Pennsylvania Politics - The Campaign of 1900 Speeches of Matthew Stanley Quay. 200 pages plus index.
The volume serves as a primary source documenting the machinations of late-19th and early-20th-century American political machines, compiled directly by one of the era's most notorious party "bosses".
The text chronicles the local and national election cycle of 1900. This critical campaign cemented Republican dominance under the William McKinley-Theodore Roosevelt presidential ticket while Quay fought off progressive anti-machine reformers inside his own state.
Published 1901 by William J Campbell, Philadelphia. Very good condition. Bright cover, firm binding, strong hinges and clean text.
