Newspaper format, 2 8-page issues. 39 x 55 cm. Disbound (removed from a bound volume). Horizontal crease on both issues where folded. Last leaf detached on Nov. 5 issue. Democrats nominated Horatio Seymour, a former Governor of New York while the Republicans nominated Ulysses Grant, the Northern military hero. The Democrats campaigned as a pro-white, anti-Black party. 78.1% of eligible voters voted with Grant winning decisively in the Electoral College voting (214-80) while getting 52.7% of the popular vote to Seymour's 47.3%. The result was far from a landslide but the outcome was not in doubt. Virginia, Mississippi and Texas had not yet been restored to the Union so those states were not eligible to vote. The Nov. 5 issue noted that the Court of Sessions in Edinburgh (Scotland) on a final appeal had ruled that women were not entitled to vote in that country.
