Smaller brown spots are present elsewhere. The Seal of the State of Maine is in the upper right hand corner. On the reverse side of the document is the signature of Lieut. Elisha Morton. In addition on the reverse side of the document is that day's equivalent of an appearance before a notary public and taking the oaths required by the Constitution of this State. This document has been in my possession since the 1940's. It was acquired from Forrest L. Morton who had no children to pass it on to. About 15 or so years ago this document was taken to a book-binder preserver and a fee of around $100.00 was paid to further preserve the paper document. It would need to be shipped in a round tubed container. I do not at this time have the ability to put out pictures. If one has serious interest in purchasing but has further questions please call me on my phone listed on my Abe webpage. State of Maine paperback

ALS Maine House Member M.M. Rawson Reports to Gubernatorial Candidate on Corruption in the Vote for Governor

185545251Augusta House Augusta ME 1855. Very good folded small tear to one edge minor soiling and ink bleed through. 3 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10 inches. Letter dated January 4th 1855 one day after the Maine elections from Maubec Mitchell Rawson newly elected Whig member of the Maine House of Representatives to fellow Whig party member and candidate for Governor Isaac Reed reporting on the efforts to fix the vote in favor of Reed's opponent Anson Morrill. Rawson had been appointed as a member of a gubernatorial committee that morning so was privy to the shenanigans: "Much talk is made about the course which some members of the Senate & House wish to pursue. I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one." He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone. I shall be glad when this session shall close." Anson Morrill 1803-1887 was elected Maine's Governor in 1855 and served until 1856. He had been a candidate under the Know Nothing and then Republican parties. John F. Milliken however was not among the list of Representatives in 1855 but seems to have gotten himself appointed Postmaster in his hometown. Isaac Reed 1809-1887 was a merchant and shipbuilder. He served in the Maine Senate 1839-1840; 1850 1863; the Maine House of Representatives 1842-1843; 1846; 1870-1871; as State Treasurer 1856; and in the U.S. House of Representatives 1852-1853. Maubec Mitchell Rawson b. 1825 was from Waldoboro Maine. unknown
