The "Commercial Tribune" was created in 1896 by the merger of the longstanding "Commercial Gazette" and newcomer "Cincinnati Tribune". Murat Halstead was a well-known editor of "The Commercial" and "The Commercial Gazette" in the 1860s-1880s. A representative of John Roll McLean, owner of "The Cincinnati Enquirer", acquired the paper in 1911, and continued to operate it as a Republican paper (as opposed to the Democratic Party slant of the "Enquirer"). The decline in Republican fortunes and the financial situation of the paper in general led to its close in December 1930.
