Description | The Washington Hatchet, founded in 1883, initially embraced humor and satire, drawing inspiration from the legendary tale of George Washington and the cherry tree. With William T. Talbott as editor and William H. Pope as publisher, it humorously claimed honesty with the slogan "I can't tell a lie." Political cartoons by George Y. Coffin adorned its pages, offering satirical commentary. Despite its early success, the paper shifted tone under William J. Armstrong's leadership, focusing on diverse topics and dropping its pictorial format. However, this transformation couldn't stave off decline, marked by office relocations and dwindling circulation, leading to its demise around 1902.
