“The Southern Question” A View of the Policy and Constitutional Powers of the President - 1877
The question as to whether President Hayes had reneged and acted in opposition to the promises and commitments to the Republican Party that had sponsored his candidacy, in respect to his dealings with the Southern States, is discussed in “The Southern Question” A View of the Policy and Constitutional Powers of the President, as to The Southern States., by J.P. Bishop of the Cleveland Bar.” Quoting from an editorial from the Cleveland Herald, which is included as page 2 of the booklet, “We give in this issue an article by Judge Bishop on the Southern policy of President Hayes which is deserving careful attention. The purpose of the Judge was to meet the objections which have been made to that policy by earnest Republicans who have seen in it an abandonment by the President of the principles of the party which place him in his present position.”
The First Edition copy of the paper, which was printed in 1877 by Fairbanks & Co. of Cleveland, contains eight pages, with paper covers, that measures approximately 6 ½ x 9 ¾ inches. The editorial, The Southern Question, of the Cleveland Herald appears on page 2 and the article by Judge Bishop on pages 3 to 8. The pages are tanned, but the text is clear and easily read. There are markings on the cover related to prior ownership by the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio. The overall condition of the booklet is good.
