Scarce report relating to a crucial event in Maine history, made to the 59th Legislature of Maine. "The annual election for the year 1879. . . was hotly contested, and the vote thrown was the largest ever given in the State. Party feeling ran high, and the keenest interest was felt in the result.

This report covers a period during his term, when he was involved with the post-Civil War "greenback" controversy that was still a major political issue; he investigated…
