Note that Charles Amsden was the Democratic candidate for governor 1888 and 1890.  Although this ticket is undated, we know that the election in 1890 was a three-way race that included a candidate of the Prohibition Party.  Hiram Tuttle, a Republican, finished first, and Charles H. Amsden finished second.  But Tuttle did not have a majority, which meant the election had to be decided by the New Hampshire Legislature.  And the Legislature chose Hiram Tuttle.
"Democratic Party Gubernatorial Campaign Ticket" measures approx. 6-7/8" by 4".  The Ballot is labeled "Democratic Ticket."  Below that is a lovely lithograph illustration, which is just full of symbolism.   It shows a shield, on which it states "Constitution and Union."  An American Bald Eagle sits atop the shield.   Behind it in the background are a farm on the left (symbolizing agriculture,)  and a train, factory, and church steeple (representing the city, and industry.) . There are 2 American Flags as well.  Plus in the foreground are a scythe and gear.  This illustration is intended to portray "inclusivism."
Excellent original early family and/or town genealogy, history, antique, collectible heirloom and/or ephemera.
