Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

Presidential History Ulysses S. Grant Middlesex Club Complimentary Dinner During the 1880 Republican Campaign

1880rif. 104971880. Middlesex Club. Complimentary Dinner to Gen. U.S. Grant 1880 records a Boston Republican gathering honoring Ulysses S. Grant four months after his unsuccessful attempt to secure the Republican presidential nomination for an unprecedented third term. Grant had returned to the United States in December 1879 after more than two years of international travel and entered the 1880 Republican convention as a leading candidate. He received 304 votes on the first ballot and remained near that total through thirty six ballots before James A. Garfield emerged as the nominee receiving 399 votes on the final ballot. The October dinner therefore belongs to the closing weeks of the 1880 presidential campaign rather than to Grant's nomination effort itself. Complimentary Dinner to Gen. U.S. Grant by the Middlesex Club at the Brunswick Boston Oct. 13 1880. Middlesex Club. Boston 1880. 11 x 17 inches. Printed seating chart identifying the dinner attendees and assigning their positions at the tables preserving the names and physical arrangement of participants at the event. Rather than simply announcing the dinner the chart records the composition of a political gathering organized around the former president during a presidential election in which Grant's continued standing within the Republican Party remained conspicuous despite his defeat at the national convention. Held less than three weeks before the November 2 presidential election the dinner documents Grant's public prominence during the campaign that elected Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. The named seating assignments permit study of the individuals gathered around Grant in Boston and may support further investigation of Republican political networks in Massachusetts during the 1880 election. Excellent condition. A substantive piece of Grant and Republican Party ephemera that preserves the personnel and seating organization of a precisely dated political dinner. unknown
