Item # 719125

June 12, 1895

THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 12, 1895  Starting on the last column of the front page and taking much of page 2 are a pair of articles which show two methods used to weight regions for political gain in New York City. In this instance, it was Reapportionment (Democrats) vs. Gerrymandering (Republicans). Included are significant details along with a map showing the reapportionment. See images for details.
Complete in 8 pages, disbound at the left margin, even toning, some archival mends, some edge tears with flaking, and very brittle. Must be handled with extreme care. The newspaper will be shipped within a free clear-front archival folder with page 2 showing on the top. This is the location of both the map showing the reapportionment and the full article on Gerrymandering.
