Description | The National Republican, originating on November 26, 1860, stood as Washington, D.C.'s sole Republican voice. Founded by William J. Murtaugh, Louis Clephane, Martin Beull, and William Blanchard, it staunchly supported Abraham Lincoln and the Republican cause. Initially focused on Congress proceedings and Civil War coverage, it evolved into a platform for Republican ideals. Notable for its stance against Bourbon Democrats, it faced turmoil, including the fatal shooting of Antonio M. Soteldo in 1882 and a destructive fire in 1885. Financial troubles led to its closure in June 1888. Despite its end, it left a lasting mark as a vital Republican voice in the nation's capital.
