4/ As I said in my piece, the legacy of the paper will live on in that it will be an immensely valuable source for historians of County Monaghan and south Ulster in various periods of history from 1839 to 2025.

3/ I will try to get my hands on a physical copy of the last ever Standard today. For anyone not around County Monaghan this week, a digital copy of the final issue can be purchased here: subscriber.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/subscribe.as...

2/ Growing up in rural County Monaghan, it was a weekly ritual in our house to buy the both 'the Standard and the Journal' (the latter being the Irish Farmers Journal) every Thursday. When I moved to Dublin and was too busy to come home for the weekend, the digital paper was a valuable resource.

3/ Charles Gavan Duffy, on p. 41 of the first volume of his My life in two hemispheres (New York, 1898) noted that when the ill Arthur Wellington Holmes asked him to guest edit the Standard, he selected the 'local Orange news' from the latest papers. Something the extract from today's paper omits!

2/ I argued that the Standard was founded to act as a vehicle of politicisation to craft an identity based on Ulster as a Protestant territory. Many of its early editorials stressed the need of Protestants in Counties Monaghan, Armagh and Cavan to defend Ulster from O'Connellism

2/ See his @ausdictionarybiog.bsky.social profile here: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/gr.... I'm interested in exploring in future if James and other Protestant and Catholic convicts or settlers in Australia brought with them any identity associated with Ulster and if this affected their politics.

1/ Indeed. Charles Gavan Duffy declared that there was 'generally an idle, ignorant, half-bred cub in every village in Ulster who looks up to Sam Gray as his role model’ (The Nation, 6 May 1843). His son James, a member of the Tasmanian Parliament named his home 'Ulster Lodge'.
