The Whig aims to be a national 1876 paper in Quincy
The Whig of Quincy Illinois announces itself as a refined modern newspaper with telegraphic reporting from the Associated Press and special telegrams.

It notes currency issues and Republican strategy as central to forthcoming political fights, and reports on a Chicago whiskey ring and District Attorney Ward’s removal, with high expectations for investigative exposure.
