[Straight Democracy, November 6, 1888]

This item is from the Charles B. Moore Collection. It is a political broadside. In this document, members of political parties are identified as participating in unbecoming behavior. The identified members of the Straight Democrat party are noted to have been electioneering with African American voters. This supposed electioneering took place somewhere near the fair grounds. Supper, free whiskey, and music by the Greenville String Band were provided for the attendees of this event. Members of the Ringtail party were also identified in this broadside as participating in this political happening. The throwaway described this event as drunken debauchery. The stated objective was to halt the practice of electioneering and the political influencing which occurs at events like these.

The author is sorry that they do not have any news other than the constant rain. Jack goes to Mr. Turner's everyday and Jack sold his blind horse. Hlora Wallace got married. The Professor gave her glass fruit. Jack took pictures and she was not pleased with them. Although she is going to send a picture to Moore anyway. She asks when he will come to visit.
