| Description | The Delaware Straight-Out Truth Teller, established in Wilmington in October 1872 by John A. Brown and William Dean, emerged amidst political discord surrounding the 1872 presidential election. Stemming from divisions within the Republican Party and the emergence of the Liberal Republican Party, the Democrats opted to endorse Horace Greeley, the Liberal Republican candidate. This move led some Democrats, opposed to Greeley's nomination, to form the Straight-Out Democratic Party, later known as the Bourbon Party. The Truth Teller ardently supported the Straight-Out Democrats' candidate, Charles O’Conor, and his running mate, John Quincy Adams II, emphasizing their divergence from Greeley and the Liberal Republicans. The newspaper vehemently discouraged its readers from voting for Greeley, asserting that doing so would undermine Democratic principles. Despite its fervent advocacy, the fate of the Delaware Straight-Out Truth Teller remains uncertain, as its cessation of publication date is unclear.
