About

The Democratic Standard published its first number on July 4, 1837, at Georgetown, the seat of Brown County, located just north of the Ohio River in rural southwest Ohio. The paper supported Democratic interests and had a number of publishers during its short run, including Amos Derrough and Francis Allen. In 1840, after a seven-month hiatus in publication, David P. Palmer became editor and publisher, with future Union Army officer August Valentine Kautz serving as his typesetter until 1844. The paper’s motto read “Devoted to the Support of the Constitution and Laws—the Diffusion of General Intelligence—and the Reform of All Political Abuses.”
