THE MANASSAS GAZETTE.
Judge Charles E. Sinclair has assumed the editorship of the Manassas
Gazette, Mr. D. W. Whiting publisher.
Judge S. in his salutatory says: -- "In all respects our editorial
conduct will be independent. We shall be
'devoted to no clique and bound to no master.'
In discussing freely public men and measures, we shall always try to
bear in mind that others are entitled to the same freedom of opinion we claim
for ourselves, and with charity for all, and malice towards none, we hope to
pursue the even tenor of our way in pleasant and mutually profitable relations
with all who take an interest in the success of the Gazette." The Gazette is an excellent paper, and we
wish it and its new editor abundant success.

May 30, 1905 – Richmond Times Dispatch
The Manassas Journal has just entered upon its eleventh
year, and its circulation is now larger than ever before. That is good.
The greater the circulation of a newspaper like the Journal the better
it will be for popular education.
