William Alexander Linn, Horace Greeley Founder and Editor of The New York Tribune, Chapter 2: first experiences in New York city-the New Yorker (search)
headedness in business matters, and may have been guided by an ambition to edit a creditable literary journal rather than by any careful estimate of its possible financial success. Greeley planned to combine in his New Yorker literature, politics, statistics, and general intelligence. His success in making a good paper of his initial venture was a sufficient proof of his editorial ability. What the New Yorker was he made it almost unaided. In his farewell address to his subscribers, in 1841, when the paper was merged with the Weekly Tribune, he said: The editorial charge of the New Yorker has from the first devolved on him who now addresses its readers. At times he has been aided in the literary department by gentlemen of decided talent and eminence [including Park Benjamin, Henry J. Raymond, in a letter to R. W. Griswold, from Burlington, Vt., October 31, 1839, said: I am sorry Benjamin has left the New Yorker. If he had exerted himself but a little he could have made that

Herald in 1840 printed from ten to fifteen columns a day. The experience in trusting subscribers of the New Yorker had not been a sufficient warning, and again credit was given, to be followed by another appeal to friends who owe us, saying, We implore you to do us justice, and enable us to do the same. Greeley was never a good business man, and it would have required a man of extraordinary business, as well as literary, ability to do the work he did in New York city and Albany from 1838 to 1841, with two journals almost constantly on his hands, and taking an active part in committee work, making speeches, and receiving the hundreds of people who came to him with suggestions or for advice. In illustration of his business methods Parton relates that, one spring day, after getting the mail from the post-office, Greeley put it into his overcoat pocket, forgot all about it, and left his coat hanging on the peg until autumn, when he had occasion to use it again. Then he discovered the

as probably not another man in this country who was then editing two newspapers, and the editor of one newspaper was a person to be pointed out in those days. The big circulation of the Log Cabin had still further increased his reputation, and in 1841 he received an urgent invitation to assume the editorship of the Madisonian, a weekly which it was proposed to publish in Washington, D. C., as an Administration daily, and to which he afterward contributed. He was therefore justified in his belieneral Harrison to the presidency. How nearly the death of the President, which occurred on April 4, came to checking the Tribune enterprise Greeley explained in a brief autobiography, dated April 14, 1845, which was published after his death: In 1841 I issued the first number of the Daily Tribune, which I should not have done had I not issued a prospectus before General Harrison's death. The birthday of the Tribune fell on the date of the funeral parade held in New York city as a mark of m

vice, misery, waste, and want infinitely diminished, by a reorganization of society upon the principle of Association, or a combination of effort, instead of the present system of isolated households. Henry J. Raymond wrote to R. W. Griswold in 1841: Greeley got himself into a scrape by connecting himself with it (The Future), and the city-especially the Sunday-papers came down upon him with a vengeance. He's rather sorry that he enlisted, and is trying to take the curse off by advertising B and a most advantageous field for their industry and skill, but social and intellectual enjoyments, and every means of a superior education of their children. The Brook farm experiment, which was later placed on a Fourier basis, was initiated in 1841, and the Sylvania enterprise, in Pike County, Pennsylvania, in 1843. The plant of the North Amercian Phalanx was established near Red Bank, N. J. Only one-quarter of the capital was paid in, but a big dwelling for the members and their familie
