(Election of 1880) Broadside, 11 3/4 x 18 1/2 in. (sight), “NOTICE! — A Meeting of the Garfield and Arthur Club. OF DOYLESOWN, WILL BE HELD AT THE CLUB ROOM, ON FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 22d, AT 7.30 O’CLOCK. PUNCTUAL ATTENDANCE IS REQUESTED. BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT.” (n.p., likley Ohio, Pennsylvania, [1880].) A simple yet graphic exhortation to attend a political meeting less than two weeks before the election. The Garfield-Arthur ticket prevailed in both Pennsylvania and Ohio in an extremely close election. Overall Garfield won the popular vote by a margin of less than 2000 votes.
Folds, some ink erosion to several letters not detracting greatly, several minor holes toward margins, mild ink transfer toward lower end, else very good. Matted and framed. Not examined out of frame.
