THE ENQUIRER MANUAL AND POLITICAL REGISTER FOR 1871.

Cincinnati: Enquirer Buildings, 247 Vine Street, 1871. Original printed wrappers [bit of wear to inner margin of front wrap] with wrapper title [as issued]. 118pp. Stitched. Very Good plus.

The fourth annual of this Democratic periodical's effort to become "indispensable to every Democrat who pays attention to political events." Its rival, the New York Tribune Almanac, "is full of obnoxious political matter." Reconstruction politics was a grudge fight; the Enquirer Manual is delighted that Deep South States are being "redeemed from Republican control," and that "the immense negro vote" will soon be outdone by the return of "the disfranchised voters" to the polls.
This item contains much political information: election statistics in all the States, popular votes for the presidency over the previous thirty years, breaking down votes by towns and cities. In addition, it contains many full-page advertisements, some illustrated, for Cincinnati retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers.
