Republican campaign document of 1880 argues against the Democratic Party which it feels will give undue influence again to the South. Statistics are marshaled to show how little economic power the South has and how little it spends on education. "That the South should have her fair proportion of influence in the councils of the Nation, no patriotic or fair-minded man will deny; that she should have a prepondering, or even undue influence, in the councils of the Nation, no patriotic or sensible man should admit." But nevertheless, it did happen. OCLC lists copies with No. 36 and No. 86 at the head of the title.
