SECOND 1876 "WINDY CITY"
...
As expected, the 1893 Charles Dana "Windy City Myth," told by the Chicago

apologized to a dead cow.

I just double-checked. ProQuest added 1876, and there it is again, in a
story that also happens to be from the Cincinnati Enquirer!

The _Cincinnati Enquirer_, in common with other papers, has been  waiting
with great anxiety for the fulfillment of its prophecy: that the  Chicago papers
would call the Whites hard names when they lost. Witness  these scraps the day
after the Whites lost to the Athletics:
...
There comes a wail to us from the Windy City. People up there are  disgusted
with their pet White Legs. Louisville is disgusted, too, with  its club. (...)
