186528392Philadelphia: King & Baird 1865. 16pp printed in two columns per page. Bound into modern plain wrappers Very Good.<br/><br/> The State Central Committee reminds voters of Democrats' defeatism bordering on treason in the 1864 elections. "Both parties went into the contest with their principles plainly inscribed upon their banners." Despite the utter defeat of the rebellion the Democratic Party continues to denounce Lincoln the Republicans and the War. "The 'Sic Semper Tyrannis' of the ever-to-be-execrated Booth conveys no greater insult to the memory of Abraham Lincoln" than does the message of the Democratic Party. <br/> The Union Committee endorses military reconstruction-- particularly because the South rejected President Johnson's mild policies with "defiance and hostility"-- and assures voters that "negro suffrage and negro equality" are not Union policies despite Democrats' "extraordinary efforts to mislead and deceive their fellow-citizens."<br/>Not in LCP or Sabin.

Tiny Tim ! ". I thought to myself- this is surely a put-on however I'll go see. Sure enough there he was autographing these strange little books. Thought maybe you'd get a kick out of one of them Miss Peggy. After autographing books for awhile he sang "Stout-hearted Man". If this fellow isn't a put-on he's probably one of the world's truly nice-guys. Anyway it made for a fantastic morning. I felt like a little kid standing there watching listening talking and utterly enjoying every minute of it. Have fun with the book. signed Dave ps on verso of letter "Stout-hearted Man" I swear it's true. Even his manager just about broke up when he started singing it."
