The pamphlet is a window on early Post-Reconstruction political terrorism and instability in the Deep South. To defeat Republicans, Alabama Democrats found it "necessary to inaugurate a reign of terror throughout the entire interior of the State." Prominent Republicans were assaulted and even assassinated. Fraudulent election returns, ballot stuffing, and other chicanery contributed to Democratic electoral success. The pamphlet is signed in type at the end by Charles W. Buckley, Paul Strobach, and George Turner, of the Republican State Executive Committee. It is dated August 1880.
