Original printed wrappers, stitched, 8pp. Wraps separated from text block, Very Good. McClernand was a contemporary of Lincoln's in Illinois. A Democratic Congressman, he was an ally of another Illinois politician, Stephen A. Douglas. As a Civil War general, a rank he gained largely through political maneuvering, he was considered incompetent and relieved of command in June 1863. But he remained an influential Illinois Democrat after the War, and here campaigns for the 1884 Democratic Presidential Ticket. Calling himself "a democrat of the old school-- one of the old guard," he denounces Republican corruption and calls Cleveland "the Aeneas to bear the infirm Anchises from the flames of burning Troy."
