About this Item

24mo, 48pp., illustrated. Near fine in the publisher's stapled wraps. Very mild creasing, but a niceple-preserved example. Highly ephemeral guide to Republican voters in the 1897-98 Ohio elections (at the state and local levels). After several pages of data relating to party members and voter turnouts in recent elctions, the main text consists of single-page biographies of various important Republcian candidates running for either statewide or Cuyahoga County-area office, with a photographic portrait of each Republican candidate. Of particular note is that of William H. Clifford, an accomplished Cleveland-born African-American civil servant who served in a number of administrative offices, most notably as State Representative in 1894-95 and (soon after the publication of this pamphlet) 1898-99. An ephemeral rarity; we note a single holding at Western Reserve Historical Society, and none in commerce or recent auction records. A great piece of Cleveland political history. We add that this pamphlet likely emerged from the estate of Maurice Maschke, an influential Republican Party boss in the Cleveland, whose name is printed herein as a member of the Executive Committee of the party, when he was just about 30 years of age. His biography (at Case Western's "Encyclopedia of Cleveland History") notes 1897 as the year he became seriously involved in politics. Seller Inventory # 7513

Store Description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
