How Blaine Grew Rich In Office, Anonymous

Maine History Documents

A two page flyer critical of James G. Blaine for having become rich in political office, concluding that "There is no other explanation of Blaine's wealth than the abuse of public office for private gain." The piece suggests that voters should not cast ballots for James G. Blaine for President of the United States. Includes illustrations of Blaine's home in Augusta in 1862 and his mansion in Washington, D.C.
