Description | The Delaware Democrat, established in Georgetown, Delaware, on January 7, 1882, by the Delaware Democrat Publishing Company, served as a Democratic-leaning publication printed weekly. Initially equipped with materials from the discontinued Delaware Inquirer, the company comprised figures like John R. McFee, John H. Paynter, Edwin R. Paynter, and William B. Tomlinson. Led by John H. Paynter as editor, the newspaper thrived, adopting a power press to bolster efficiency. Despite rising competition, it expanded its readership, focusing on political content aligned with the Democratic Party and covering state and county elections comprehensively. Alongside political updates, it also provided conventional news like railroad schedules and local grain prices. Following a merger in 1905, it evolved into the Sussex Journal and Delaware Democrat. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1882 of this newspaper. |
