ITS ORIGIN AND GROWTH. BY WILLIAM T. C000E9UALL. A Diicottrie Delivered at the Fifth Ohio Editorial Convention, held at Cleveland, January 19(a and 20th, 1858. . , , . , Ho who writes the history of aa epidemic must tell tad title.. He caa enliven bis pages somewlial, with sketches of noblo citizens, who during 'peril, have been prompt to render aid or council wherever it was required, and yet have survived all the baneful influences of malaria which struck down hundreds around them; but unless tho historian confines himself to essays upon such traits of character, his work will consist mainly of mournful descriptions, painful details of distressing events. 1 I am not required to sketch tho progress of an epidemic; but wore I to write a history- in detail of Newspapers in Ohio, I would write quite as fully of death as of life standing like men and women of great vigor and endurance in a community, which a pestilence has decimated, there are a few Newspapers in this State, concerning whose vigorous careers the historian may find data fo? cheerful paragraphs. With a few generalizations upon the dead, I propose to speak of the living sketching, at different periods, characteristics or circumstances of tlio Ohio Newspaper Press '.hat in contrast to what is, those whom I address may see where progress has been. Change, if not revolution, is the first law of Pioneer life. Mechanical, social, or political clinngo affects the press as powerfully and as immediately as it affects any of the institutions of civilization. The American Newspaper of 1808 differs from tho American Newspaper of 1800 just as tho American people as American mechanics, or science, or politics, or religion or as American society differs from that of 1800. At the opening of the eventful century, whose meridian characteristics, the Editors of 1808 observe and record, tho Press of theNorth-Wcst-ern Territory was a very feeble Instrumentality. Ten years before the fulfillment of tho eighteenth century a "jour printer" was an unknown character in any classification of the inhabitants of the North-West. About that time there was talk "away-dpwn-east" of a town "away-out-west," which govo fair promise of swift growth, and men of all trades and professions were attracted to it. In 1798 its importance had so augmented that the Genoral Government was constrained to give it a post ollice; and in the same year a man, named William Maxwell, who had a heart for desperate adventure, to tho wondcrin.g eyes of its fivo hundred inhabitants, presented a village newspaper. . The Cextisel or the North-Western Territory "open to all partiei but influenced by none'' was the first journal printed within that geographical triangle, formed by, tlio northern lakes and the Ohio and ii isHipsippiJ rivers, which in its wonderful transformations furnishes the most interesting of mutlern examples of peaceful development. The initial number was is sued on the Dtli day of November, 17Uo. It was printed on a halt-sheet royal quarto, by a double-pull Ramage press. The type was small pica and long primer the paper coarse and dark colored. ; Tho Centinel, changed in 17'JG to Free-man'i Journal, lind no competitor until May 28th, 17'J9, when The Western Spy and Hamilton haxettz made KB anretrance. It was a super- royal sheet, published weekly at "200 cents a year: 7 cents for a singlo copy." in loUO there were two papers in Cincinnati, and one at Chill cjthe the first inland town in the North-West which had a press. When Uluo hecame a state, in 1802, there were two weekly journals published within its borders-the Wetttrn Sjy at Cincinnati, and the Scioto batclle at Clullicotlie. Their united cir culation did not exceed sir hundred copies. They were in no sense organs of opinion. Printed on coarse, dark, rough-edged paper, (brought chiefly from Georgetown, Ky., on horseback) without column rules with indistinct divisions between articles or advertisements with large typo exhibiting the old fashioned long S (8), such copies as still exist present a remarkable contrast to the ordinary county pa per of 1808, not only in size and style, but in the character and arrangement of their contents. null the exception qrmarriage and obituary notices, which were oT'lensmmediatelv under the editorial head, perlmpTn notico of a public vendue, and a few advertisements of runaway ap prentices, strayea cattle, or absconding wivep, tho Ohio journals of 1802 contained public documents and details of foreign nnd domestic intelligence, winch had been read on the Atlantic seaboard weeks before it was known west of tho Alleghanics. In the spring or fall the Spy would sometimes be without its eastern exchanges for four consecutive weeks; and occasionally its supply of paper would tan, so that only ono number could bo issued in a month, or if it did appear regularly, its size and the shndo of its complexion would vary witn each issue. On the 31st of July, 1802, the Spy contnined news from France, dated May 17th; from Lon don, May 10th; from Now York, July S)th; from Washington, July zolh. In 1803 President Jefferson's Message was delivered to Congress on' the 15th of December. The Spy of January Cth, 1804, published it. 1 - In the Spy of June 1st, 1803 the latest nows from Chillicothe was dated May '2lst.J During three quarters of the year 1804 the Wettcrn Spy was tho only paper published in Southern Ohio. ' On the Uth day of December in that year it had a rival in the Liberty Hall and Cincinnati Mercury, issued by Rev. W 111. J. lirowne, who wits printer, publisher, preacher, editor, book-seller, almanac maker, and patent modicine vender the Inst occupation, in that varied catalogue, furnishing basis for the conjecture that patent medicines are a constituent element ol newspaper support, as well as a standard illustration of the business advantages of liberal advertising, r. ' It is a fact which fills tho mind with astonishment, in-view of the wonderful chmges re corded by thai paper and its successor-the Cinnnnaft Gazette that t' e boy who distributed the first number of the Liberty Hall to its 200 subscribers, Rev. Samuel J. Rrowne, aftorwards its editor and publisher is now a hale old man, ready to write lotter or make a speech on the Early Dav, at an hour's notice. t The Liberty Hall In its appearance and In its contents was a slislit improvement upon its nredecessors. It was printed on a royal sheet. in the oock-loft. of a log cabin, on the South-east corner of Third and Sycamore streets, where the Cincinnati Commercial establishment bow stands. ' ' In 1805, the ir(rn Spy and the Liberty Hall, published weekly when the supply or paper did not fail, wero the journals or Cincinnati; which had then 060 Inhabitants. ' Dcsides these, there were in the State, for a population numbering not less than 60,000 persons, the Scioto Qazettt at Chillicothe, and the Wetttrn Star at Lebanon, established in that year .by jonn Aicbean now neaerai supreme Judge. In 1810, Ohio had 230,700 inhabitants, and 14 weekly Newspapers. The names and date of origin of all of them I have not been able to traco, but aa among them, I ean mention The WetternSpy Cincinnati established, 1709 The &io(o (Jiuette Chillicothe, 1800 1804 1805 liio Liberty Hull Cincinnati, The H'eslfrn Star Lebanon, The Steubenvilte Herald, 1800 1809 phio Patriot it ew Lisbon, The newspaper offices of 1810, knew no divis ion of labor, except as between "jour and ap prentice. Leaders, paragraphs, clippings and "stealings" wore all done by the samo hand a hand dexterous witn the scissors, ir not with the pen, ( . . The stirring evonts of 1812 'gavo increased interest to domestic intelligence; and 1813 and 1814 may be mentioned as the period of extras. Then the shrill cry of the newsboy was first heard in Cincinnati. The "Ancient Metropolis" was the western head quarters for tidings from the scat of war, and "Latest from Chillicothe" was an attractive heading. ' The earliest extra of which I have seen a copy, printed on coarse paper with rough edges, was dated Oct. 1st, 1814. In addition to a few items of news, it contained the President's Message, delivered to Congress on the 20th of September. ' . Fonts of type without tlio old fashioned long "s"nnd without the awkward combinations "ct," "so, "th, "sk," "si," "si, "st," were introduced in Cincinnati in 1810; and whenon tlirj5th of July, 1010, ihomas 1'altner printed the Brit number of tho Cincinnati Gazette on new type, with column rules, with plain lines between the advertisements, and with what typos would cnll a "careful make-up," It wag more like the modern newspaper than any of its Westernpredecessors, or cotcmporaries. The Liberty Ball and the Gazette were united on the 15th of December, 1815. Between that time and 1820 there were at different periods, one semi-weekly and five weekly papers in Cincinnati. The first Supplement to a Western paper was issued from the Gazette offico, April 8th, 1815. The first semi-weekly was issued by Morgan, Lodge k Fisher, then the proprietors of the Cincinnati Gazette, on the 9th day of May, 1819. , , . Then there were in the Gazette office three stands for cases and two Ramage presses, on which the forms wero inked with felt balls, which a stout boy was required to handle briskly. Tho circulation of the Gazette was about 1500 of the Spy about 1200 copies. . I have been unable to find regular data respecting the multiplication of newspaper offices in Ohio, outside of Cincinnati between 1815 and 1825, but I can state that in 1825 forty-six Ohio towns had C3 journals of which 6 were in Cincinnati, 3 in Columbus, 3 in Lancaster, 2 in Chillicothe, 2 in Dayton, 2 in Xenia, 2 in Zunesville, 2 in Mt. Vernon, 2 in Wooster and 2 in Canton. Of tho journals then existing there are, with the Bamo name, only thirteen still published: The Scioto Gazette. Western Star. . Steubcnville Herald. - Ohio Patriot. . . Ohio Repository. Cincinnati Gazette. Cleveland Herald. Painesville Telegraph. Western Reserve Chronicle. Guernsey Times. St. Clairsvillo Gazette. - ' . Ohio Eagle, (Lancaster.) . Lancaster Gazette. But two editors and publishers of 1825 are yet in the ranks of the Ohio fraternity John, -Saltan, of tho Ohio Repository, at Canton, and Benjamin Briggs, of tho Kcwark Advocate. Between 1825 and 1835 important changes nnd distinct progress mark the history of the Ohio press. Before sketching its growth for that period, I desire to tracV tho origin of newspapers in a few counties for which I have been able to procure data, prior to 1820. . The first paper in Franklin county was started by Joel Buttles, at Worthington, in 1811. In 1813 it was removed to Columbus, and was called The Wettrrn Intelligencer. In 1812, Clinton couuty first had a journal. . Rice Gaddis then started The Free American, at Wilmington. , The first, journal 011 tho Western Reserve was the Tbump or Fame, by T. D. Webb, at Warren, Trumbull county, in 1812. In 1818, the Thump of Fame became The Western Reserve Chronicle not the first or tlio last example, in news paper history, of a common sense reduction of what claimed to be the trump of fame. ' ' ' The second newspaper of the Western Reserve and the first of Cuyahoga county, was the Cleveland Gazette Commercial Regiiler, issued July 31st, 1818, by A. Logan. The motto wbb quotation from Paine " H'Acre Liberty dwells, therc'i my Country." . I have seen No. 29. Vol. I. dated March 2.1 1819 "Prico 3, payable at the end of the year 2, payable halfycarly in advance. The West- ern papers quoted were The Gentut of the Lake: the Cincinnati Gazette, Steubenvllle Gazette, and Vincennet Sun. The original articles are on Antiquities Profanity and France. It contains 9 advertisements. It was announced as a weekly paper, but on account of difficulty in procuring paper, the proprietor was obliged often to "skip over" his regular publication day. . . , r Tho pioneer, journal of the North-west was the SANPusKYljLAnioN, established in 1810, by David Cajrrpoell, now the Saxdcsky Register. The first paper in Stark county was the Re pository, at 1 anion, by J. A. Baxton in 1816 the first in Gallia county, in 1810, the Amkri. can Stanparp, by A. M. Ciimmincs in Picka way the Olive Branch, the progenitor of the Circlevillb Hebalo, by James Foster, in 1817 in iiiciiinnti, me ulive, at Manstoold, in 1818, by J. C. Gilkison. . . , In 1819, Cleveland, then a town of 500 inliab. itatits, was presented with the initlnl number of the Hkralp, by Zira Wtlles and Enoch Howe. iliree hundred copies were printed. .. In 1820 there were ten newspapers in Cincinnn. ti, four of which wcreiiublished semi-wccklv and weekly five weekly only: and one daily one of the weeklies The Ohio Chronicle, started in that year, was the first paper printed in the uerman language in the Aliaini valley. The Daily paper was called The Commercial Register S. 8. Brooks publisher; Morgan Neville Editor. The Publishor was a man of energy and the Editor bad talent, but the oitizens of Cincinnati were unused to dully news nnd advertisements; and after six months of hard life the pioneer "daily" of the Great West, failed to appear. It was a half sheet royal, at $6 a yoar. Cincinnati had then 19,000 inhabitants. A few of its prominent merchants wero anxious f )T a daily paper. Several of them waited upen the proprietors of the Gazette and urged tlie enterprise upon theirattention. Tbeaasuranoes given tho Gazette Publishers wore such that they issued a prospectus, nnd prepared to canvass the city. 'After diligent talking and coaxing 104 subscribers for a Daily Gazette were obtained, and on the 25th day of June, 1827, the first number was printed, on a sheet 19 Inches by 27 prico $8 per annu,m. . Charles Hammond wag the Editor. '- As a matter of necessity hiB rival Moses Dawson was opposed to a Daily Gasettb, and, respecting the first number, in his paper, The Advertiser, said: "To the advertising part of the community, suoh a pnper is rathor burdensome than otherwise, and is not useful but merely as respects the town. A daily paper cannot find its way to the country.. The people there will not pay from $4 to $8 a year postage for a daily nows-paper, nor would thy have either the time or inclination lo read it, if they had it for the price of a weekly paper. This may be an attempt at resuscitating a fallen concern, but like those which have gone before it, failure will bo the eonseqttenoe." The wisdom or foresight of Mr. Dawson's views, I need not comment upon, but It is fair to notice that they were not singular. Tho Cincinnati Republican, was thou edited by Elijah Hay ward, and in his notice of the Daily Gazette were ihene words: "Experience has proved that the advertising patronage of this city, divided as it is among so many weekly and semi-weekly papers, is not sufficient to support a daily, and time will show in what way one oan be sustained that is intended to be a mere politica engine vf the high pressure." Narrow as these viowi appear in 1858, they were not without force in 1827. In 1828 the Daily Gazette bad only 200 subscribers and in 1830 it had not more than 800. The expense of its publication was then about $40 a week. ' Between the years 1825 and 1830 printing presses, with iron bed ami platen, first found their way out-west ; and about 1827 composition rollers were adopted in Ohio, , From 1830 to 1835 there was remarkable development of the matorinl resources of Ohio, and astonishing intellectual progress. Our State had about one million inhabitants in 1835 and 120 newspapers, in 65 towns 1 Of those papers 82 are still published under the names by which they were then known: The Scioto Gazette. Western Star. Steubenvilte Herald. Ohio rntrijt. Canton Repository. Newark Advocate. Circleville Herald. Cincinnati Gazette, ., Lancaster Gazette. " Eaglo. Zanesvllle Gazette. : Cleveland Herald. " .

Cadiz Sentinel 82. I would be the cause of serious impatience were I to undertake to trace the rise, decline and fall, or continuation, of newspapers for the several counties or cities of Ohio, between 1830 and 1840, but I mny appropriately dwell upon a few faots of general interest. The first power-press brought into Ohio was purchased for the Daily Gazette of Cincinna ti in 1834. That journal had not then more than 400 subscribers, but job work had become profitable, and the hand presses were so much occupied, that the issue of the woekly, semi-1 weekly or dully Gazette was often dolaved. When Stephen 8. L'Hommcdieu, the youngest member of the Gazette firm, proposed a power-press to bis partners, Ephriam Morgan and James Lodge the proposition was decidedly opposed. Mr. Lodge said: "Young man you will ruin the establishment bv vour misdirected enterprise." But the young man was not easily discouraged, and ho persevered until ho prevailod upon the cautious men of the firm, to send Brownlow Fisher to Boston, to buy an Adams' Press, and learn how it ought to be run. Mr. Fisher boueht a press for S750. When it was ('set up" in the Gazette office it was as much of a curiosity, as ten cylinder nresa would now be in Ohio.1, It elicited saucy remarks from several of tho Gazette'scotetu-poraries--one or two of them insinuating that their neighbor's "airs" were not at all becoming. The venerable Adams' Press, distinguished as a pioneer of tho West, is now in sroml working order in the offico of the Daytos Journal. The first cylindor press employed in the West was purchased for the Methodist Book Concern at Cincinnati, in 1835. 1 , In 1835 tho first commercial paper of the Northwest wag started by the proprietors of the Cincinnati Gazette. It was called The Price Current and John H. Wood was its editor. . , In 1835, Cincinnati, according to the news record of its journals, was seven days distant from Pittsburgh, twenty-one days from New Orleans and fourteen from New York. There had been active rivalry for several years between the Cincinnati papers on the earliest issue of the President's Messaee. In 1835 the pro prietors of the Gazette employed the first ncwsS banal F.vtlrne. arn, i,n tn . I, l' ..... FT! V f r t 1" v.w, u.i in mo cai. iiiuy uu-x tainoa me message in OO hours, from Washington, at an expense of 200. - - The first papetvtn ienocoV. County was The Patriot, started at Tiffin, by J. H. Brown, in 1832. The Press upon which it was struck has a history. , I learn from J. B. McArdlo, a venerable printer, that it was the second press ever brought west of the Allcghanies. It was a Ramage, obtained in England, and "set up" at Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1794. In 1807 it was taken to Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and in 1809, was used to print a paper in Wellsburg, Virginia. In 1814, Mr. McArdle, who had been an apprentice in the offico where it was first employed, became its owner, and printed upon it the first paper ever issued in Knox County, Ohio.. In 1820, having the same press in his possession, Mr, McArdle starttd the Norwalk Reporter. In 1832, having meantime been used for several months in Sandusky, tho ancient press wns worked in the first printing ollice of Seneca County. Afterwards it did pioneer service at Findlay, in Hancock County, and at Perrysburg and Bryan, in Wood County. Eighteen years ago, Ohio had 123 Newspapers, . . '' 107..,...:.....;..- Published Weekly, ' ' .' fcaty, .' ' 7 , Semi-Wockiy, Six of those issued Daily were published in Cincinnati, one in Cloveland, the Herald, starttd in 1885, by S. Andrews, and two in Columbus the State Journal and Omo Statesman. It was the custom then in the offices of Daily papers, to lock up the "forms" about 7 o'clock in the evening, and allow Editors and Printers to repair to their several places of amusement or abode. But the Ohio Press had be-J gun to assume features or enterprise, and interest which now distinguish American Daily journals. Commercial columns, correspondence from head quarters for news, and "local items" were then attractive to readers. John B. Russell, now foreman of the job department of the Cincinnati Gazette establishment, was the firtt local editor of the Great West, He opened a oolumn for local items in the Cincinnati Chronicle in 1840. This enterprise was no doubt suggested by the inlorcst manifested by many persons in penny papers, started in Cincinnati between 1835 and 1840, which discussed and' recorded local matters more fully than had been the custom. .1 . From 1835 lo 1850 a remarkable fatality at tended newspaper vontures in Cincinnati. That was the era of cheap dailies. Men of talent, enterprise and experience wore doomed to saddest disappointment. Out of not Iobs than 85 attempts 10 establish penny papers within that period, of 15 years, only two succeeded. The Cincinnati Iimes and The Commercial are the examples of success, and they are not st Hotly ponny papers, but they were established and are now published npon the original plan for penny papers mat 01 carriers to whom the city circulation of a paper is farmed out who solicit their own subscribers and own their routes.

Remembering what Ohio was then considering what it is now bearing in mind the unparalleled revolutions which fifty-eight years have witnessed reflecting that all the chief features of journalism, and all the important facilities for printing and circulating newspapers belong to the period comprised within the life of Ohio's eldext journal the mind is stimulated to great thoughts and high hopes for the future. 7 he thoughtful observer is not without weighty fears, however, and the hopeful and the fearful may ask each other , When the 20th century shall have come, what will be said for the Press of the last half of the Nineteenth? Shall it be distinguished only for mechanical improvement, or shall it challenge admiration for intellectual excellence, and moral power? '' These are pregnant questions fit for the consideration of editors in convention assembled, but not appropriate for elaborate discussion in a historical discourse. I suggest them because they spring naturally out of the train of thought to which I hare invited attention. . ' STATE ITEMS Newspaper change. -i ...' Mr. S. T.
