Anti-Federalist
Please read this article and see what Anti-Federalist means: Opponent of the Constitution as such. Madison was never an Anti-Federalist; nor was Freneau of New Jersey, and the remnants of that lost cause were insufficient to support a paper by 1791.

We have already been over this, and I am fine with using Democratic-Republican we can leave it at that, it's a perfectly fine term. Please, relax, and try to be civil and courteous. Incidentally, that Anti-Federalist article you cite as evidence for what you said actually notes (right at in the intro) that the term referred to two different things. It doesn't support your claim that the movement of the Anti-Federalist article's second definition of the term was by any means defunct in 1791. It does indicate that the movement and party (D-R) which would coalesce from it had initial name issues. The D-R party wasn't actually officially created until 1792: mid-life of the National Gazette.

Main Infoox
If anyone who is good with infoboxes is willing to make a new one one for this article, it would be great. I used the newspaper template, it mostly works, but the newspaper template contains mandatory terms for things that apply only tenuously to such a long-defunct newspaper as this, like 'headquarters', and things that don't at all, like 'website'. You can't seem to get rid of these fields for this template unless they agree to make them optional on the newspaper template page. I found the site that shows you how to make them from scratch, but if anyone is handy, please take a swing at it. Otherwise, I'll try it myself eventually. Thanks a lot.
