St. Louis Republic
The St. Louis Republic was a morning newspaper, based in St. Louis, Missouri. It was established in 1808 as the "Missouri Gazette" by Joseph Charless, an Irish immigrant. In 1820 the paper was renamed the "Missouri Republican", eventually becoming known as the "St. Louis Republic" in 1888. After supporting the Whig Party, the paper became aligned with the Democratic Party. In the late 19th century, the "Republic" had the second largest circulation in St. Louis, surpassing papers that would survive it, such as the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" and the "St. Louis Star-Times". Its final owner was David R. Francis, a prominent political figure. In 1919, after years of losses, Francis sold the "Republic" to the "St. Louis Globe-Democrat", a longtime rival paper supportive of the Republican Party, which closed it.

The "St. Louis Republic" is archived at the St. Louis Public Library and is part of the Library of Congress's Chronicling America collection.
