Sobre este artículo
[np, 1799. 8pp, caption title [as issued]. One folio sheet, folded, with a couple of spine separations. Untrimmed. Light uniform toning. Except as noted, Very Good.
A rare survival from the 1799 contest for Governor of Pennsylvania. Thomas McKean, the Jeffersonian candidate, was Chief Justice of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court and a Signer of the Declaration of Independence; James Ross was the Federalist contender.
McKean "adheres to nothing but what accords with his own interests, nor longer than those interests are subserved by his consistency." Originally a Federalist, McKean had switched parties in 1796. He "has been for above thirty years, a man inconsistent with himself, varying from opinions openly avowed, to the contrary, in repeated instances." From 1765, when McKean shifted positions on the Stamp Act until he perceived that his interests demanded he oppose it, until the present day, McKean has been an unprincipled, self - interested scoundrel.
Nevertheless, McKean won the election.
