The paper strongly opposed Confederation in 1865 but supported it by 1869. In the 1870's the paper did not receive patronage from the Bennett administration and supported Carter and Ambrose Shea, who represented the Harbour Grace district in the House of Assembly. The paper supported the railway and Whiteway's first administration. The Standard took the Protestant side in the aftermath of the 1883 Harbour Grace affray and supported Thorburn in 1885. The Standard was published until 1936 when it folded due to economic reasons. Holdings: These records were transcribed by BONNIE HICKEY September 2002.

| Died | Death of a Religious - On Monday morning last, about 2 1/2 o'clock, Sister M. Gertrude WADDEN, of the order of Presentation nuns, expired at the Convent of St. Patrick's, River Head, St. John's. The deceased lady was a native of Wexford, Ireland, but from her childhood has been living in St. John's. She closed her young life at the early age of 25 years, 9 of which she passed in the cloister of Holy Religion. Her Religious career was marked by those quiet and silent acts of virtue and piety which, though unchronicled on the pages of this world's annals, are registered above in that Great Book which shall be opened on the Last Day in which, "All things are contained." Of her it may be well said consummata in brevi explevit tempora multa. | |
