Nomination of Major General Geary for Governor Receives Support
The Union party in Pennsylvania endorses Major General Geary for governor, while noting the party’s past pledges to soldiers and the desire to reward war service. The letter argues Geary’s record from Mexican War to Kansas governance supports a large victory margin and contrasts him with Democratic rivalering. It cites support from generals Hooker, Monde, Grant, and Sherman and calls Geary a loyal hero over a copperhead candidate.
