Lot Description
[POLITICS]. Republicans of New Hampshire! Look Out for Democratic Roorbacks! [New Hampshire?]: Republican State Committee, [1888].
Visible 14 1/4 x 21 7/8 in. (toned); framed to 15 3/4 x 23 3/8 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by Jacob H. Gallinger and Frank D. Currier Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.
A campaign broadside for Benjamin Harrison's 1888 presidential campaign against incumbent Grover Cleveland. The broadside warns voters against falsehoods spread by Democratic roorbacks, such that "Harrison fought in the Confederate army, or that Blaine foreswore his allegiance to the United States during his recent trip to Europe," referring to James G. Blaine, one of the most important leaders of the Republican party in the late 19th century. Harrison would defeat Cleveland in 1888 but lose re-election to Cleveland four years later.
