MS experience with the Tolerant Best
Citizens of st. Louis and Alton.
The year following his graduat.on Eli
Jan Lovely removed to st. Louis. where
ne established a school and where his
contributions to the press won for him
the reputation Of thoughtful aud earn
est writer. In 1929 he became the editor
of political paper, in which he sup
ported Henry Clay as candidate for the
presidency. He continued in Journalism
at this time for nearly three years, and
then, as the result of change in his re-
ligious views, turned his attention to the
ministry. He entered the Princeton The
illogical seminary and April rs. 1882. fin
ished his course.
Returning to st. Louis in the fall,
Lovejoy, at the request of a friend, took
charge of a religious paper called the
Observer. In this paper he severely
condemned slavery and advocated grad
ual emancipation Of the colored race.
In 1885 letter signed by many of the
most respected men Of st. Louis was
sent to Editor Lovejoy requesting him
to moderate the tone of his editorials
regarding slavery. In an article in the
OpSerVer ne replleu TO tnlS cOmmunlca-
ton by repeating his views, claiming a
right to express them as he saw fit. But
owing to repeated threats of mob vio-
lence he at last removed his paper to
Alton, Ills. This was in July, 1885, a
little more than a year before his sad
death. Three times within the pericd
Of a year after he came to Alton Love-
joys newspaper plant and press were
destroyed by mobs.
A fourth new press was received at
midnight Nov. g., 1887. The following
night the mob again attacked the build
Ing where The Observer was published.
Lovejoy and his friends were prepared
for the attack and defended themselves
| to the best Of their ability. One mem
Der of the intruding mob was killed in
the encounter. Attempts were then made
to fire the building, and Captain Lor-
ing, one Of the defenders, asked volun-
teers to make a sortie. Lovejoy was
one of the three who unhesitatingly Of
fered his services On going outside he
received five bullets in his body and
died almost Instantly.
