Complete issue of the New-York Tribune from November 7, 1864, 15.25 x 20, eight pages, featuring national and local election coverage, plus updates on the ongoing Civil War. The first page boasts the text of General Benjamin F. Butler's "General Orders No. 1," guaranteeing a "free and peaceful election." Page four lists the "Union Ticket" ballot for New York, with Abraham Lincoln for president and Andrew Johnson for Vice President. Other columns report fraudulent votes, the "Defeat of Hood," and political sermons by the likes of William H. Boole and Henry Ward Beecher. In very good to fine condition, with small tears and losses to edges.
The Collection of Dr. Joseph Matheu.
