Chas. O'Conor
Printed New Hampshire "Democratic Ticket / Straight Out...For President Charles O'Conor of New York / For Vice-President John Quincy Adams..." Features bold engraved vignette with federal eagle holding a shield imprinted "Constitution and Union" among symbols of agriculture and industry. Accompanied by a clipped "Ch. O'Connor." After the 1872 Democratic Party's Convention in Baltimore a splinter group remained and refused to endorse the Greeley ticket. These malcontents, in turn, held their own subsequent convention at Louisville, Kentucky on September 7th, 1872 and nominated O'Connor and Adams. Though both declined, tickets such as this one where still put up in a number of states.
