The Fort Worth Gazette succeeded the Fort Worth Daily Gazette when the Daily Gazette‘s sister publication, the Fort Worth Weekly Gazette, was suspended in 1891. The new Fort Worth Gazette assumed the resources of the preceding titles, including the same publisher, the Democrat Publishing Company. Upon the death of its editor Walter Malone in that same year, ownership of the Gazette passed first to the Gazette Company and then to the State Printing Company. Former Daily Gazette editor Buckley B. Paddock recalled that “with [Malone’s] death the paper was doomed.” In 1896, the owners of the Fort Worth Gazette sold its Associated Press franchise and subscription list to The Dallas Morning News, and Fort Worth lost its only daily newspaper without warning.
During its brief lifetime, the Fort Worth Gazette appeared in three distinct editions: a daily (published every day of the year), a Sunday edition, and a weekly. The publishers nominally issued the Sunday edition as a daily, but the Sunday Gazette‘s length and character set it apart from the week’s other issues. Furthermore, for several months in 1895 the second part of the 16-page Sunday Gazette carried a banner reading Illustrated Sunday Gazette or the Sunday Illustrated Fort Worth Gazette. Readers could subscribe to the Sunday edition separately, and its circulation surpassed that of the other dailies.
By 1893, the daily edition numbered between eight and twelve pages, and reached 8,420 people at an annual subscription…
