Ohio Enquirer:

THE ENQUIRER MANUAL AND POLITICAL REGISTER FOR 1867.

Cincinnati: Enquirer Buildings, 247 Vine Street, 1867. Original printed wrappers. 120pp. Full-page portrait of George Pendleton, Ohio Copperhead and McClellan's running mate in the 1864 presidential election; many advertisements from local merchants, some illustrated. Wraps lightly spotted and worn, else Very Good. Contemporary signature, 'H. [?] Swearengen', on front wrapper.

A Democratic publication's effort to turn the tide against Republican domination of Reconstruction. Its 'History of the Last Five Years' denounces Republican military rule and Reconstruction Military Governments. "What a terrible chapter in American history." This is the rare first publication of an Ohio Democratic annual.
Much political information is printed: election statistics in all the States, popular votes for the presidency over the previous thirty years, a breakdown of votes by towns and cities. We do not locate this Register on OCLC, which records only an 1869 printing at the Western Reserve Historical Society.
