(RETURN TO THE TITLE PAGE) FIRST LIGHT ARTILLERY, ETC. - 175 on Tullahoma and fought gallantly at Chickamauga, where by the utmost exertion it saved its guns amid the general disaster, though with a loss of seventeen men killed and wounded. It entered Chattanooga with the army and aided in the subsequent defense of that town. While marching through East Tennessee in December, 1863, and January, 1864, it fought frequently with the enemysis cavalry, and invariably drove them back. On the 30th of January it re enlisted, and soon returned to Ohio on veteran furlough. It subsequently joined the second division of the Fourth army corps, and took part in the entire Atlanta campaign. Returning to Tennessee with the Fourth corps, it was warmly engaged with the rebels, under Hood, at Pulaski and Columbia. It passed on without further active service to Nashville; arriving just after the battle before that city. Later it was sent to New Orleans, but after a short stay was brought home and mustered out on the 31st of July, 1865. BATTERY B. This battery was mustered into the service on the 8th of October, 1861, with one hundred and forty- seven men, of whom ninety-nine were from Cuyahoga county. It reported to Gen. Thomas in Kentucky, and saw its first field service at Wildcat Camp, where it silenced a rebel gun. On the 5th of November it joined the Seventeenth Ohio Infantry at Fishing Creek, and during the ensuing month was busily engaged in skirmishing and scouting. Moving on the 17th of January, 1862, 'to join Gen. Thomas at Mill Springs, it was in the thickest of the fight at that place, after which it proceeded to Nashville, where on the 4th of March it went into camp. On the 29th it joined Buell's army, and, until- the 10th of July, was employed in looking after the rebel cavalry then infesting Middle Tennessee. During July, August and September it was almost constantly on the march in Eastern and Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. It occupied a place on the right wing of Buell's army at the battle of Perrysville, but took no part in the action. The battery encountered no stirring adventure until its participation in the battle of Stone river, in which it fought with great gallantry; losing seventeen men killed, wounded and missing. Its next important service was at the battle of Chickamauga. On the second day of that combat it was charged by a large body of the enemy, but at first drove them back with heavy loss. Another charge was made, and, as the infantry support had given way, the battery was obliged to retreat with the loss of two of its guns. It shared the hardships of the siege of Chattanooga; remaining near there until after the battle of Mission Ridge. It then returned to Nashville, and, on the 4th of January, 1864, sixty-live of the original members of the command re-enlisted as veterans. After they had enjoyed their thirty days furlough, the battery reported to Gen. Thomas at Bridgeport, Ala.; remaining stationed at that point until July, 1866. It was then sent to Columbus, Ohio, and mustered out; being one of the last organizations to retire from the service. BATTERY C. This organization was mustered into the service on the 9th of September, 1861, and on the 1st of October left Camp Dennison and reported to Gen. Thomas in Kentucky. Directly thereafter it joined an expedition intended to relieve East Tennessee, and achieved signal honors at the important victory of Mill Springs. It joined Buell's army at Nashville, but did not reach Pittsburg Landing in time to take part in the battle. In the advance upon Corinth Battery C was busily engaged, and was afterwards active in the pursuit of the rebel army, formed a part of the rear-guard of Buell's army on the march to Kentucky, and at Louisville was assigned to the Fourteenth army corps. At Perryville Battery C was held in reserve near Buell's headquarters. In October, 1862, the battery was transferred to the Fourteenth army corps. It was with Carlin's brigade in a long march to intercept John Morgan, and was engaged with that celebrated, rebel in a sharp conflict at Rolling Fork, Ky. It fought stubbornly in the battle of Chickamauga, under the dauntless Thomas, having thirteen men and thirty horses killed and wounded, and one gun dismounted, and being warmly complimented by the distinguished general just mentioned. Mission Ridge saw the battery again in action. After the achievement of that great victory it re-enlisted and was sent to Ohio on veteran furlough. Returning to Chattanooga in March, 1864, it left there in May to share in the Atlanta campaign. It bore a heroic part in the battles of Resaca, Cassville, New Hope Church, Peachtree Creek and the seige of Atlanta; losing twenty men in killed and wounded during the campaign. The battery accompanied Sherman on his Savannah campaign and also on the march through the Carolinas; during whioh it was in action at Averyville and Bentonville. Thenceforth it saw no more active service, and, after appearing in the grand review at Washington, it was mustered out at Cleveland on the 15th of June, 1865. BATTERY D. Battery D was mustered into the service in September, 1861, with one hundred and fifty men, of whom sixty-nine were from Cuyahoga county. On the 1st of November it left Camp Dennison and reported to General Nelson in Kentucky, and was engaged shortly afterwards in a sharp skirmish at Joy mountain, Ky. After marching through Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky without being in action, it fought at Mumfordsville in September, 1862, when all its men and guns were captured. The men were paroled and returned to Camp Chase, and, upon be-• ing exchanged in January, 1863, proceeded as a reorganized and well equipped battery to Kentucky. It 176 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. was represented by an important detachment in a successful raid through East Tennessee; participated, in July, 1863, in the capture of Cumberland Gap, and took an active and gallant part in the celebrated defense of Knoxville. After this the battery re-enlisted. It marched with Sherman upon Atlanta ; did excellent service at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, and was eventually mustered out at Cleveland on the 15th of July, 1865. BATTERY F. This organization was mustered in August 23, 1861, and in December joined the old Third division in Kentucky. Subsequently it followed General O. M. Mitchell through Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, and was in General Sill's division during the pursuit of Bragg. On the 16th of November, 1862, it fought a brisk artillery duel with the First Louisiana Battery at Lavergne, Tennessee, in which it was completely victorious, and on the 27th of December assisted in driving the rebels beyond Triune. It distinguished itself at Stone River; silencing a Texas battery and repulsing repeated charges of infantry and cavalry on the 30th of December. The next day, however, it was completely overwhelmed, and all its guns and twenty-five of its men were captured, besides twenty-three men killed and wounded. Being refurnished with guns, it took part in the battles of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and Nashville; being especially distinguished for its gallantry in the great victory last mentioned. It was mustered out on the 10th of July, 1865. BATTERY G. Battery G was emphatically a Cuyahoga-county institution, having, including recruits, no less than a hundred and sixty-four men from that county in its ranks. It was mustered in at Camp Dennison in December, 1861. On the 10th of February, 1862, it marched to Jeffersonville, Indiana, and on the 11th of March was ordered to join the Fifth division. On the 7th of April it entered the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and was engaged the entire day; being the only volunteer battery of Buell's army in that action. It also served with Crittenden's division throughout the siege of Corinth. After many long marches through Alabama and Tennessee, during the summer and autumn of 1862, it took part in the battle of Stone River at the end of the year, but was not in the hottest part of the fight. It was actively employed in skirmishryng at Murfreesboro and on the march to Tullahoma, covered the rear in the retirement from Dug Gap, and was almost continuously under tire from the battle of Chickamauga until after the fight at Mission Ridge. On the 2d of December, 1863, it set out for Nashville, where seventy-six out of ninety-six men re-enlisted; being mustered as a veteran battery on the 4th of January, 1861. After being stationed at Nashville during the spring and summer of 1864, it was engaged in several sharp fights in August, while pursuing Wheeler's cavalry, which was driven across the Tennessee river. The battery also checked Hood's advance into Franklin on the 30th of November; losing on that occasion twenty-three men in killed and wounded. From December 2d to December 14th it was daily engaged with the enemy at Nashville; taking an active part on the latter day in the general engagement between Generals Thomas and Hood. It also fought at Rutherford creek during Hood's retreat. During the winter it was stationed at Huntsville, Alabama. In March, 1865, it moved with the Fourth corps into Tennessee and North Carolina; returning to Nashville in April. In June it accompanied the same corps to New Orleans; returning in August, 1865, to Ohio, and being mustered out at Camp Chase on the 1st of September, 1865. BATTERY K. Battery K left Camp Dennison in February, 1862, joined Gen. Schenck in Maryland and moved with him into Virginia; fighting its first battle at McDowell and its second at Port Republic. It afterwards moved through the Shenandoah valley with Fremont, and fought under Pope at Cedar Mountain and in other less important conflicts. It took part in a sharp engagement at Lairy's Ford; having sixteen men killed and wounded, and thirty horses killed. It was also engaged under Pope in the second battle of Bull Run. The next year Battery K won much honor at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg; losing on the latter field thirty-two men in killed and wounded. In October following, the battery accompanied the Twentieth corps under Gen. Hooker to Chattanooga, and was engaged. in the night fight in Wauhatchie valley, near that place. It closed its fighting career at Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge. It was afterwards stationed in Northern Alabama until July, 1865, when it was sent north, and on the 17th of that month was mustered out at Camp Dennison. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY.

BESIDES the regiments of light and heavy artillery, there were twenty-six independent batteries of light artillery raised in Ohio during the war; each having a hundred and fifty officers and men, including a captain, two first lieutenants and two second lieutenants. Six of these contained delegations from Cuyahoga county, and of these we give a slight account in the succeeding pages. SIXTH BATTERY. This originally formed a part of a brigade recruited under the supervision, and largely through the exertions, of Senator (now Secretary) Sherman, which was consequently known as John Sherman's brigade. It was organized near Mansfield in November, 1861, and contained during the war eighteen members from Cuyahoga county. It served in various parts of Kentucky during the following winter, and its presence on the Cumberland brought on the battle of Mill Springs. It reached Pittsburg Landing soon after the battle, and took part in the advance on Corinth. From the 29th of April to the end of its service it was always in the brigade or division of Gen. Wood. The battery participated in the pursuit of Bragg into Kentucky, and was present at Perryville though not engaged. At Stone River the Sixth silenced a rebel battery on the first day; the next, while detached from its regular position to check the overwhelming advance of the rebels against McCook's corps, it was temporarily outflanked and two guns were captured, which, however, were retaken .a quarter of an hour later. The third day it was a part of the massed artillery which inflicted a crushing defeat on the advancing foe. On the fourth day (January 2d) the Sixth withdrew at one time on account of a rear fire from another Union battery, but soon took part in the final conflict which decided the victory in favor of the National forces. The next autumn, at Chickamauga, the battery was warmly engaged; having eight officers and men killed and wounded. Having re-enlisted in December, the Sixth took part in the Atlanta campaign the next spring.; being engaged almost every day from Dalton to Atlanta. Returning with the Fourth corps, the battery was in the very hottest part of the battle of Franklin, and aided materially in gaining that decisive victory. It went through much arduous but not dangerous service after this, and was mustered, out in September, 1865. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. David Baughman, enl. Aug 31, 1864. Transf. to Vet. Res.

This command, originally intended to form a portion of the Forty-first Infantry, was organized October 11, 1861, for three years service, with three commissioned officers, eighty men and four guns, but afterwards became a full battery. Daring the war it had thirty-two members from Cuyahoga county. It left Cleveland for Kentucky on the 7th of December, and, after remaining in camp upwards of a month, participated in the battle of Mill Springs; receiving from Gen. Thomas, on account of its gallant services on that occasion, two bronze guns captured from the enemy. Subsequently the Ninth fought at Cumberland Gap, where it was under a seven hours continuous fire, and shared in the numerous movements which resulted in the capture of that stronghold in June, 1862, as well as in the hardships of the retreat which was subsequently found to be necessary. After being increased to a six gun battery with served with the army of the Cumberland until the next spring; was smartly engaged with the enemy at Franklin and Triune, Tenn., and during June and July, 1863, had several skirmishes near Triune and Murfreesboro. Exciting but not important experiences attended the battery until February 22, 1864, when forty men of the original organization re-enlisted as veterans and returned to Cleveland. On the 0th of April, 1864, it appeared for duty at Tullahoma, Tenn., whence in May it departed with Sherman in the Atlanta campaign, and took an active part in the many battles of that arduous but glorious struggle. It also attended him in his "March to the Sea," performing good service whenever called upon, and was eventually mustered out at Cleveland OD the 25th of July, 1865. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY.

Recruited in the counties of Trumbull, Ashtabula, Cuyahoga and Lorain, the Fifteenth battery was mustered in for three years, February 1, 1862, reported to General Grant at Pittsburg Landing. April 2d, and as a part of the Fourth division participated in the siege of Corinth. It did some brilliant work in a skirmish near Grand Junction, Tenn., in September, 1862; fought in the battle of Metamora on the 5th of October; and w: s in the thick of the fight at Cold Water Creek, on the 19th of April, 1863. The battery went down the Mississippi with Gen. Grant; was on the front line during the siege of Vicksburg, and was engaged in July at Jackson, Mississippi. After operating on the Mississippi and lying ryn camp at Vicksburg, until February, 1864, it marched eastward with Sherman against the enemy at Meridian, Enterprise and Quitman, Mississippi, and then returned to Vicksburg, where thirty-six of its men re-enlisted. After recruiting, the battery joined Sherman in Northern Georgia, fought in the battles at Kenesaw mountain, was occupied in severe skirmishes and engagements on the Nicojack and Chattahoochie rivers, and was present at the capture of the Augusta railroad near Decatur, Ga. It did very important work in the bloody fight of July 22d, when Gen. McPherson was killed; and on the 28th of the same month it was the only battery engaged on the National side when Hood vainly hurled two corps against the forces commanded by Logan. The Fifteenth was also in Sherman's flank movement upon the rear of Atlanta, and was warmly engaged at the battles of Jonesborough and Lovejoy's Station. It went down to the sea with Sherman, took part in the siege of Savannah, marched through the Caroplinas, and was present at Gen. Johnston's surrender. After having fought in thirty battles and skirmishes, and traveled more than five thousand mile's, the Fifteenth was mustered out at Columbus on the 20th of Jane, 1865. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY.

NINETEENTH BATTERY.* It is something less than a skeleton—only a few disjointed bones—that we can pick out from the very interesting production mentioned in the foot-note, and place before our readers. The Nineteenth was raised at Cleveland by Capt. Joseph C. Shields, (being commonly called, Shields' Battery,) in July, August and September, 1862; and its members, according to the records, were, with two or three exceptions citizens of Cuyahoga county. They were almost all men of good standing, and the historian of the battery boldly claims that it was the best educated and most intelligent body of men that served during the war. After having a good time in camp until the 5th of October, the men, not yet provided with guns, set out for Kentucky, marching. through the city to the depot escorted by the militia organizations, and cheered by tens of thousands of admiring friends- for all were then the soldiers' friends. Having received their armament, they served through the winter, and the spring of 1863, at Lexington, Frankfort, Richmond and Danville, undisturbed by the enemy, and always managing to extract all the *assure possible from among the " lights and shadows of army life." About the 1st of June the battery was attached to the Twenty-third army corps, under Gen. Hartsutf, and moved southward. Ere long, however, it was ordered to return, and on the 12th of July it reached Cincinnati, then in a state of intense alarm on account *From T. E. Tracie's "Annals of the Nineteenth Ohio Battery." of the operations of the celebrated and ubiquitous John Morgan. The citizens collected by thousands, and every soldier was a hero who it was hoped would rescue the city from the dreaded gang of plunderers. At Hamilton, whither the battery immediately went, the generosity of the frightened citizens knew no bounds, and it was currently reported that one energetic artillerist accepted four invitations and ate four breakfasts before ten o'clock, a.m. The battery soon returned to Cincinnati, and moved eastward to guard the Ohio and prevent Morgan from escaping. On the 20th of July Lieut. Dustin, with two guns, went up the Muskingum on a steamer, accompanied by four hundred hastily-levied " squirrel hunters." Within two miles of McConnelsville, the county seat of Morgan county, a courier dashed up with information that Morgan was marching rapidly on that town. All were immediately landed, and the section galloped forward (followed by the " squirrel hunters "), into the little town, which was probably in a state of greater excitement than it has ever been at any other time, before or since; half the people running about the streets with valuables, uncertain what to do to save themselves from the great raider. Seven miles up the river the little command met Morgan's advance, and promptly opened fire. The rebels were so surprised that they immediately turned and fled, followed by a copious discharge of shot and shell from the two guns. Thus it happened that the first shot fired at the enemy from any of the guns of the Nineteenth Battery were discharged in the State of Ohio; a result quite unlooked for by those who had set out for southern battlefields near ten months before. On the section returning to McConnellsville, all previous expressions of enthusiasm were completely thrown in the shade by the gratitude of the rescued citizens. The little skirmish had quite important consequences, as it deranged Morgan's plans and delayed his escape so long that he was soon captured. After returning to Kentucky the Nineteenth moved with Gen. Burnside to Knoxville, in East Tennessee, thence turning northward and aiding in the capture of the great stronghold of Cumberland Gap. Returning to Knoxville, the battery engaged in its first serious contlict with the enemy during the siege of . that place by Longstreet, in November. All the guns were actively engaged, and one section was in Fort Saunders, the central point of the Union lines, when it was attacked by the rebels on the morning' of the 29th of November, and the grape and canister of the Nineteenth aided in inflicting one of the most crushing defeats of the war; nearly two thousand rebels being killed and wounded in forty minutes, while the killed and wounded of the Union side only numbered thirty. Soon after, Longstreet abandoned the siege. After arduous service in East Tennessee during the winter and early spring, the battery moved, in May, 1864, on the Atlanta campaign. It was engaged at Resaca, Cassville, Pumpkin Vine,,Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, New Hope Church etc., and 184 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. was the first to open fire on the rebel fortifications at Atlanta. After the fall of that place it returned to Nashville, and took part in the great battle in front of that city, which finally crushed the hopes of the ambitious Hood. The next move was a long one, made in February, 1865, to North Carolina. There, however, there was little left to do, and after taking part in the closing movements of the war it returned to Cleveland in June, and on the 29th of that month was mustered out of the service.

This was another purely Cuyahoga-county institution; having originally a hundred and fifty-six men, under Capt. Louis Smithnight, but being filled up with recruits from time to time it had no less than a hundred and ninety-six men on its roll. It left Camp Taylor on the 31st of December, 1862, and on the 8th of February, 1863, joined Rosecrans at Murfreesboro, Tenn. After the resignation of Capt. Smithnight, much trouble was caused by the appointment of an outsider and all the other commissioned officers left the service; their places being filled by men from the ranks. After taking part in the advance of Rosecrans' army it was actively engaged at the battle of Chickamauga, having three men wounded and two taken prisoners. The battery was stationed at Chattanooga during the succeeding winter, and in May, 1863, it moved on the Atlanta campaign. It was constantly called on to perform the difficult task of repelling the cavalry of Forest and Wheeler in their numerous assaults on the flanks of Sherman's army, and also to maintain communications with the base of supplies in the rear. On the 15th of August, 1864, General Steadman with a division of infantry and the Twentieth battery attacked Wheeler's corps of cavalry, said to be six thousand strong, at Dalton, and after several hours fighting drove them from the place. Early in September a section of the battery which had remained at Dalton was surrendered, together with a regiment of colored troops, by the commander of the latter, at the demand of General Hood, who was on his way northward. The other two sections accompanied General Thomas, in the Fourth army corps, on his march to circumvent Hood. The reduced battery was gallantly engaged in the battle of Franklin, having fourteen officers and men killed and wounded. It was also engaged, though less severely) at the battle of Nashville. It was soon afterwards stationed at Chattanooga, where it remained until July; being mustered out at Cleveland on the 19th of that month. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. Louis Smithnight, enr. as Capt.

The Twenty-first battery was mustered into the service for three years at Camp Dennison, on the 9th of April, 1863, and in May was sent down the Ohio from Cincinnati to Louisville as guard over Vallandigham, then on his way into exile. When Morgan crossed the Ohio, four of the guns of the Twenty-first were used on the steamers patrolling the river to prevent his escape. In September the battery proceeded to Tennessee, in which State it did considerable service, especially in a fight at Walker's Ford, on the 2d of December, 1863, where it was remarkably effective. Its field of operations until the close of the war was confined to Tennessee and Alabama, where its chief employment was the guarding of important fords and railway lines. When the long struggle was ended the battery returned to Cleveland, and on the 21st of July, 1865, it was mustered out of the service. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. William H. H.

TWENTY-FIFTH BATTERY. This originated in a detail made by Gen. Blunt in August, 1862, from the Second Ohio Cavalry, for temporary artrllery service in Kansas and the Indian Territory, and called by him the Third Kansas Battery. It had a sharp fight with Texans and Indians at Newtonia, Mo., on the 30th of September, and another on the 4th of October, in which the enemy was completely defeated. In November and December following, it took an active part in the battles of Kane Hill, Prairie Grove and Van Buren. In returning to Missouri it crossed White river by means of shooting an empty case-shot across the roaring stream, with a lino attached, by which an improvised ferryboat could be worked over. In January, 1863, the detail was transmuted, by an order from the war department, into the Twenty-fifth Ohio battery. During the spring and forepart of the summer it served in Missouri; moving into Arkansas in July, and having several severe conflicts in August and September before arriving at Little Rock. In January, 1864, one hundred and twelve men out of a hundred and twenty-nine re-enlisted. After their veteran furlough they returned to duty in Arkansas, where they remained until the autumn of 1865. The battery was discharged at Columbus on the 12th of December, in that year.

FIFTH UNITED STATES COLORED INFANTRY. Although this regiment was raised under the direct authority of the United States, yet it was entirely recruited in Ohio; and as it had a representation of fifteen members from Cuyahoga, it should receive mention in our work, though, from its being the. only United States regiment noticed, it is somewhat difficult to locate it. It was begun in the summer of 1863 as the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry. Recruiting was slow, however, till the new organization received the sanction of the national authorities, and was transformed into the Fifth United States Colored Infantry. In November, 1863, it went to Virginia with nine companies; the tenth joining during the winter. The next month it was engaged in an important raid into North Carolina, and behaved well in its first fight. After being encamped at Yorktown until May, 1864, it went up the James river with Gen. Butler. On the 15th of June the Fifth, with the colored division, stormed the hights before Petersburg; eliciting the applause of Gen. W. F. ("Baldy") Smith, an old 188 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. regular officer, certainly not prejudiced in their favor. On the 29th of September the Fifth, with two other colored regiments, stormed and carried the rebel works on New Market Hights under extremely adverse circumstances. During the day's fighting the regiment suffered the terrific loss of three hundred and forty-two killed and wounded, out of five hundred and fifty-nine. It subsequently took part in the captUre of Fort Fisher and Fort Anderson, North Carolina, and remained in service in that State until September, 1865; being discharged at Columbus on the 5th of October following.

ALTHOUGH the newspapers and other periodicals of the county have nearly all been published at Cleveland, yet they have circulated in every section of the county and i'ar outside of its limits; and, in fact, in the early days had a much larger circulation outside than inside the limits of the corporation. Moreover, journalism is an institution of such a general nature, and deals so largely with the wider interests of mankind, that it seems much the most proper to make the story of its progress a part of the general history of the county. It is extremely difficult to give a detailed account of the press of Cuyahoga county; for, however great may have been the tendency in other growing cities to set on foot journalistic enterprises which were unable to survive the storms of this rude world, we are convinced that Cleveland decidedly exceeds all its rivals of similar size in this respect. In its historic field the newspaper graveyard fills no inconsiderable space. Unfortunately, moreover, in most cases there were not enough assets left to raise a tombstone telling the dates of the birth and death of the dear departed. Too often, indeed, the mourners neglected to perform even the rite of sepulture, leaving the sheriff to place the wasted body in the grave which they themselves never desired to look upon, and which not the most desperate resurrectionists ever sought to violate. Their names alone remain as a tradition in the memories of surviving contemporaries, and sometimes even the name has faded away, leaving but a vague recollection of some journalistic firefly whose light has forever expired. On the other hand, in few, if any, places of like size have labor, capital and enterprise built up papers of more commanding influence, or longer continued prosperity. Some of these date back from three to six decades ; others are of a later era but have already established themselves upon firm ground. Of all these surviving members of the journalistic family it is comparatively easy to obtain separate accounts ; but the defunct papers are so numerous and many of them were so short-lived that it is hardly practicable to furnish separate sketches of them. We have therefore concluded to give a brief general history of journalism in this county, showing its progress, and alluding at more or less length to those papers which have passed away, so far as they are known ; following this by separate sketches of all the papers now in existence. As before stated the first paper published in the county was the Cleveland Gazette and Commercial Register, which made its first appearance on the 31st THE PRESS - 189 day of July, 1818. It was issued weekly—when circumstances permitted. When circumstances were unkind, intervals of from ten days to two weeks intervened between the issues, and even this precarious existence ceased the same year or early in the next. In October, 1819, the first number of the Cleveland Herald was issued; a paper which has maintained a continued existence till the present time, and which is now not only the oldest paper in the county, but one of the oldest in the State—in fact there are but few in the whole country which antedate it. A sketch of its career is given farther on. The Herald occupied the journalistic field without a rival for no less than thirteen years; at least, after careful inquiry, we are unable to learn of any other newspaper in the county until 1832. At that time the Herald began to veer toward Democracy, or Jacksonianism as it was more commonly called in those days, and a number of the leading Whigs of Cleveland went to work to establish a more thorough exponent of their party doctrines. They persuaded the late Madison Kelley to undertake the task, and in 1832 that gentleman established the Advertiser as an organ of the Whig party. Hon. John W. Allen wrote the salutatory editorial in the first number. Yet in the mutations of politics the Advertiser was afterwards transmuted into that decisively Democratic paper, the Plain Dealer, while the Herald became a thorough champion of Whiggery. On the 20th day of August, 1834, the Cleveland Whig was established by Rice & Penniman. It existed, as near as we can learn, about two years. It was followed in May 1836, by the Cleveland Messenger, the founders of which were Messrs. Beck & Tuttle. It became defunct in less than a year. The same month saw the establishment of the Ohio City Argus on the west side, by T. H. Smead and Lyman W. Hall. It was Whiggish in its tendencies, though not extremely partisan. Its first number was issued on the 20th of May, 1836. In the same year Mr. Hall withdrew, and Mr. Smead (still a compositor in Cleveland) acted for a time as both publisher and editor. In the forepart of 1838 the name was changed to the Ohio City Transcript, and the aid of Mr. Hill was obtained, who acted as editor until the suspension of the paper in 1839. In the summer of 1836, also, the Cleveland. Daily Gazette' was founded by Charles Whittlesey, Esq., now the well-known Colonel Whittlesey. This paper had but a brief separate existence, but it did not die ; it was married. In March, 1837, it was united to the Herald; the consolidated paper being issued for several years as the Daily Herald and Gazette. Another venture of 1836 was the Cleveland Liberalist, the first number of which was issued on the 10th day of September, in that year, by Dr. Samuel Underhill, editor and proprietor. It was a small weekly, and advocated what its editor called free thought, but which most people designated as infidelity. There seems to have been a considerable skeptical element in Cleveland at an early day, for a place of its size, but there was not enough to support a weekly organ, for the Liberalist expired during the following year. On the other hand there was a religious organ (Presbyterian) established at Cleveland as early as 1836. It was called the Cleveland Journal, and in 1837 was published by John M. Sterling, Samuel C. Aikin and A. Penfield. Its editor was Rev. "0. P. Hoyt. A little later it was united with the Ohio Observer, then located at Hudson. The consolidated paper was published at Cleveland, under the name of the Cleveland Observer. In 1840 it was moved back to Hudson, where it resumed the name of Ohio Observer. The Daily Commercial Intelligencer was born in 1838; its sponsor being Benjamin Andrews. The only record opposite its infant name is " Died out." During the celebrated Harrison campaign of 1840, a small campaign paper of five columns called The Axe, was published from the 23d of April until after election. It was of course devoted to the cause of Harrison, who was supported by an immense majority of the voters of the Western Reserve. The top of its first page was adorned with a log cabin covered with a "shake" roof, supposed to represent the dwelling of the popular old Indian-fighter. We believe the shortest-lived of all the many short- lived Cleveland newspapers was one of which even the name is in doubt. A person who is described as a "Quaker Whig," projected a journal in 1840, to be called either the Christian Statesman or the Christian Whig, it is not certain which. A solitary number appeared under one of those names, and that was both the beginning and the end of what was evidently intended to be the regenerator of Cuyahoga politics. Almost as brief was the career of the Cleveland Agitator, a weekly anti-slavery sheet which came into existence in 1840, and went out of existence the same year. The year 1841 was a remarkably good time for giving birth to newspapers, and a remarkably poor one for keeping them alive. No less than three passed from the cradle to the grave during that single twelvemonth, besides two others, the time and term of whose existence is not exactly known. The Daily Morning News was a neutral sheet established in 1841 by George Mortimer Shippen. "Died the same year." The Palladium of Liberty was an anti-slavery weekly edited by the Rev. Mr. Butts. A brief trial demonstrated that sufficient support could not be obtained, and liberty was left without its palladium. "Died the same year." The very peculiar title of The Eagle- Eyed News-Catcher was given by David L. Wood to another venture (daily) of 1841, but though it might catch the news, it couldn't catch the money; and the Eagle-Eyed soon closed its piercing orbs in everlasting sleep. "Died the same year." The Daily Morning Mercury, owned and edited by Calvin Hall, was probably established in 1841, and 190 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. certainly departed this life in that eventful year. The Mothers' and Young Ladies' Guide, edited by Mrs. M. M. Herrick, was a monthly publication which had a brief existence about the same period. Passing to the year 1842, we find the Cleveland Gatherer (weekly) coming into existence under the management of E. B. Fisher, and maintaining itself until 1844, when it was gathered to its predecessors; being rather a long-lived journal for that period. The first effort to have a newspaper in Cuyahoga county, outside of Cleveland, was at the enterprising village of Chagrin Falls. In 1842, when the village was but eight years old, C. T. Blakeslee and John Brainard (the latter afterwards a professor of chemistry in Cleveland, and examiner of patents at Washington), undertook to establish a newspaper. They bought a hundred dollars worth of type on credit, and made with their own hands every thing else necessary for their purpose, including the press. The latter was not, perhaps, very beautiful, but it was used for years to print a newspaper. The proprietors called their production the Farmers' and Mechanics' Journal; the first number being issued in August of the year above named. Immediately afterwards Mr. Bltikeslee sold out to Hiram E. Calkins, who, in about eight mouths, disposed of his interest to M. S. Barnes. In the summer of 1844 Brainard and Barnes sold to H. G. Whipple, who undertook to make a Democratic campaign paper of the Journal. His foreman (the late proprietor, Barnes), however, in Whipple's absence, substituted a Whig ticket and editorial. Barnes, of course, was dismissed. He then bought a press and established a Whig campaign paper. The rival journals both died after election. To conclude the story of early journalism at Chagrin Falls, the next year M. P. Doolittle and H. E. Calkins started a paper named the Spirit of Freedom, which expired the same autumn. Afterwards a publication called Labour was carried on by the " Labouring Men's Association." The undertaking, however, proved more laborious than profitable, and was given up; Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Sanford becoming the o wars of the press. In January, 1850, Mrs. Sanford began the publication of a monthly, especially intended for women, called True Kindred. At the end of five months this was changed to the Independent Politician (weekly) edited by Mr. Sanford. Ere long this, too, was discontinued, and thenceforth there were no more journalistic efforts at Chagrin Falls until the founding of the Chagrin Exponent, as narrated farther on. To return to Cleveland-in 1843 the Second Adventist was established by some of the believers in Father Miller, who was prophesying the end of the world in April, 1844, and who had quite a considerable following in Cleveland. The publisher was T. H. Smead. This could not, in the nature of things, have been expected to be a permanent accession to journalism. Its only inspiration was the near approach of death, and when the world failed to ignite at the appointed time, the newspaper had nothing left to live for. The Ohio American was established in 1844; being the earliest of the journals which, after various changes and consoldiations, became the present Leader. At that time, also, a paper called the Deelaration of Independence began its career—with T. H. Smead as publisher and Quintus F. Atkins as editor. It was strongly anti-slavery, and supported Birney, the abolition candidate for the presidency. It suspended after the close of the campaign. In 1845 the Cleveland Weekly Times was established by Peter Baxter, with Horace Steele as editor. It was merged in the Plain Dealer in 1848. The Ohio Univeralist and Literary Companion (weekly), a small craft with a top-heavy title, was also launched on the journalistic stream in 1845, under the guidance of C. W. Hudson, publisher, and George H. Emerson, editor; only to be stranded about 1847. The True Democrat was established at Olmstead Falls in 184'7. (See sketch of the Leader.) For two or three years after 1845 there seems to have been an abatement of the mania for starting newspapers, but in 1848 it broke out again, as dangerous as ever. One of the new issues of that year was only intended for temporary use, and doubtless fulfilled its purposes. This was the Reserve Battery, a Taylor campaign (weekly), published by J. A. Harris from the 20th of July until after election. The vignette represented Gen. Taylor directing the firing of a battery of artillery at a group of enemies, among whom Gen. Cass is the most prominent who throws up his hands and protests against the "noise and confusion" which prevails. The Spirit of Freedom was founded in that year by certain gentlemen who are vaguely designated as " Law Reformers," but it had not enough flesh and blood enough for this practical world, and it fled to brighter climes after a very brief sojourn. The Northern Ohio Medical Examiner (monthly), born the same year; represented another leading profession, but it, .too, soon passed away. The Temple of Honor was the organ of the order of Sons of Temperance, and though we cannot ascertain the exact dates, yet it was probably founded about 1850, and died after a year or two of high- minded but poorly fed existence. The Spirit of the Lakes was a journal of the same period published by the Western Seaman's Friend Society (Rev. R. H. Leonard, editor), for the benefit of the sailors on the lakes, which performed its beneficent labor nearly six years. In its latter days it was known as the Spirit of the Lakes and Boatmen's Reporter; having absorbed another journal started with the same object. Perhaps the weight of the title sunk it. Another new journal of 1850 was the Family Visitor (weekly), the first number of which was issued on the 3d of January in that year, under the supervision of J. P. Kirtland, S. St. John and O. H. THE PRESS - 191 Knapp. As its name implied, it was intended especially for the home circle, and was really a very desirable paper. Every number contained illustrated articles on natural history, usually contributed by Professor Kirtland or Charles Whittlesey, Esq. On the 9th of May in the same year, it appeared with the heading " published at Cleveland and Hudson." The publication of this useful journal was continued until 1858, when it went down under the stress of "hard times." The principal contribution of the year 1852 to the list of ephemeral publications was the Cleveland Commercial, a neutral weekly, founded by Hine and Culaton. It subsequently passed into the hands of H. M. Addison, advocating the cause of morality, education, temperance and equal rights for four years, and then ceased to exist—perhaps because those virtues had become so well established that a special champion was no longer necessary. Mr. Addison seems to have had a remarkable proclivity and facility for establishing newspapers, for the records show that in 1852 he founded two, both devoted to temperance. Probably, however, the first, the American Advcrtiser, merely changed its name, assuming the name of the Harpoon, under which ferocious title it struck terror into the whales of evil at a dollar a year for about four years, when it lost its hold and sank to rise no more. The School Boy was for a short period edited by the students of the high school and published by F. O. McGillicuddy; closing its career in 1855 or 1856. The Golden Rule, a religious, temperance, anti-slavery, anti-tobacco monthly, published by D. M. Ide and edited by D. F. Newton, flourished for three or four years and was moved to Mansfield about 1856. The Daily and Weekly Forest City set out on the career of journalism as an advocate of " Free Soil " principles in 1852, but was united with the True Democrat the next year, as stated in the sketch of the Leader. The Annals of Science was a semi-monthly sheet, published by Hamilton S. Smith, which had a brief existence sometime between 1852 and 1855. The American Magazine, a Homeopathic and Hydropathic monthly, has a similar history, but lasted somewhat longer, dying about 1856. The New American Magazine, of which B. K. Maltby was the editor, was a monthly devoted to the interests of education, and its period of existence corresponded quite closely with that of its Homoeo-hydropathic contemporary. The Cleveland Commercial Gazette, devoted entirely to market reports and other commercial matter, was founded by E. Cowles & Co., the proprietors of the Leader, in 1856, and was continued until 1868. The second German newspaper in Cleveland was the Germania, which was established in 1856, and had a prosperous career for nearly twenty years, but finally disappeared in 1875. The Spiritual Universe, which began its career in 1857, enjoyed a year or so of delicate existence, and then ,departed to the spirit world. The Daily Review, published by Spear, Dennison & Morrison, and edited by H. II. Johnson, was born in 1857 and lasted till the first years of the war. The Buckeye Democrat sprang into existence iii 1859, and dropped out of existence in 1860, though its place was taken by the National Democrat, which was established by C. B. Flood in 1860 and departed this life in 1860. A publication founded in 1859 which attained somewhat more of permanence, was the Wool Growers' Reporter, a monthly founded by Andrew Meader, and devoted as its name implies to tha wool raising interest. Afterwards its scope was widened to embrace the wool-manufacturing interest, its name being changed to the Wool Grower and Manufacturer. Under this title it endured till the close of the war. The year 1859 and the forepart of 1860 were especially distinguished by an outbreak of new publications. There were the Agitator, a temperance and anti-slavery publication, of which Mrs. H. F. M. Brown was editor and proprietor, and which hardly lasted through the last named year; the Analyst, of J. A. Spencer & Co., which barely survived the next one; Dodge's Literary Museum, issued by the celebrated Ossian E. Dodge, which lived about two years; and the Vanguard, a skeptical weekly which owned the triple editorship of William Denton, Alfred Cridge and Anna Denton Cridge, but which went to the rear after a very brief conflict with the dangers of Cleveland journalism. Of more solid character, but of scarcely more tenacity of life was the Western Law Monthly of Hayden, King and Elwell, which embraced the names of Hon. R. P. Ranney as supervising editor of the code department, and of J. J. Elwell and M. A. King as assistant editors. It closed its career in 1860. Most fragile of all was the Daily Dispatch, published by an association of printers, which saw but four brief moons of 1860 wax and wane ere the chilly hand of death was laid upon its infant brow. The Gleaner, a literary weekly which was set on foot in the beginning of 1861, closed its career within a year. In fact, the war, which broke out in 1861, though it increased the demand for news, and doubtless increased the prosperity of the well-established journals devoted principally to the news, seemed to have a very depressing effect on the ambition of adventures into the journalistic field, and so far, as we can learn, not a single new periodical (unless we except Brainard's Musical World) was established in Cleveland during the continuance of the rebellion. Not only that, but the old ones of the class of the Analyst, the Literary Museum, etc., dropped off until in 1863 there were only the Herald, Plain Dealer, Leader, Ohio Farmer, Waechter am Erie, Germania, Wool Grower and Manufacturer, and the German religious papers. After the war the business of newspaper founding began to revive; the first of the new set being the German Democrat, which appeared in 1865. This, how- 192 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. ever, found the field fully occupied, and retired in the course of a year. Ere long the newspaper nursery was again in full bloom. Besides a number of journals which have survived to the present time, and of which separate sketches are subsequently given, there were the Christian Standard, established by the Christian Publishing Association in 1866, with Rev. Isaac Errett as editor, which lasted but two years; the Ohio Cultivator (monthly), published at the office of the Ohio Farmer for a brief period beginning in 1860; the Temperance Era (weekly), of which J. A. Spencer was the editor, which appeared in 1870 and disappeared within a year; the Ohio Spiritualist (weekly), which was first put forth by the American Spiritualist Publishing Company in 1870, and which maintained itself for three years. Passing on to 1871, we find the Printing Gazette, (monthly,) coming to life in that year, and departing from life in the next. In 1872 the Prohibition Era of A. T. Proctor took the place of Mr. Spencer's Temperance Era, and lasted four years; the New Era of E. C. Parker & Co. was begun, but never became an old era; and the Real Estate Recorder of II. S. Herr also entered the field, to be crowded out within a twelve-month. It was succeeded by the Real Estate Journal of J. N. Bekaa, which survived until 1877. Of more tenacious papers established during that year, were the Pokrok of F. B. Zdrubek, the first Bohemian paper in the. city, which was pub lished until 1878; the Mechanics' and Blacksmiths' Journal of John Fehrenbatch, which also lasted until 1878, and the Coopers' Journal of M. A. Foran, which had a somewhat briefer existence. It will be borne in mind all the while that we are now giving only obituary notices of the deceased; the living newspapers will be found further on. Proceeding to the spring of 1873, one learns for the first time of the existence of Cleveland's Illustrated Bazaar, a gay occupant of the field which withered under the frost of the succeeding winter; of the House and Garden of G. E. Blakelee, which lived two years, part of the time under the management of M. J. Lawrence; of the Cleveland Hygiena, published by Dr. Libby for three years; of the Oberlin New Era, by the same proprietor, which could not live one year in this unoongenial atmosphere; of the Cleveland Pulpit, edited by E. B. Raffensperger, from which came the sound of good tidings for less than two years. By the light of another year (1874) we look upon the fleeting forms of the Cleveland Sontagsblatt (Sunday paper), edited by Julius Kurzer; of the Cross and Crown, edited by Lawrence W. Tatum, which survived but a twelvemonth; of the Columbia, edited by Joseph Killian, which survived until the close of the year last past; of the Celtic Index, edited by the Rev. Dr. Quinn; of the Linndale Enterprise, of Wm. W. Robinson, which was too enterprising to live more than a twelvemonth; of Our Youth which reached the end of its days ere three hundred and sixty-five of them were numbered, and of the Trio which attained but a little longer life-only seven new papers, all told. The fact that this was the climax of the hard times accounts for there not being a larger number. The Cuyahoga County Blade, published at Newburg by L. A. Woodward; the Household Treasure of Waite and Meyel; and the Irish National Magazine of W. J. Nicholson, were the contributions of 1875 to the list of Cleveland periodicals. The first suspended publication in a year, its place being taken by the Democratic Sunday Blade which expired a twelvemonth later; while the second and third were wrecked in 1876. " Come like shadows, so depart." Five more entered the lists in 1876 (possibly some of them in the latter part of '.75); the Indicator, published by S. W. Crowell & Co.; the Little Ones at Home, by M. A. Beebe; the Maria Hilf, of which J. II. Renfert was the editor; the Pictorial World, managed by E. J. Farmer; and the Delnicke Liste (Workingmen's News). The first, third and fourth disappeared the following year, while the second and fifth lasted a twelvemonth longer. The only new venture recorded in 1877 was the Sunday Post, which was absorbed in the Voice the following year. The journalistic adventures of 1878, which have already come to an end, include the Household Gem and Pleasure and Profit. The West Side Sentinel (not the present Sentinel) and the Lantern, have come and gone during the present year. So also has the State, an anti-Catholic sheet, which began life about the first of February and closed in June. We have thus very briefly summarized the departed periodicals of Cleveland. Possibly a few of them may have escaped our attention, but this could hardly be avoided under the circumstances. We presume our readers will be satisfied with the number of those whose births and deaths have been thus recorded. We now proceed to submit sketches of those which are still upon earth, and most of which seem likely to make that their habitation for many years to come. THE CLEVELAND HERALD. The oldest newspaper in Cleveland is the Herald, the history of which dates back to 1819. With the exception of a small sheet, started the previous year and published irregularly for a short time, the Herald was the first to occupy the newspaper field in Cleveland. It was started as a weekly in the year above mentioned, the publishers being Z. Willes & Co., and for some time held the field alone. In the summer of 1836 the first daily newspaper was issued by Mr. Whittlesey, under the name of the Gazette, but on the 22d of March, 1837, it was united with the Herald and published as the Daily Herald and Gazette, the proprietors being Whittlesey and Hull. Soon after the consolidation Mr. Hull disposed of his interest to Josiah A. Harris, and after awhile Mr. Whittlesey also THE PRESS - 193 retired and Mr. Harris became sole proprietor of the Herald. At that time the total population of Cleveland, on both sides of the river, was about six thousand, and the business outlook very dark. But the Herald secured a firm hold of the people by its enterprise, ability and unflagging devotion to principle, characteristics which it has retained throughout its history. In 1850 a part interest was sold to A. W. Fairbanks, who assumed charge of the publishing department and added a job office, and in the spring of 1853 George A. Benedict became one of the partners and editors. At the close of the war of the rebellion Mr. Harris retired from the paper, leaving the ownership to Fairbanks, Benedict & Co.. Mr. Benedict being the editor-in-chief. In the intervening time between the commencement and close of Mr. Harris' connection with the paper, the Herald had grown from a weak, struggling sheet, to a journal of large circulation and commanding influence, and it had prospered so greatly that, instead of being printed on a press it did not own, it was the owner of a large building completely stocked with powerful presses and materials, and employed a large force. In 1876, Mr. Benedict died, and towards the close of that year his interest in the establishment was purchased by Mr. Fairbanks, who thus became sole owner. Near the end of 1877 the Herald was sold to Messrs. Richard C. Parsons and William Perry Fogg, and the Herald Publishing Company formed, with Mr. Parsons as editor-in-chief and Mr. Fogg as president of the company and business manager. With the advent of the new management fresh life was infused into the old and favorite newspaper; and it took its place among the foremost and most widely known journals of the country. Its circulation is large, and its influence great. The Daily Herald is issued morning and evening, there being three' regular editions of the evening issue, and there are also tri-weekly and weekly editions with heavy circulations. The staff of editors, reporters, telegraphic correspondents, and paid contributors is large and composed of the best material, no paper of its rank being better appointed in this respect. The politics of the Hcrald was Whig until the death of that party. It was the first paper in the Union to hoist the name of Fremont for President, before his nomination by the first Republican national convention, and since that time has always been an advocate of Republican principles. Under its present management it is noted for its vigorous and able advooacy of true republicanism, its staunch patriotism, and its fearless criticism of men and measures, whether in connection with politics or other subjects. THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER. In 1834 Canfield & Spencer purchased the Cleveland Advertiser of W. Woodward. They continued its publication as a Democratic weekly paper until 1836, when they transformed it into a daily. J. W. and A. N. Gray bought the paper in 1841 and changed its name to the Plain Dealer. J. W. Gray managed the editorial department, and he was not long in making the influence of the Plain Dealer felt in the party. Mr. Gray was a terse, trenchant and witty writer, and there was few more readable papers than his. From the start it was uncompromisingly Democratic. Polities, however, did not absorb all the space, for Mr. Gray had a sharp " nose for news," and especially aimed to make his local chronicles lively and entertaining. The earlier issues of the Plain Dealer were not of course up to the mechanical style that at present distinguishes it; but a copy issued seven years after the Grays assumed control, which lies before the writer, is of goodly size and neat typography, and is well filled with editorial, local, miscellaneous and telegraphic news. We italicize the last adjective, because telegrams were far less common in 1848 than they are now. The Plain Dealer was conspicuous in the Presidential campaigns from 1848 on, especially in 1852 and 1860. In the latter contest it was one of Stephen A. Douglas' principal supporters in his race against Breckenridge, Lincoln and Bell. The editor of the Plain Dealer was a warm personal friend of Mr. Douglas, and threw his whole soul into his service. When the clouds of civil war darkened the political sky the Plain Dealer threw all of its influence in favor of the government, but Mr. Gray was not long spared to wield his pen in favor of his country. After his death, which occurred in 1862, the paper declined through bad management; but four years later it was purchased by W. W. Armstrong, of Tiffin, a veteran editor and publisher, and was thoroughly rehabilitated. In 1877, Mr. Armstrong organized the Plain Dealer Publishing Company, and the paper has since been issued under the management of that company, of which W. W. Armstrong is president, and George Hoyt is vice president. Among the gentlemen editorially connected with the Plain Dealer who have become prominent, may be mentioned II. Bartlett, auditor of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad Company; J. B. Boughton, now on the staff of the New York Commercial Advertiser; ex-Judge J. D. Cleveland, a leading member of the Cleveland bar; Bishop McLaren, of the Episcopal diocese of Illinois; D. R. Locke, celebrated as "Petroleum V. Nasby," and the late Charles Farrar Browne, renowned in America and England as " Artemus Ward." The Plain Dealer is now (1879) in the enjoyment of a large circulation, and possesses an influence in the Democratic party surpassed by but one journal in Ohio; it being in all respects and without question the second Democratic daily in the State. 194 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. THE CLEVELAND LEADER. The germ of the Leader which has become one of the prominent newspapers of the country, is to be found in a journal established in what was then known as Ohio City (now the " West Side" of Cleveland,) in the year 1844, and called the "Ohio American." It was founded by R. B. Dennis, Esq., who published and edited it as an organ of the old " Liberty Party" till 1845. when it was published by Mr. Edwin Cowles, (the present editor of the Leader who was then but eighteen years old,) and edited by L. L. Rice. In 1846, Mr. Cowles transferred the publication to Mr. M. W. Miller, who continued his connection, in company with Mr. Rice, till 1848. In 1846, Hon. E. S. Hamlin, formerly member of congress from the Lorain district, founded a weekly anti-slavery Whig paper, called the True .democrat. It was first published at Olmsted Falls. In 1847 the True Democrat was moved to Cleveland, where it was changed into a daily. In 1848 the famous Buffalo convention met, composed of anti-slavery Whigs, who bolted the nomination of Gen, Taylor; of that branch of the New York Democracy known as " Barnburners," who bolted the nomination of Gen. Cass for the same office, and of the members of the old Liberty party, all of whom formed the Free Soil party, and nominated Martin Van Buren for president, and Charles Francis Adams for vice-president. The True Democrat and the American having commenced occupying the same political platform, were consolidated under the former name. During that year (1848,) Mr. Hamlin transferred the paper to Messrs. James A. Briggs and T. G. Turner, who edited and published it till the following year, when they sold out to Messrs. John C. Vaughan and the late Thomas Brown. In 1851 Mr. George Bradburn, of Boston, became associated with Messrs. Vaughan and Brown as one of the editors of the True Democrat, and the weight of his trenchant pen was felt in the Western Reserve in favor of the cause of the downtrodden slave. In 1852 Mr. Joseph Medill, now editor of the Chioago Tribune, came to Cleveland and established the Daily Forcst City. The result was that the journalistic field in Cleveland, at that time, was filled with daily papers to more than its supporting capaoity, there being the Herald, Plain Dealer and True Democrat to compete with the Forest City. The consequence was that all these papers were losing ventures. In 1853 the Forest City and True Democrat were consolidated under the name of the Daily Forest City Democrat. Mr. Edwin Cowles, who was then carrying on the printing business, was taken into partnership, the name of the new firm being Medill, Cowles & Co. Mr. Cowles had charge of the business department, and Messrs. Medill and Vaughan were the editors; Messrs. Brad burn and Brown having retired the year prey ions. In March, 1854, the long and cumbersome name of the Forest City Democrat was changed to that of the Cleveland Leader, which name the paper has borne ever since. In the spring of 1855, Mr. Cowles purchased the interest controlled by Messrs. Medill and Vaughan, and they moved to Chicago, taking with them Mr. Alfred Cowles, brother of Mr. Edwin Cowles, who had previously served as book-keeper in the Leader office. The three took possession of the Chicago Tribune, then in an exhausted condition financially, and raised it to its well known important position. From that time till 1867 Mr. Edwin Cowles was the sole proprietor of the Leader, with the exception of two brief periods, when he admitted partners into the business, from whom, however, he soon separated. In 1856, that veteran journalist, Mr. J. A. Harris, who had edited the Cleveland Herald for the previous twenty years, became associated with Mr. Cowles in the editorial work of the paper, and remained with him till the fall of 1860, when he resigned. At that time Mr. Cowles assumed the editorship, and has held the position ever since. In 1867 the Leader establishment was placed under the control of a stock company, under the name and style of the Cleveland Leader Printing Company, Mr. Cowles retaining a majority of the stock. The business of this corporation is for the purpose of publishing the Leader, and for carrying on its extensive printing establishment, which is celebrated for its handsome ornamental work and its fine book printing. This history is a specimen of its work. In this connection we would also mention that the Leader was the first newspaper in the world that was printed on a rotary lightning press which delivered the sheets pasted, with leaves cut at top and folded, all in one operation. Since 1869 the company has also issued an afterrounoon paper, called the Evening News, which reproduces the most important articles from the Leader, together with the later telegraphic and other news. The Leader, with its evening edition, has a larger circulation than any other Republican paper in the State. The company also publishes the Tri-weekly, the Weekly and the Sunday Leader; all papers of large circulation and wide influence. The officers of the company are as follows: Edwin Cowles, president ; E. H. Perdue, business manager ; B. 0. Wilcox, secretary ; Henry L. Brown, manager of the job printing department, and W. T. Stumm, foreman of the news room. The directors are: Edwin Cowles, E. H. Perdue, F. H. Mason, P. G. Watmough, B. 0. Wilcox, F. H. Bradner, Henry L. Brown and W. T. Stumm. The editorial staff consists of the following gentlemen: Edwin Cowles, editor ; Capt. F. H. Mason, managing editor, assisted by J. C. Keifer, J. C. Covert, Henry A. Ford, J. H. Kennedy, F. H. Bradner, Eugene H. Cowles, and a large force of local reporters, besides two hundred correspondents located in all the large cities of the Union THE PRESS - 195 and at all prominent points in the country west of the Alleghenies. The success of the Leader may safely be ascribed not only to its thorough business management, but to its strong advocacy of Republican principles, to its bold position on all questions of the day, (opposing slavery when slavery was powerful, and now opposing every description of tyranny, whatever) and last, not least, to its being emphatically a live news paper in every sense of the word. Mr. Cowles is now the senior editor of Cleveland. The Leader has risen to its present position under his editorial management, and he will doubtless continue the work of improvement until it shall be the peer in power of any journal in the west. THE OHIO FARMER. This paper, a weekly agricultural, live stock and family journal, was established in January, 1848, by Thomas Brown. He built up for it a fair circulation, and an enviable reputation as an enterprising agricultural paper; bat, becoming financially embarrassed, relinquished his control of it in August, 1862. It then passed into the hands of William B. Fairchild, as publisher, and Sullivan D. Harris, as editor. At this time the Ohio Cultivator, which was established in 1845, and was for seventeen years conducted by M. B. Bateham and S. D. Harris, at Columbus, Ohio, was purchased and consolidated with the Ohio Farmer, which became the only agricultural paper of the State. In December, 1866, Mr. Fairchild sold his interest as publisher to A. W. Parker. On the 29th of October, 1867, Mr. Parker died, and the publication was continued by Mr. Harris alone until January following, when the services of George E. Blakelee were secured as associate editor. On the 1st of January, 1869, Mr. Harris retired, and Mr. Blakelee became editor and proprietor. While the paper had, up to this time, maintained a high standard of excellence, and enjoyed a fair patronage, it had brought financial ruin upon each of its managers. In December, 1872, M. J. Lawrence purchased the paper from Mr. Blakelee, and became sole editor and proprietor. He shortly afterward procured the assistance of M. E. Williams as associate editor, and under the management of these gentlemen the paper is now conducted. The Ohio Farmer, at the present time, has a large and steadily increasing circulation, and takes a prominent position in American agricultural journalism. Its circulation extends throughout Ohio and the neighboring States of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan, and it is well known in every State and territory of the Union. In 1874 Mr. Lawrence purchased the Buckeye Farmer, a paper for several years published at West Salem, Ohio, and united it with the Ohio Farmer. In February, 1879, he also purchased the American Farm Journal, for nine years published at Toledo, Ohio, and consolidated that paper with the Farmer. This paper stands to-day upon a firm and substantial basis, successful financially and in point of circulation, and is assuredly the agricultural organ of the State. WAECHTER AM ERIE. The title of this leading German newspaper in Northern Ohio, reads in English "Sentinel on Erie." The present editor, proprietor and publisher, Mr. A. Theime, was its original proprietor, and issued the first number August 9, 1852. In 1866, Mr. Theime organized a stock company, called the Waechter am Erie Company, by which the publication of the journal was continued until 1871. In that year Mr. Theime resumed sole charge of it, and since that date its proprietary status has remained the same. Early in its history, although substantially independent in politics, the paper inclined toward Democracy, and this tone it maintained until the organization of the Liberal Republican party, of which, in Ohio, Mr. Theime was one of the pioneers, when its influence was carried over to that organization. Since the demise of Liberal Republicanism the Waechter am Erie has aimed to pursue a liberal but independent course touching the political questions of the day. The paper contains four pages, with thirty-two columns, issues daily and weekly editions, and enjoys not only a wide circulation, but also an important place as a director of public opinion. PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION. The first effort at establishing a publishing house for the Evangelical Association, was made in 1816, when the organization was about sixteen years old, and the whole membership numbered only one thousand four hundred persons. The immediate instrumentality of this enterprise was the late Father John Dreisbach, then a young man. While on a visit to Philadelphia he bought, at his own expense, the necessary outfit for a small printing office and book bindery, of which he made the conference a present. Preparations were then made to carry the project into effect. The conference appointed a book commission, consisting of seven members, to which was assigned the erection and management of a printing establishment. A small wooden building, twenty by twenty-six feet, one story, and a half high, was erected on a part of the lot occupied by the first church edifice of the Association, at New Berlin, Union county, Pennsylvania, in which the business was established on a basis, as was then thought, adequate to the demands of the organization. A' book agent and assistant were at once elected, and work commenced. But the church was too young and weak properly to support suoh an institution, and the concern became involved, adjusted its affairs, and ceased its operations. From this time on until 1836, book publishing was still carried on, but the work was contracted for. In November, 1836, at a special meeting of the General Conference, it was decided to 196 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY. again locate a book establishment at New Berlin, Pennsylvania, which was done the next year. The church in its further development, as well as the business of the establishment, extended westward, and in 1851, the General Conference ordered the removal of the publishing house to Cleveland. This was consummated in 1854, and the new building erected on Woodland avenue, then called Kinsman street, where the business is still carried on. It was far up town, almost out of the city, and considering its position in a comparatively unsettled neighborhood, was quite imposing. It was forty feet front and sixty-five feet deep, and three and a half stories high. Though larger than necessary at first, some departments soon became cramped for room. Thousands of dollars worth of work was refused for want of printing facilities. This led to the erection in the year 1874 of a new building for store and office purposes, while the old was to remain as the manufacturing department. The new block occupies lots 214 and 216, Woodland avenue, adjoining the former premises. It has a frontage of fifty-five feet and a half, with a depth on Vine street of eighty feet and a half. It is four stories high, of brick, with best cut sandstone, rubbed surface, window sills and caps, the caps on the front being belted together with stone. The first story, on Woodland avenue is all sandstone, with large windows, having single panes of best British plate glass. The building throughout is substantial and convenient in its arrangements, being provided with all needed modern improvements, and is heated by steam radiators in the different rooms distributing the heat. The business of the Publishing House continued to increase until it became necessary to erect still another building. In October, 1877, the Board of Publication ordered this improvement, and in September, 1878, the building was ready for occupancy. It fronts on Harmon street, and in style of architecture corresponds with that erected a few years ago on Woodland avenue, for the book store and clerical and literary departments,—brick, with stone sills, caps and trimmings. Indeed, what has thus far been finished is only a part of the block that is eventually to occupy the entire premises, and was planned from the beginning. It measures thirty-five feet by sixty-eight feet, has four stories besides basement, with large and well lighted rooms, and is built throughout in a most substantial manner, of the very best material. Thus, originating in a small way in New Berlin, Union county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1837, with an investment of about two hundred dollars, this has become one of the largest publishing houses in the country. The business of the association requires a capital of three hundred and eighty-two thousand dollars, and furnishes employment to nearly one hundred hands, besides having a large branch house in Germany and a depository in Canada. The range of its business includes a wholesale and retail bookstore, and the publication of books and periodicals. The follow ing English publications are a part of its periodical literature: The Evangelical Messenger, The Sunday School Messenger, The Blackboard, Hy Lesson and The Evangelical Lesson Leaf, weekly; The Living Epistle, Thc Evangelic) Teacher and The Sunday School Messenger, monthly, and a semi-monthly edition of The Sunday School Messenger. In the German language it publishes Der Uhrislliche Botschafter, (the oldest and most widely circulated religious weekly in the country,) Der Christliche Kinderfreund, Die Wandtafel, Laemnierweide and Das Evangelische Lectionsblalt, weekly; Das Evangelische Magazin and Der Christliche Kinderfreund, monthly; and Der Christliche Kinderfreund, semi-monthly. In Germany it issues Der Evangelische Botschafter, weekly, and Der Evangelische Kindeifreund, monthly. The issues in America average one hundred thousand copies per week; those in Germany twelve thousand. This house is a church association, under the authority of the General Conference of the Evangelical Association, which appoints its offrcers and a board of publication to actin the interim of its sessions, and is under the direct management of a publishing agent. Its net profits, beyond what is needed for its own development, are devoted. to benevolent purposes, being divided among the annual conferences, for the support of poor ministers, or ministers' widows and orphans. The present publishing agent who has served for the last nine years, is Rev. W. F. Schneider. PERIODICALS OF THE EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION. DER CHRISTLICHE BOTSCHAFTER. The Christliche Botschafter was established by the fifth General Conference of the Evangelical Association, held at Orwigsburg, May 25, 1835. The first number was issued January 1, 1836, at New Berlin, Union county, Pennsylvania. It was eight and a half inches broad and ten and three-eighths inches long, and had eight pages. With the beginning of 1840, the Botschafter appeared, somewhat enlarged, and semi-monthly. This volume was commenced with two thousand and seventy subscribers. With the fifteenth volume (1850,) it was enlarged and furnished with new type. In 1855, the Botschafter appeared in a considerably enlarged form. From November of that year it was published weekly. In 1867, it was again enlarged. The subscription price was raised in 1868 to two dollars and the paper again considerably enlarged. At present it numbers over nineteen thousand subscribers, and is the oldest, largest, and most extensively circulated German religious newspaper published in America. DER CHRISTLICHE KINDERFREUND. A German Sunday-school paper, well illustrated. It was commenced in June, 1856, with five thousand subscribers, and its maximum number now is over thirty thousand. It is highly valued by its many THE PRESS - 197 readers on account of its excellent reading matter and pictures. Three editions are issued; weekly, semimonthly and monthly. DAS EVANGELISCHE MAGAZIN. Das Evangelische Magazin was established in July, 1869, as a private enterprise. The General Conference of the Evangelical Association purchased it in 1871, and has since ordered material improvements. It is now a monthly magazine of thirty-six large pages, ably edited, beautifully printed, finely illustrated, designed to entertain and instruct in the family circle, and devoted to the interests of the Sunday-school and its promoters. It enjoys a continually increasing circle of readers, and is an especial favorite of those who are friends of a literature that is healthy and sound, and at the same time entertaining. It has a circulation of over eight thousand. The subscription price is one dollar and twenty-five cents a year. LAEMMERWEIDE. This is a weekly illustrated juvenile paper, established in 1876, and particularly designed for infant Sunday-school classes. It is printed in large type on tinted paper. It contains the lesson for the respective Sunday, but put in a form to suit young children. EVANGELISCHES LECTIONSBLATT. A lesson leaf containing the lessons of the International S. S. series with golden text, topic, questions, and practical applications. DIE WANDTAFEL. Die Wandtafel is an exact facsimile of a real blackboard, thirty-two by forty-eight inches in size, and designed to illustrate the International Sunday School Lessons.

It started with eight hundred subscribers. It was a royal sheet of four pages. It had sixteen columns of reading matter, but no advertisements, and was issued semi-monthly. The subscription price was one dollar. A new volume of the Messenger was commenced with the year 1851. It was reduced in form to a demi quarto sheet of eight pages. In August of 1864, it was advanced to one dollar and twenty-five cents, and so continued until the end of 1867. At the commencement of 1868 the price was raised to two dollars.   In November, 1861, the Messenger appeared as a weekly, without change of size or price. Eighteen hundred and sixty-eight ushered in its last and greatest change. It then assumed its present form and price. It has at present a circulation of between nine thousand and ten thousand.   THE LIVING EPISTLE.   The Living Epistle was founded in January, 1869, and published by a company as a private enterprise. It became the property of the Evangelical Association in January, 1872, and has since been published by it. It is a monthly magazine of thirty-two pages, devoted to the spread of Scriptural holiness and a pure literature.   EVANGELICAL SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.   The Evangelical Sunday School Teacher was established in January, 1876, to meet the wants of those in the Evangelical church who were inquiring for a low-priced standard magazine, containing notes, explanations and illustrations of the International Sunday School Lessons.

Following upon the first named paper, Der Laemmerhirte (The Shephcrd) was put forward as a monthly and semi-monthly Sunday School publication, and in 1876, Die Abend Lust (The Evening Joy) was added as a journal for general circulation. These three named newspapers, and a small Sunday School pamphlet called Lections Blaetter (Lesson Leaf) comprise the issues of the house, the business of which is carried on by H. J. Ruetenik, at 991 Scranton Avenue, as business agent and editor.   BRAINARD'S MUSICAL WORLD.   In 1854 the Cleveland music-publishing house of S. Brainard & Co. issued an eight-page monthly journal devoted to the interests of music, and its success proved so substantial that successive increases in volume to sixteen, to thirty-two and to forty pages, followed as a necessity. S. Brainard's Sons, as the successors of S. Brainard & Cc., conduct the publication now, and as the firm has also branch houses in Chicago and Cincinnati, the Musical World is issued simultaneously the first of each month in the three cities. Karl Merz is the managing editor and is assisted by a full corps of capable writers.   GERMAN BAPTIST PUBLICATIONS AND PUBLISHING SOCIETY.   In the year 1851 there were only five German Baptist ministers in this country, with churches numbering but four hundred and one members. From that time until 1878, there were nearly ten thousand baptisms, and the number of pastors increased to one hundred and thirty.   At the Triennial Conference of the German Baptists of the United States and Canadas, held at Berlin, Ontario, in 1866, Phillip W. Biekel was elected editor and secretary of the society. For some months previous, there had been published a monthly paper called Der Sendbote des Evangeliums, but at this 'meeting the name was changed to Der Sendbote, and the publication issued weekly instead of monthly. From that time the society dates its progress. A general desire for a greater extension of the work and usefulness of the society was expressed, and for this more capital was needed. J. T. Burghardt, of the German Baptist Church of Louisville, Kentucky, offered to give to the society a cash donation of $2,000 with the condition that the German ohurches would make up an equal sum. They did so, making up the whole sum and more. These cash donations were used; in the year 1872, in buying a piece of property on Forest street. A house was erected, type, presses and machinery were bought, and books, tracts and papers were published and distributed throughout the country. In June, 1874, the building was partially destroyed by fire. This loss was more seriously felt as there was no insurance on the property. The new building, on the corner of Payne avenue and Dalton street, was completed and occupied by the society in May, 1878. The agent of the society is H. Shulte. It is now publishing the following papers:   DER SENDBOTE.   This is the only German Baptist weekly published in this country, and was established in January, 1866. It is an eight-page paper, twenty-six by thirty-eight inches in size, and is strictly denominational. Its circulation is about four thousand copies.   DER MUNTERE SAEMANN. (THE CHEERFUL SOWER.)   The first number of this monthly was issued January 1, 1866. It is non-denominational, and published for the benefit of the Sunday School and home circle generally. Its circulation is nine thousand five hundred.   DIE SONNTAGSFREUDE. (THE SUNDAY JOY.)   This publication is for the use of Sunday Schools. The first number was issued in January, 1873. It is published monthly, and contains the international series of lessons which have been introduced into nearly all Christian denominations. It is denominational in its tendency. Its circulation is three thousand eight hundred.   DER WEGWEISER. (THE GUIDE.)   This is a monthly publication for the use of the churches. Its intention is to lead strangers to the church. It was started in January, 1876, and has a circulation of thirty-two hundred copies, distributed gratuitously.   THE TRADE REVIEW.   The weekly newspaper now published under the above title, was established in January, 1868, by Messrs. Geo. H. Adams, Ezra S. Adams and Kipp Stone under the name of The Ohio Weekly Review. The paper was a success from the start, yielding large returns to the proprietors. After a few months the Messrs. Adams purchased the interest of Mr. Stone, at the rate of ten thousand dollars for the whole, and continued the publication on their own account. At a subsequent date the title of the paper was changed to that of Commercial Review, as more expressive of the character of the publication. This in turn gave place to that of Manufacturing and Trade Review, under which title it continued to July, 1879, when it passed into the hands of the Review Publishing Company, who dropped the word " manufacturing" as being too long, and continued the publication under the shorter and more convenient title of The Trade Review. The character of the paper remains, however, substantially as heretofore, as an organ of the manufacturing, industrial and commercial interests of the West. It is under the editorial management of Mr. Geo. 0: Davies, an early resident of this city, but for many years past of Cincinnati and Dayton.   THE PRESS - 199   THE BEREA ADVERTISER.   The Advertiser was first issued on the 20th day of June, 1868, by the Berea Job Printing Company, and then bore its present name. On the 17th of April, 1869, C. Y. Wheeler became editor and proprietor, and conducted the paper, under the name of Grindstone City Advertiscr, until February 17, 1871, when it was purchased by Gardner and Wilcox, who became editors and proprietors. Mr. Wilcox retired on the 22nd of September, 1872, and P. B. Gardner then published the paper till March 27, 1874, when he transferred it to W. H. Pearce. It was conducted by him until September 1, 1877, when it was purchased by the Republican Printing Company; H. E. Foster and H. F. Kastendieck becoming editors, and E. D. Peebles business manager. Mr. Foster and Kastendieck both retired from the editorial management within the year; since then the paper has been conducted with marked success by Mr. E. D. Peebles. In January, 1879, the name was changed to The Berea Advertiser.   LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS' JOURNAL.   The first number of this monthly, under the style of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal, was published in January, 1867, the offices then being located at Rochester, New York. S. R. Mudge was the first editor. In October, 1868, the executive offices were removed to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and the publication continued at that place, under the editorship of Wilson and Mudge. In 1870, the offices were again changed, and Cleveland made the headquarters of the Grand International Division, where the publication has since been carried on. The Journal is a forty-eight page pamphlet, and devoted to the interests of the locomotive department of railroads. The monthly circulation of the Journal amounts to about ten thousand copies, which are taken throughout all parts of the United States and Canadas. Quite a number of copies also go to England, Scotland, Central India and Central America. The present editors are P. M. Arthur, G. C. E., and T. S. Ingraham, F. G. E.   THE SUNDAY VOICE.   The first number of the Sunday Morning Voice was issued on the 15th of October, 1871. The parties originally engaged in the publication of the paper were W. S. Robison, L. O. Rawson, Thomas Whitehead and E. C. Hardy. Before the close of the first year, however, W. S. Robison purchased the interests of the other parties, and became sole proprietor. During the first year or more of its existence, the paper had to combat the strong popular prejudice against Sunday papers, and the enterprise was consequently unprofitable. It made steady progress, however, and before the completion of its second year was on a paying basis, and had become an acknowledged necessity. From that time till now it has maintained a vigorous hold upon the popular regard, and realized a fair degree of prosperity. In June, 1878, Hon. O. J. Hodge having purchased the Sunday Post, that paper was consolidated with the Voice, and the title became the Sunday Voice and Post. Subsequently Post was dropped, and the present name adopted—the Cleveland Voice. The proprietors are Messrs. Robison and Hodge, under the style of the Voice Publishing Company, Mr. Hodge being editor-in-chief, and Mr. Robison, business manager. The consolidation of the two competing Sunday papers proved a highly advantageous arrangement, both for the public and the parties in interest. The popularity of the Voice was never so wide-spread and firmly rooted as at present, and its advance keeps steady pace with the growth of the community. Mr. E. C. Hardy is still connected with the paper, occupying the position of associate editor, while Mr. C. C. Ruthrauff, who has been on the paper for the past six years, is its city editor. The office of publication is No. 118, Seneca street.   THE CLEVELAND ANZEIGER.   The Cleveland Anzeiger was founded August 15, 1871, by Henry Gentz, and issued tri-weekly as an independent German newspaper until August 5, 1872, when it was bought by a stock company of prominent Republicans of Cuyahoga county, and issued daily and weekly. Since this time it has been the Republican German organ of Northern Ohio. January 1, 1874 the stock company sold out to Bohm, Kraus & Co.; two years after this Mr. Kraus became exclusive owner of the paper, but sold out on September 1, 1877, to Mr. Kauffmann, one of the editors of the Cincinnati Volksblatt. Since that time the paper has been published—by Mr. Kauffman, who is its editor. Daily circulation, two thousand three hundred; weekly and Sunday, two thousand eight hundred.   DIE BIENE.   Die Biene was established in 1872, the first number being issued January 1st. It was, at that time, Democratic in politics, and under the charge of William Miller as editor. In 1876, a stock company was formed, at which time the political sentiment of the paper was changed, and it has since continued as an independent Sunday morning weekly. Its circulation is about fifteen hundred.   In addition to their weekly paper, the Biene Publishing Company furnish " insides " for twenty-two different German and English weeklies in Ohio and other States. The editorial department is under the charge of Henry Minnig.   STANDARD OF THE CROSS.   This is a forty-column weekly, devoted to the interests of the Episcopal church, and is published by W. C. French, who has the assistance of his son in editing it. The Standard of the Cross was first issued August 18, 1868, at Oberlin, Ohio, as a continuation
