Broadside 'Extra' predicts the re-election of Abraham Lincoln...



Item # 681907

November 08, 1864

SPRINGFIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN -- EXTRA, Mass., Nov. 8, 1864  

* Abraham Lincoln election victory prediction
* Very rare broadside edition (EXTRA)


A wonderful broadside Extra (printed on one side only) with the first two column containing various election reports. 
The first notes: "Victory Coming!" with the text noting in part: "The returns are all one way. The majorities for Lincoln in Mass. are altogether beyond expectation or president. Doubtful cities & districts give majorities of hundreds & thousands for the republican candidates. It will be the same everywhere. We entertain no doubt of the triumphant re-election of President Lincoln..." with more.
By the name of this newspaper, this was obviously a republican paper.
Complete as a single sheet issue, completely blank on the reverse, very nice condition.
