Saturday we published, what
to us at least, was an interest
ta* picture of page one of The
Griffin Daily News for Nov. 9,
1892. It showed how Douglas
Gleasner, one time owner grid'
editor of The News, played Up
the election of Grover Cleve
land to the Presidency of the
United States. It also showed
the origin of the custom orifthe
port of The News of p ublishing
a crowing rooster when the
Democratic candidate Is elect
ed.
We have had several persons
tcU us that this reproduction
was of interest to them also.
One of those who liked the pic
ture was Judge Lucien Good
rich, Griffin attorney and his
torian. He wrote us a letter
Good Evening believes will also
interest a lot of our readers.
The letter follows:
The photostat of the old
Griffin News of November 9,
WW brought back many pleas
ant and vivid memories. I was
not a regular “carrier," but I
wa* an “extra” who helped de
B*er that particular Issue.
of course, there were no Hno
typ*. to those days.iSfiMhe’pa
per whs printed ob a hand
press located on the second
floor of the building where
WAk Mashburn and The Im
perlal Barber Slop now are.
The paper was generally print
ed on the evening of the day
before. But this Issue was held
back for late returns, and was
actually printed after sun-up
on November 9. Hence the ne
cessity of extra carriers.
November 9, 1993 was a day
of jollification ending with a
^
huge bonfire at the Intersection
of HUl usd Solomon streets,
where the Confederate monu
ment now stands, and a general
torch light procession that
night ta which everybody car
ried a fat ligfatwood torch,
which smoked our faces black.
But it was a wonderful oc
casion.
It’s also llnterestlng to note
that the newly elected governor
of Illinois—Adlal Stevenson—Is
the grandson of the man who
ran with Cleveland as vice
president on the successful
Democratic ticket to 1 *92. The
present Stevenson, is among
those being mentioned as a
possible Presidential nominee in
1962.
The elder Stevenson, who was
successful with Cleveland, was
also a vice-president nominee
later when he. ran with William
Jennings Bryan to 1996. Bryan
lost that election to William Me
Ktaley. '
i
McKinley was elected largely
because the great political dict
ator Mark Hanna, of Ohio, with
plenty of “big business’ money
at his command, backed Mc
Kinley. Many students of polit
ics are of the oponion that had
Bryan had the use of radio, to
carry his .eloquence to the peo
ple, that that Hanna-backed
Republican ticket would have
been defeated. ;
