Additional Details

An anti-Cleveland election pamphlet, highlighting his veto as New York governor of a food purity bill. The first page is illustrated with a skull and crossbones, the center pages are cartoons of a family poisoned by adulterated food and drugs, and the last page is a satirical endorsement of Cleveland by the Grave-Diggers' Union, illustrated with a hearse. We trace no other copies at auction or in OCLC. It is accompanied by a related 9 October letter from J.S. Goldsmith of the Republican National Committee, requesting a check for "what would be a just compensation" for the "Cartoon, 7 series, Adulteration" and other cartoons.
