Folio broadside, 6" x 12". Boldly printed on yellow paper using different sized fonts and styles. Lightly dusted, light creasing, single small pinhole. Very Good. Ohio's election for Governor occurred four days earlier, on October 14. The Republican candidate, Charles Foster, defeated Democrat Thomas Ewing Jr. The Republican underticket also performed well. This "Jollification," a common contemporary term for a celebration, occurred at Cincinnati's Turner Hall. Speeches, music, and festivities marked the occasion. The reference to "Marching Through Georgia" recalls, of course, General Sherman's historic 1864 campaign that contributed to Abraham Lincoln's presidential victory. Capt. M[organ] S[imon] Shaw [1839-1891], an Ohio native, served with the Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry from his enlistment on June 19, 1861, through his discharge on December 27, 1864. He advanced from Private to Captain during his service. He was President of the Twenty-Fifth Ward Sherman Club at the time of this event. [Military records accessed at website of Fold3; Cincinnati Daily Star, October 6, 17, 18, & 20, 1879; Mar. 15, 1880; USFC 1870, 1880.] Not located on OCLC or the online sites of AAS, Ohio State U, Boston Athenaeum, Yale, U TX as of November 2024.
