Description | The Daily Free Press, a Trenton paper from 1876 to 1877, reflected Democratic views and fiercely opposed "crooked Republicanism." Led by Charles W. Jay, known for his sharp wit, the paper delivered biting critiques and witty local news columns. Amid Trenton's industrial boom, it emerged as a voice for "straight Democracy." Endorsing Tilden and Hendricks in the disputed 1876 presidential race, it fervently opposed Hayes, echoing widespread Democratic sentiment. However, financial strains led to its closure in February 1878. Jay's departure marked the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of bold journalism and political advocacy in the bustling capital city. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1876 of this newspaper. |
