The Daily Globe published its first edition in Saint Paul on January 15, 1878. Its founder was Harlan P. Hall, a former editor and publisher of the Saint Paul Dispatch. The Globe was a Democratic newspaper and a competitor of the Dispatch, which had gone from Democratic to Republican when Hall sold it in 1876, and of the Republican Pioneer Press. Starting on January 16, 1878, the Globe became the official newspaper of the city of Saint Paul (where Democrats were a majority) and published all official announcements, continuing in this role for several years. Furthering the competition between newspapers, in the first Sunday paper on January 20, 1878, Hall noted the Globe “has made a new departure in St. Paul journalism by announcing its intention to issue a paper every day of the year.” The Pioneer Press quickly took up the challenge by starting to print a Monday paper, also making the claim of publishing every day of the year. Over time, the Globe also appeared as the St. Paul Daily Globe and the Saint Paul Globe until it ceased publication on April 20, 1905.
In addition to covering events in Saint Paul, the Globe printed news from Minneapolis (for a time called “Minneapolis Globules”) and from other nearby cities. It also provided state, regional, national, and telegraphic news, fiction, and baseball scores and other sports coverage. A transition of format in 1887 led to advertising being dropped from the front page, leaving more room for news articles. Advertisements…
