- Description:
- Item appears to be a satire on the women's rights movement. Several phrasings within the text suggest this interpretation, e.g., (1) the date of meeting is August 32, 1878
(2) we nominate a new ticket ... thereby giving our old maids a better chance
(3) Bring your wives. If you have not got any, bring your neighbor's. Supposed running mates Beecher and Tilton had been involved in an adultery lawsuit in 1874. Item may have originated in Castile, Wyoming County, New York. Item voices opposition to the candidacies of Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden. - Cite As:
