Indianapolis Journal
The ''Indianapolis Journal'' was a newspaper published in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper published daily editions every evening except on Sundays, when it published a morning edition. The first issue of the then-named ''Indiana Journal'' was published on January 11, 1825, by partners John Douglass and Douglass Maguire. From the outset the paper advocated for government sponsored internal improvements and protective tariffs that would aid Indiana’s agricultural economy. These positions led the ''Journal'' to align with the Whig Party beginning in the mid-1830s. Purchased in 1845 by John D. Defrees, and operated by him for nearly a decade, the paper was the first in Indianapolis to install a steam driven printing press. Under his leadership, the paper became Indianapolis's first permanent daily, the ''Daily Indiana State Journal'' in April 1851. The title changed to ''Indianapolis Morning Journal'' in 1853, then to ''Indianapo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Its editors included Charles A. Dana and Byron Andrews. History Founding The history of the ''Inter Ocean'' can be traced back to 1865 with the founding of the ''Chicago Republican'', a partisan newspaper that supported the Republican party.

People From Madison, Indiana
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
