The Evening Telegram, started by the son of the Herald’s publisher, was considered to be an evening edition of the Herald. According to King’s Handbook of New York, “It is independent in politics; having no other purpose than to give the news of the day, which it does, in a most piquant manner.” It did not print a Sunday edition.
