Campaign appeals and county newspaper offer in 1867 Vinton County
In July 1867 the MacArthur Chronicle urges voters to support Democratic principles in Vinton County during a campaign. It promotes The Democratic Enquirer at reduced rates to educate voters about the election, especially on racial suffrage issues, and solicits funds across townships. It notes corrections about the Cincinnati Enquirer misprint and mentions local woolen factory prospects near Zaleski and railroad depots, plus Pike County Times nominee for State Senator.
