20 IN AND OUT OF ITHACA. 



The Ithaca Democrat traces its lineage to the Ithaca 

 Chronicle, established in 1820 by D. D. Spencer. The 

 Chronicle, like the Jotiryial, experienced many vicissi- 

 tudes of ownership and name, but finally settled down 

 to be called the Democrat in 1867. In 1884, the Daily 

 Democrat made its appearance, and was successful in its 

 object of offering democratic opposition to the republi- 

 can influence of the Daily Journal. It was discontin- 

 ued shortly after the elections. 



Rumsey s Companion, established at Dryden in 1856, 

 was the progenitor of the Weekly Ithacan. After many 

 vicissitudes the paper was removed to Ithaca in 1871. 

 It is devoted to local interests, temperance, and green- 

 backs. 



The Ithaca Republican was established as a weekly 

 paper in 1885. It has been so successful as to warrant 

 its advance to a tri- weekly, and though youngest of 

 Ithaca's journals, has already taken its share of patron- 

 age and influence.
