WRIGHT, William, journalist, born in Ireland in 1824 died in Paterson, New Jersey, 13 March, 1866. He came to this country about 1841 and settled near Paterson, New Jersey, where he engaged in teaching. In 1854 he founded in that town "The Press," a Republican journal, he took an active part in the canvass for the presidency in 1856, advocating the election of John C. Fremont, and chiefly through his exertions Paterson for the first time "in its history gave a majority against the Democratic party. In 1858 he was interested in a paper called the " Republican," afterward merged into the " Daily Guardian." In 1860 Mr. Wright removed to New York, where he was connected with the " Evening Post" and the "Commercial Advertiser" and contributed to other journals" but in 1864 he returned to Paterson and engaged in journalism there. Shortly before his death he established the " Monthly Review." he published "The oil Regions of Pennsylvania, showing where Petroleum is Found, how it is obtained, and at what Cost, with hints for Whom it may Concern" (New York, 1865).
