THE “STATESMAN” THE “HERALD” Yonkers Statesman Two weeklies, The Examiner and The Clarion, were merged into a daily, under the name of The Statesmen, and in 1872 John W. Oliver assumed the editorship. It is the foremost paper in Westchester County, and though a sterling Republican journal on National and State issues, its policy has been to support such candidates for municipal and county offices as were best qualified to administer the same. It is enterprising, cleanly edited, proud of its distinction of being “a newspaper, not merely an organ;” and is in every respect “a journal for the home.” The paper is still under the guiding hand of this veteran journalist, assisted by his son, Edwin A. Oliver, and J. Joseph Lawrence. It is comfortably housed in a new building erected by the management at the corner of Main and Mill Streets, in the heart of the commercial section of the city. Yonkers Herald The YYonkers Herald was published as early as 1853, but it was not until 1894 that the present Yonkers Herald Publishing Company secured control and placed it, for the first time, on a sound financial and business basis. It was first published at 63 Main Street as a morning daily, but on May, 1894, it was changed to an afternoon paper, and in August of that year the plant was removed to its present substantial and commodious building, 10 Warburton Avenue. The structure was built for it and is admirably adapted to all the requirements of a modern newspaper office. The editor of the paper is Frank F. Xavier, the business manager being Augustine P. Xavier. The Herald is the official Democratic paper.
