Volume Eighty-Eight.

With this issue The Republican Journal en-
ters upon its eighty eighth year, and next
May will have completed 81 years, under the
present management. 1t has no new pledges
to make, but will continue its-b best eudeayors to
promote the material and moral welfare of the
community and to fulfill the mission of week
ly newspaper in presenting the news of the
city and county. In this connection brief
history of the paper may be OF interest
The first number of the Republican Journal
was issued February 6. 1929. by Messrs. Robert
White and Cyrus Rowe under the firm name of
White & Rowe. It subsequently went through
several changes Of ownership. John W. Frost.

Ties, In July, 1851, edited The Journal in 1884,
He was then student at law with the Hon.
Alfred johnson. Another OF the early editors
was Benjamin Griffin Of Boston, who went
to California in the bark Suliote in 1849.
and on his return east edited the P rovidence
Daily Journal and the Syracuse, N. Y. Demo.
crat He died in Fayetteville, New York in
1874. The Journal was enlarged and improved
in 1S45, and in January, 1849, George 3. Moore
and Levi K. Wing, young men who had served
their apprenticeship 10 the office, became the
proprietors. Mr.. Moore was the editor and
was very able writer. the Journal was pub
lished by George B. Moore & Co, and Wing e.
Moore until 1855. when J. G. Dickerson, then a
justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, bought
Wings interest and the firm became Moore &
Dlckerson. In May, 1858, William H. Simpson,
who had just sold the Kennebec Journal TO
James 6. Blaine, bought The Journal, Mr..
Moore continuing editor until 1861, when
he was appointed customs inspector at Cam

fisoury In May, 1879, Mr. Simpsons name
appeared as editor and proprietor until Oc-
tober, 1880, when W. h. Simpson, Chas. A.
filsbury and Russell G. Dyer formed corpo-
ration under the name of The Republican
journal Publishing Co., with Mr.. Simpson as
president. Mr.. Pilsbury as editor and Mr..
Dyer as local editor and business manager.

to meet the demand of space for local news

change necessitating a new press, folder. a
complete new dress and an addition to the
building in which to install the new machinery.

The Republican journal., 1916-01-06

The pages of the first issue of The Journal
were about Il by Is inches, and it was printed
almost wholly upon long primer type, and the
entire contents if printed upon the type used
today would not fill more than quarter of
page. Neither then. nor for many years
after, was there any local news Foreign
news, brought by sailing vessels from over
seas, was given considerable space, and whole
paper would be given up to a presidents mes
sage, two or three weeks after it had been de-
iyered. Later, as the paper was enlarged,
there were editorials two or more columns in
length, long articles on European questions,
and then. as in later days and down to present
time, The Journal had list of contributors
that we do not believe has been equaled by
any weekly newspaper in the country. Its
local news features were developed gradually.
In the early 70's the news of the city and
county rarely occupied more than two col
umns. while today from three to four of the
sight pages are devoted to local matters.

Mr.. Simpson bought The Republican Journal,
which from the first issue had been an ex-
poneut of Jeffersonian Democracy, and under
his management it continued to uphold the
principles and policy of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Simpson was master printer and not
only made the paper model typogra phically
but soon demonstrated that he welded a
trenchant pen. He was, in fact. one of the
ablest editors Name has ever produced. and
what is said of Mr. Moore in williamson s
History is literally true of him:
He introduced style of writing new to the
newspaper press of this State-a manner of
dealing with everyday events remarkable for
Its freshness, conciseness and playful humor
Ills political articles were philosophical rather
than practical. but they were always made
brilliant and attractive by apt aliusions curious
quotations and d warm glow of humor In
that rare faculty of paragraphing, of saying
much in few words, Mr.. Moore was unriyalled,
He was an antagonist to be feared in a politi-
cal controversy. for he compreherded at once
his adversarys situation. ne perceived its
weak points, and he possessed the dangerous
faculty of overwhelming with wit and ridi-
cule those whom ne could not confound by
argument.
Those now living Who read The Journal
when edited by Mr.. Simpson will recognize
the tfuthfulness of this paragraph as applied
to his writings, He was a compositor in The
Journal office when Mr.. Moore was editor and
his literary style may have been shaped some-
what then, but he was endowed. as was Mr.
Moore. with great natural ability, originality,
