It was The Times which bitterly denounced the Republican Re-
turning Board which gave the election to Hayes. The Daily
States, established January 3, 1880, used as its motive power
to turn its press an "old and blind but willing and muscular
darky." In Boston The Journal, founded February 5, 1833, grew
so prosperous from the start given it during the Civil War by
the correspondence of Charles Charleton Coffin that The Globe
was established in that city on March 4, 1872, with an evening
edition on March 7, 1878. At Chicago The Republican appeared
on May 30, 1865; The Evening Post on September 4, 1865; The
Evening Mail, on October 18, 1870; The Interocean on March
25, 1872; The Daily News, on December 26, 1875. In Philadel-
phia The Record was launched on June 1, 1877, as a one-cent
newspaper, the first after the Civil War; it was the outgrowth
of The Public Record, a paper founded on May 10, 1870, which
had no influence and was a losing venture until William M.

was in 1865 sold at auction for eighty-nine thousand dollars and
passed through various hands until it finally, after its circulation
had dwindled to less than five thousand, became the property

John W. Forney and one of the most influential newspapers
during the Civil War Period, passed into the control of Calvin
Wells in 1879. The Pennsylvania Inquirer changed its name to
The Philadelphia Inquirer and became one of the most influen-
tial Republican newspapers of the State. The first number of
The News appeared in Indianapolis on December 7, 1869; a few
subsequent issues were called The Evening News, but after a few
months it became The Indianapolis News, under which title it
is still published. In Washington, D. C., The Evening Star, which
had been founded December 16, 1852, became after the war
a newspaper whose growth has been contemporaneous with
the development of Washington. After the war, John W. Forney
devoted most of his time to The Press of Philadelphia and al-
