1872réf. 38915Hartford 1872. Broadside 6" x 9-1/2" text surrounded by mourning border. A few spots Very Good. Illustrations of two steamers. At the bottom: "This is Good for ONE PASSAGE Only. - H.G." Dated at Hartford November 5 1872. "Salt River" is 19th century American slang: a losing candidate for office was taking a trip "up Salt River." Tickets for passage "up Salt River" were frequently printed to mock supporters of losing candidates. This humorous scarce broadside taunts Horace Greeley and other defectors from the Republican Party for their support of Greeley in 1872. "On the overwhelming defeat of the Liberal Republican Party and its candidate Horace Greeley in the presidential election of 1872. Greeley had been nominated at a Liberal Republican convention at Cincinnati in May and at the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore in July 1872" AAS description. Pall bearers include Charles Sumner and General Banks prominent Republican supporters of Greeley. OCLC 191231113 2- AAS Middlebury 47090036 1- CT Hist. Soc. as of August 2025. unknown books
1863réf. 53688Winchester 1863. Running for State Office in Confederate Tennessee An exceedingly rare Confederate Tennessee state election ticket from 1863 nominating Robert L. Caruthers for governor and eleven others as state senators. In 1863 state elections were due in Tennessee. The state was fractured by war and secession and both Unionists and Confederates expressed the desire to hold elections for state government. Confederate supporters held a convention in Winchester and nominated a governor the State Legislature and members for the Confederate Congress. It was a bit of a fool's errand. Isham G. Harris who still considered himself the governor of Tennessee issued a proclamation calling for the election to be held on the first Thursday in August. Just who voted and how many or how few will probably never be known. According to historians the State Archives in Nashville are scant and inconclusive; returns from only thirty-two counties are found some of which reported the vote of only one civil district. Not a single report was from West Tennessee counties and only eight Middle Tennessee counties made returns. Robert L. Caruthers was elected governor on the face of returns but he was never inaugurated and thus never served a day as governor of Tennessee. No Confederate State Legislature ever convened either. The Confederate Congressmen were the only lucky ones. Those who were elected in 1863 took their seats in Richmond however briefly. George Webb notes this copy in his NOT IN ALLEN bibliography in 2013. Not in Parrish & Willingham. The only other copy or shall we say copies resides at the Library of Virginia in an uncut sheet of six tickets. This will likely be the only copy ever available in the marketplace. Toned minor soiling and wrinkling. Very good. WEBB NOT IN ALLEN 199 this copy. unknown

1807réf. 42326London: Pubd May 1807 by Walker No. 7 Cornhill 1807. Broadside 9-5/8" x 13-1/2". Hand-colored satirical etching. Minimal edgewear with the bottom left blank corner chipped minor toning and dustsoiling. Very Good. The scene is Covent Garden a satire of the 1807 Westminster election. A rowdy political gathering with crowds of spectators and in the foreground the "Wimbledon Showman" stands to the right holding a stilt with his right hand representing John Horne Tooke a radical British politician and philologist who lived in Wimbledon. The "Puppet" to the left balancing on the stilt inscribed "Divisions of Purley" is Sir Francis Burdett a wealthy radical politician running for Parliament. Burdett shouts "Huzza - Liberty and Independence!!!" Tooke acts as the puppet master steering the election and looks sideways towards the spectator saying "The finest puppet in the world Gentlemen - entirely of my own formation I have only to say the word and he'll do anything." He holds his hat in his left hand and a letter sticking out of his coat pocket reads "To the Editor of the Times" a reference to his actual letter to the Times in 1807 which went on to be printed in London by Wood and Innes highlighting the heavy media manipulation surrounding the early 19th-century British elections. Burdett balancing atop the stilt symbolizes that his political platform is precarious and supported entirely by Tooke's orchestration. The print satirizes the 1807 Westminster election. George M.

Salisbury Printed and Sold by E. Easton 1772. 52pp 2 ads. Quarto. Handsomely bound by C. W. Rose in recent half morocco marbled boards gilt T.E.G. decorated endpapers. Very minor wear to extremities. Sporadic browning occasional ink annotations to margins and text sympathetic repair of tear to title of second work. Tables of eligible electors and their respective votes for the Wiltshire county poll of 1772 between candidates Ambrose Goddard and Henry Herbert. The latter polled well on the August 18th opening only to rapidly lose the majority over the next four days as Goddard's supporters rolled in to secure superiority of over two votes to one. When the poll closed it was said that Goddard had a substantial number of voters left. Given that half of Herbert's supporters polled on day one when no oath had been taken the likelihood is that Goddard's victory was even more decisive than the final count suggests.
