1860 _Milwaukee Daily Sentinel_ 4 July 1 (19th Century U.S. Newspapers)
We are proud of Milwaukee because she is not overrun with a lazy police
force as is Chicago -- because her morals are better, he [sic] criminals
fewer, her credit better; and her taxes lighter in proportion to her
valuation than Chicago, the windy city of the West.

Today, NewspaperArchive announced that this is now available:

Indeed it is. I just read it. (You must know what you're looking for and go
to the exact newspaper and date.) However, if you use the NewspaperArchive
search engine to search for "windy city" (say, all cites before 1880), this
1860 citation does not come up!
...
I've been using a million different search queries for "hamburger," knowing
how bad NewspaperArchive sucks.

This cite above (pg. 1, col.
5)(_http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewer.aspx?pubdateid=8777697&src=browse_
(http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewer.aspx?pubdateid=8777697&src=browse) ) appears to come from the _La Crosse Union
& Democrat_. Thus, of the two 1860s "Windy City" cites found by Fred (both in
the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel), neither originated in that newspaper.
