Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 59, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 March 1898 — A New Paper for Remington. [ARTICLE]

A New Paper for Remington.

O. W. Dingman, an evidently bright and hustling young man lately from Centerville, South Dakota, came from Remington today, to take the train for Chicago, where he will buy a printing outfit, preparatory to starting a Republican paper in Remington. He had been negotiating for the Remington Press, and claims that after he arrived there the proprietor of that sheet raised the previously quoted price by about S6OO. Mr. Dingman then canvassed the business men of the town and found a hearty encouragement so that he forthwith resolved to establish a new paper there. The Press, while always pretending to be a neutral paper, has constantly, but especially during the political campaigns, sought, more or less openly, to assist and encourage the opposition to the Republicans, sometimes being populistic in its evident sympathies and sometimes democratic. The Republicans of Remington and Carpenter township have observed this course upon the part of the Press and they resent it much more than they would had the Press come out in its true colors and boldly and openly advocated its demo-populistic principles
