TILLY'S THE MAN! 1872 Canadian Political Election Broadside Samuel Leonard Tilley St. John New Brunswick
Published by St. John, NB, 1872
Seller: The Odd Book (ABAC, ILAB), Wolfville, NS, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Broadside leaf. Condition: Good. Scarce broadside of Byron DeWolfe, St. John New Brunswick, August 8th, 1872: Election day for a member to represent the City of St. John in the next Dominion Parliament. TILLY'S THE MAN! 15 stanzas of eight lines supporting the Hon. S. L. Tilley. A glimpse into rally rhetoric on behalf of one of the Fathers of Confederation. Apparently printed just after the election results were released. Midway we read: " One Jeremiah Travis / Last Saturday I heard, / With Patriotic Ardor / How his great soul was stirred! / Then he was nominated / With candidates to be; / And voters were astonished / On hearing there were three! / But that was all deception! / A scheme! a trick !! A sham!!! / The author of such humbug / Can be no "snow-white lamb!!!" / And now I'm of opinion / With you my good friends each, / That he got nominated / To make DeVeber's speech!" Sheet measures 29 x 17.5 cm [11.5 x 6.8 inches]. Chipping to edges, with evidence of original folding creases: one vertical and three horizontal. Unprofessionally backed some time ago with brown paper that has served to stabilize the otherwise fragile document. Broadside [blank on verso] peeling from backing in places along the fore-edge.
