In 1882 he founded the Archbald Truth; and subsequently moved to Scranton, Pa., where a wider field was to be obtained; and continued the publication under the name of The Scranton Truth, an independent daily newspaper, which has achieved remarkable success in winning a national reputation, and conceded to be the leading paper in the Keystone state.
