NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 6, 1883 

* Abolitionist Frederick Douglass
* African Americans - Negroes
* Supporting the Republican Party


Page 5 has "THE INDEPENDENCE OF DOUGLASS - Advising Colored Voters to Stick To The Republican Party" which includes in part: "...I am thought to be an Independent. And so I am, but I am an Independent inside of the Republican Party..." and "...For the life of me I cannot see how any honest colored man, who has brains enough to put two ideas together, can allow himself, under the notion of independence, to give aid and comfort to the Democratic party in Ohio, or elsewhere..." with more. The letter is signed by him in the: Frederick Douglass.
Eight pages, lightly toned with some foxing at front page folds, partially loose at the spine from disbinding. General good condition but a bit of fragility means it should be handled carefully.
