1880réf. 40342New York: Copyright by Geo. H. Hanks 1880. Metamorphic card 3-1/4" x 5-3/8" fully opened. Richly colored light wear Very Good. The unopened illustration depicts a dignified serious Hancock as a rooster in elaborate feathers. But when opened Hancock has lost his feathers is emaciated and bleeding from the mouth. The caption reads "November 2nd. 1880 Hancock Hancock Boo-Hoo-Hoo." Winfield Scott Hancock a decorated Civil War general and a hero of Gettysburg was the losing Democrats' presidential candidate in 1880 opposing Republican James A. Garfield. The verso entitled 'Rhymes for Young Democrats' brilliantly skewers the overt racism of the Democratic Party. It begins: "Sing a song of shotguns Pocket full of knives Four-and- twenty black men Running for their lives; When the polls are open Shut the nigger's mouth Isn't that a bully way To make a solid South" OCLC 32320004 1- Brown as of August 2024.

1877réf. 5770N.p. likely Springfield Il: ca. January 8 1877. Good. Three long galley leaves each approximately 6.5 x 19 inches and printed on rectos only with numerous pencil emendations. Old folds and creases numerous chips and tears to margins pervasive wrinkling making reading a bit challenging at times but with no loss to text. Small portion of third leaf containing the last eight lines of text detached but present. Not in great shape but seemingly unique. A galley proof of a speech by General John A. McClernand in the midst of the contentious Election of 1876 which was so far as we can determine neither delivered nor published. A pencil note at top reveals his authorship and notes the speech was intended to be delivered January 8 at the “Great Citizens Convention” in Springfield Illinois almost certainly in 1877 following the recent election in the Fall of 1876. McClernand was an Illinois contemporary of Lincoln's a Democratic Congressman and War Democrat. He was also an ally of another Illinois politician and Lincoln adversary Stephen A. Douglas. He was appointed a general during the Civil War largely through political maneuvering and was generally considered incompetent. McClernand greatly resented the authority of Grant who finally relieved him of command in June 1863. Following the war McClernand became a leading critic of Congressional Reconstruction as well as the Grant Administration in general. He also chaired the 1876 Democratic National Convention which nominated Tilden for the presidency. Here McClernand bitterly attacks Grant his presidential Administration and Reconstruction. According to McClernand Grant's "tastes and habits had been acquired in the field and the camp -- in implicit obedience or absolute command. He knew no other rule of action but the military law and army regulations. As a consequence he has lamentably failed as a civil administrator." As President fraudulently and illegally Grant "joined with Kellog a political adventurer and Durell a federal judge to overthrow the will of the people of Louisiana." Law and order says McClernand "lay prostrate and panting at the feet of her remorseless tyrants." McClernand also assails Grant's highhanded tactics in the other Southern States. Now says McClernand "the president and his accomplices have now applied themselves to defeat the will of the people by a parliamentary device. They claimed for the President of the Senate the right and power to count the electoral votes and to declare the result and by implication that that right and power would be so exercised as to count Tilden out of his election and to count Hayes into one." He wasn't wrong. In one of the closest most hotly-contested and highly-controversial elections in American history to put it simply Hayes effectively stole the election by agreeing to remove northern soldiers from the South and end Reconstruction. It would be interesting to know what McClernand thought of the ultimate result -- he didn't get Tilden but he did get the end of Reconstruction. "Yet another prominent Illinoian who played a role in the Civil War John Alexander McClernand was born in Breckinridge County Kentucky before moving to Shawneetown Illinois at a young age. Similar to fellow Illinoian Abraham Lincoln McClernand was a largely self-taught lawyer who began practicing in Shawneetown in 1835. Also like Lincoln McClernand served in the Black Hawk War. However McClernand was a staunch Democrat. In 1835 he established the newspaper Shawneetown Democrat. He was active in Democratic politics at both the state and federal level serving in the Illinois House of Representatives and eventually Congress. In Congress McClernand was a stalwart Jacksonian Democrat who strongly disliked abolitionists. He strongly opposed the Wilmot Proviso which banned slavery in the territory gained after the Mexican-American War. He became a key ally of fellow Democrat and Illinoian Stephen A. Douglas helping him pass the Compromise of 1850. As tensions rose approaching the election of 1860 McClernand campaigned for Douglas’s presidency and became a Unionist. After war broke out in the following April McClernand helped raise volunteers for the Union Army. Because Lincoln needed to retain a wide base of support and retain connections with Democrats in Illinois he appointed McClernand a brigadier general on May 17 1861. McClernand’s military career would be defined by an ongoing clash with fellow Illinoian General Ulysses S. Grant. Grant a seasoned West Pointer who served in Mexico was irritated by McClernand a political general with little military experience. Further exacerbating relations was McClernand’s tendency to boast about his exploits and diminish the achievements of other commanders" - American Battlefield Trust's entry on John A. McClernand. ca.

1856réf. 18521Indianapolis 1856. 16pp disbound. Scattered foxing. Good. A Democratic presidential campaign pamphlet. It charges that during the brief time that Fremont "the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency" was a U.S. Senator his votes-- opposing the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia-- showed him "to be a most ultra pro-slavery man." The hypocritical Republicans "use the language of patriotism and of love for the Union.whilst their votes their acts and their organization lead only to a dissolution and all the evils that must follow." The Know-Nothings are just as bad: they "have waged a cruel and relentless war upon foreigners and members of the Roman Catholic church. These classes have been proscribed." Moreover "Abolitionism and Know-nothingism were allies." FIRST EDITION. LCP 3837. 112 Eberstadt 150d. Not in Sabin Decker Miles. 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.

An anonymous handbill decrying lynching in the United States and advertising the differences in anti-lynching policy between the Republican and Democratic parties.

The right column points out that the Democratic platform and its nominees James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt all “said: NOTHING!” on this issue. Lynching would not be made a federal hate crime until 2022 nearly 100 years later. As of writing we find no other copies of this handbill in OCLC. unknown books
