Item Description
3-3/8x7.75" listed as Hake Third Party #3032. Prior to Butler's run in 1884 on the Greenback and Anti Monopoly ticket he ran for Governor of his state on the Greenback ticket, a race he lost. This two sided paper is covered with satirical comments about the worthlessness of paper currency with a small portion of the text reading "All Who Desire A Change Can Vote For B.F. Butler, Who Has Already Changed From Soft To Hard Money, And Back Again, And Whose Election Would CHANGE HIM FROM A CONGRESSMAN INTO A GOVERNOR." Includes very tiny type naming "The Heliotype Printing Co. Boston." Couple of very small and very light tan age marks widely scattered but general appearance remains Exc. Also see Butler items #25-26.
