Document 261547
[ABRAHAM LINCOLN and ANDREW JOHNSON].
Original ballot for the "Union Presidential Ticket", 3½x7¼, unsigned. Miami
County, Ohio. Imprinted: "(Election November 8, 1864.)" Black ink on thin
white paper. The ballot has a bust view of Liberty with her helmet of war and a
sword held in her grasp. Stars of the 34 U.S. states (including those that
seceded) are above her head. "Union" is imprinted on the sword. Below her is
printed: "For President,/Abraham Lincoln/of Illinois./For Vice President,/Andrew
Johnson,/of Tennessee." A list of 21 electors is printed below, including
Stanley Matthews, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Garfield
in 1881. An Ohioan who voted for Lincoln and Johnson in Miami County, Ohio on
November 8, 1864 could have placed this paper in the ballot box as his vote. In
the election, Lincoln-Johnson won Ohio's 21 electoral votes and won the election
by 212-21 electoral votes over the Democratic ticket of George B. McClellan and
George H. Pendleton. Mid-horizontal fold. Slightly soiled. Pinhead-size hole at
blank mid-horizontal fold. Lightly creased. Overall, fine condition.
