Description: n.p. n.p. 1880. First edition. Self wrappers. 7, [1] pp. 8vo. Republican campaign document of 1880 argues against the Democratic Party which it feels will give undue influence again to the South. Statistics are marshaled to show how little economic power the South has and how little it spends on education. "That the South should have her fair proportion of influence in the councils of the Nation, no patriotic or fair-minded man will deny; that she should have a prepondering, or even undue influence, in the councils of the Nation, no patriotic or sensible man should admit." But nevertheless, it did happen. OCLC lists copies with No. 36 and No. 86 at the head of the title. A good copy, folds, small chips and tears to fore edge, last leaf with large chip to corner not affecting text and copious penciled notes on rear blank.
