== Biography ==
Kelley was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, January 11, 1831. At the age of ten years he was sent to Newport, New Hampshire, to attend a preparatory school before entering Dartmouth College. Disliking the rigid discipline enforced at the preparatory school, he ran away. He had no money nor acquaintance in New Hampshire, but managed to reach Lowell, Massachusetts, where he went to work on the ''Advertiser''. Knowing that if discovered by his parents he would be obliged to return to the preparatory school, he did not communicate with them for a period of five years, during which time he remained steadily at his post at the ''Advertiser'', learning all the details of the printing business. When he learned that his family had moved to Missouri, he joined them there in 1848, and for four years was employed as salesman in a mercantile house.
In 1852 Kelley started a Democratic newspaper at Liberty, Missouri, called the ''Democratic Platform'', and continued its publication until the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, when he discontinued the ''Platform'' and established a pro-slavery paper in Atchinson, Kansas called the ''Squatter Sovereign''. Dr. J. H. Stringfellow joined Kelley in this venture as partner and associate editor. This was in 1855, during the intense excitement attending the settlement of Kansas and Nebraska. The paper was the leading organ of the Democracy, and took ultra Southern grounds. Concerning his experience at the time, Kelley said: "There was no such thing as concession at the time. We were all extremists, whether advocating or opposing slavery. During my editorial life I was in constant strife with political opponents."
