John Tutchin began "The Observator" in 1702, and it would continue past his death. The paper was shrill in its denunciations of Queen Anne and her Tory ministries. He and Defoe quarreled in their public writings, with Defoe representing a more Puritan stripe of the whig party and Tutchin the more democratic and Cromwellian side, and several authors would mention the two names together (including Alexander Pope, who has Defoe standing above a prostrate Tutchin in "The Dunciad"). The paper was written in dialogue form, where "Observator" or "Mr. Observator" and "Countryman" speak to one another.
