HAYES, Rutherford B. ANNUAL MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, TO THE TWO HOUSES OF CONGRESS AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE THIRD
SESSION OF THE FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Washington: Government Printing
Office, 1880. First Edition. Printed green-gray wraps; 34 pages. SIGNED
on the top margin of the front cover "With my Compliments/R. B. Hayes"
by the President. Hayes covers much ground in this address beginning
with the statement: "Continued opposition to the full and free enjoyment
of the rights of citizenship, conferred upon the colored people by the
recent amendments to the Constitution, still prevails in several of the
late slaveholding States.... It is the desire of the good people of the
whole country that sectionalism as a factor in our politics should
disappear." Hayes also proposes reforming the civil service to eliminate
corruption and expresses his wish to eradicate the evils of Mormon
polygamy in Utah. He discusses foreign relations at some length and
concludes with recommendations specific to Washington including its
water supply, railroad depots, and the completion of the Washington
Monument. Hayes is quite uncommon in signed books and pamphlets and when
found are usually examples from his library rather than his own work.
Inscription a little light, but very clear. There is a vertical crease
down the center of the pamphlet. Very Good. (#017482) $3,500.00
