Governor Election Ballot, National Union Nominations

National Union Nominations – In 1866 Civil War General Ambrose Burnside was first nominated by acclamation at the Republican Convention and elected in April by almost a 3 to 1 margin. He was also elected in 1867 and 1868. Since there is no date on either of these tickets they can be from any of Burnside’s three gubernatorial campaigns. Note the slight difference in the type between the title and list of candidates could indicate these tickets are from different years. 11.7 cm X 8.1 cm
