Title	Town Hall Suggestions: An Address at the Opening of a New City Hall, Xenia, Ohio
Subject	Presidents and Politics Ohio Government City & town halls
Place	Xenia (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	In 1881, the Xenia City Council resolved to invite newspaper owner and editor Whitelaw Reid to speak at the reopening of its city hall, which doubled as an opera house. The text of his speech, the printed version of which is 44 pages and measures 5.25 by 7 inches (13.34 by 17.78 cm), touches on state and national history and politics. It offers suggestions on how the town hall should be used to "develop a true municipal life." Reid was born in Xenia on October 27, 1837. He graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1856. He then edited the Xenia News. During the Civil War he was a war correspondent. After the war, he joined the New York Tribune, becoming its editor in 1872, and its owner shortly thereafter. He entered political life in 1889, becoming U.S. Minister to France. In 1892, he was President Benjamin Harrsion's running mate in his unsuccessful campaign for re-election. From 1905 until his death in 1912, Reid served as Ambassador to Great Britain.
