Title

"Independent" and "Neutral"

Subject

Newspapers

Description

The Statesman editor declares his right and intention to be "independent upon all subjects and neutral upon none," and resists the efforts of some readers to slot him in a partisan [sic] slot.

Certainly more often than note, the editorial position of the Statesman is opposed to many wartime acts of the Lincoln administration in a position easily considered that of the Democratic Party.

Abstract

The Washington Statesman editor publishes a strong editorial, maintaining the political independence of his newspaper.
