an existence of sixty years. The first English paper, at Hanover, the Guardian, ran from 1818 to 1835, and was succeeded by the Hanoverian, while the Intelligenceblatt, which started in 1824, was soon removed to Adams county. The Hanover Spectator was started in 1841 as the Democrat; the Hanover Citizen, English and German, in 1861; and the Hanover Herald, June, 1872.
The Hanover Herald was founded in June, 1872, by M. O. Smith, of York, and P. H. Bittenger, of Hanover. Mr. Smith had founded the Glen Rock Item in 1870, and sold his interest in that journal to his partner, N. Z. Seitz. The Herald was a seven column folio, printed on a hand press, and was independent in politics. The busi- ness grew and a power press, the first in Hanover, was procured in 1876, when the paper was enlarged to eight columns. By 1881 a further increase in business de- manded the introduction of steam power. In April, 1885, Mr. Bittenger retired, since which time Mr. Smith has been the sole proprietor of the paper. In July, 1894, an evening edition was commenced, styled the "Evening Herald," which now averages I,- 000 circulation-the weekly edition having an average issue of about 2,000 copies. The office is up to date, being fitted out with a Thorne type-setting machine, first-class cylinder and job presses, run by electric motors and a gas engine.
The Record. The first daily newspaper in Hanover, Pa., the Daily Record, was started August 11, 1892, by Joseph S. Cornman, publisher of the Citizen, a weekly that had existed half a century.
On April Ist, 1875, the Record Publish- ing Co., comprising P. J. Barnhart, A. R. Brodbeck, L. D. Sell, H. N. Gitt and H. D. Young was organized, and the materials of the Weekly Citizen and Daily Record were purchased from Mr. Cornman, and of the Weekly Advance from H. D. Young. This company continued the Daily and estab- lished the Weekly Record, with J. S. Corn- man in charge, who with Mr. Young, alter- nated as editors until September 9th, follow- ing, when Ed. J. Frysinger, then on the staff of the Philadelphia Ledger, but with previous training on inland dailies and a practical printer and newspaper man, be- came editor and manager which responsi- bility he yet holds. When Mr. Frysinger assumed control the Daily had only 600 daily circulation and 850 weekly, the oppo- sition being the Daily and Weekly Herald. On Jan. Ist, 1897, sixteen months later, the Weekly Record had a sworn circulation of 3,426, and the Daily Record 1,100, which is conceded a remarkable growth. In poli- tics the Record is Democratic.
The Delta Times was founded about 1876; the Delta Herald, established Sep- tember 1, 1878; the Dillsburg Bulletin in 1876, as the New Era; the Glen Rock Item, in 1870; and the Wrightsville Star, in 1854.
The Cumberland County press goes back to the Carlisle Weekly Gazette in 1785, and its successor the Carlisle Eagle, which changed successively to the Herald and Expositor, and Herald and Mirror, and then to the Herald. The Cumberland Register ran from 1804 to 1814, the Carlisle Gazette from 1822 till about 1827; and the Messen- ger of Useful Knowledge from 1830 to 1831. The American Volunteer was star- ted in 1814, and has continued under Demo- cratic management up to the present time. The Valley Sentinel was started at Ship- pensburg April 22, 1861, and removed May 22, 1874, to Carlisle, where in addition to
145
NINETEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
the weekly, a daily was established Decem- ber 13, 1881. The Evening Sentinel, an in- dependent Democratic daily, has been es- tablished since 1886. The first paper of Shippensburg was a small sheet, whose name is now unknown. It was followed by the Shippensburg Free Press, started April 10, 1833, and the Intelligencer, September 19, 1833, both of which were consolidated into one sheet which soon died. The Ship- pensburg Herald started in May, 1837, and died in 1839; the Cumberland and Frank- lin Gazette existed for a year or so from April 1, 1840; and the Cumberland Valley continued from 1841 to 1843; while the Valley Spirit, started in 1846, was soon re- moved to Franklin county. The Weekly News was established April 26, 1844, and is now an independent sheet. The Shippens- burg Chronicle was founded February 4, 1875, and like the News is an Independent paper. The first two papers of Mechanics- burg, the Microcosm, started in 1835, and the Independent Press, established in 1844, soon went down. The Independent Jour- nal was founded in 1872 by a consolidation of the Valley Independent, originated in 1868 as the Valley Democrat, and the Cumberland Valley Journal formerly the Weekly Gazette and originally the Mechan- icsburg Gleaner which dated back to 1854. The Saturday Journal, now a society paper, was started in October, 1878, and among the papers that have gone down at Mechan- icsburg may be named the Farmers Friend. started in 1874; the Republican, 1873; and the Semi-Weekly Ledger, 1877. The first paper at Newville was the Central Engine whose existence was spanned by the year 1843. The Star of the Valley started in 1858 and in 1885 was united with the En- terprise under its present name of Star and Enterprise. The Weekly Native started in 1858, and Cupid's Corner in 1883, but both
have gone down. The Newville Times, star- ted in 1885, was originally the Plainfield Times. The Mountain Echo is an inde- pendent paper of Mt. Holly Springs, and the Observer is a local sheet of New Cum- berland.
The press of Adams county has not yet reached the first century of its existence, for its earliest newspaper, the Centinel was born at Gettysburg November 12, 1800. Robert Harper the founder of the Centinel died in 1817 and fifty years later it was consolidated with the Star under its present name of Star and Sentinel. The Star had been established in 1828. The Compiler was started September 16, 1818, and has been Democratic in politics ever since. The York Springs Comet was established at Gettysburg as the Century and in 1877 was removed to the former place. Littlestown has had a number of short lived papers: The Weekly Visitor (started in 1847), Weekly Ledger, Crystal Palace, Littles- town Press, Littlestown News, The Cour- ier, and Littlestown Era. The present pa- per of Littlestown is the Independent. The Record was started at New Berlin about 1885 and continued for some time, while Abbottstown has had two papers, The Yel- low Jacket, started in 1840, and a German paper, the Intelligencer, which went downl in 1850 under the name of the Wochen- blatt. The New Oxford Item was founded in April, 1877.
There are two college journals published in the district, the Pennsylvania College monthly and the Dickinsonian monthly, while the religious press is represented by the Lutheran Quarterly of Gettysburg, and the Christian's Guide, Lutheran Missionary Journal, Sunday School Worker, and the Teachers' Journal which are monthly pub- lications of York.
CHAPTER X.
MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.
Historians. Day in his Historical Col- lections of Pennsylvania gives some valu- able and important information of each of the counties of the Nineteenth District, while Rupp, Mumbert and Glossbrenner in their histories have preserved a large amount of general and local history. Wing did good work in History of Cumberland county and Hon. John Gibson edited care- fully the History of York county published in 1886, of which the special history was prepared by George R. Prowell and in which valuable articles appear which were written by Mrs. Mary C. Fisher, George R. Prowell, H. L. Fisher, R. C. Bair, Profes- sor Frazer, R. F. Gibson. Glossbrenner was assisted by Carter, and Smith pub- lished a history of York county in the Hanover Herald.
In the history of Cumberland and Adams counties published in 1886, in which good work was done, the general history of Cum- berland county was written by Durant and Richard, while the bench and bar and township and borough history was pre- pared by Bellman. The general history of Adams county was prepared by Bradsby except two chapters furnished by Sheely, and the local history was written by Leeson.
Slavery and Redemptioners. In 1780 the legislature of Pennsylvania passed an act for the gradual abolition of negro slav- ery and 1850 the last slave in the district was free. In some townships where the Quakers predominated no slaves were ever held, as that denomination was opposed to
the institution of human servitude. In the present territory of York and Adams coun- ties there were 471 slaves in 1810 and but 6 in 1820. There were quite a number of slaveholders in Cumberland county, which had 18 slaves in 1768; 228 in 1810; and 24 as late as 1840. A large number of manu- mited slaves passed through the district between 1820 and 1850, and on August 8, 1819, the York County Colonization so- ciety was formed to aid in transporting the freed slaves and free negroes to Liberia, Africa.
When the fugitive slave law was passed the "underground railroad" had many agents in the district. William Wright was a prominent agent and York was a sta- tion on one of these roads that passed to Co- lumbia. Another road came through Adams county to Dover in York county and thence to Boiling Springs in Cumber- land county and to Middletown Ferry on the Susquehanna river.
Another evil almost as bad as slavery was the importation of redemptioners dur- ing colonial days. The redemptioners were principally from Germany and were to be sold for so long a time to pay for their passage to this country. In some instances children were kidnapped, and often treated worse than slaves. In 1760 there were 100 redemptioners in York county and quite a number in Cumberland and Adams coun- ties, and as late as 1781, 49 of this class, whose time had not expired, still remained in York county.
