ALLEN D. CANDLER and WILLIAM HENRY WADSWORTH
The congressmen from Georgia and Kentucky, respectively, pen their names (one on
front and the other on verso) on this slip of paper
Signatures: “A D Candler/ Gainesville/ Ga” and “W.H. Wadsworth/ Maysville,/ Ky.” Both in
iron gall ink, 7¼x2¾. ALLEN DANIEL CANDLER (1834-1910) was a Georgia politician.
He served both as a congressman and as the 56th Governor of Georgia. Before launching
his political career, Candler fought on the side of the Confederacy during the U.S. Civil
War, losing an eye in Jonesboro. After the war, Candler worked as a farmer. He was active
first in local politics, and then in state politics. Eventually he came to serve in the U.S. House
as part of the 48th Congress. He became governor in 1898. Candler's two terms in office
were marked by decreased spending, but also by blatant racial intolerance that oftentimes
culminated in violence, which Candler did little to assuage. Politician WILLIAM HENRY
WADSWORTH (1821-1893) was a United States Representative from Kentucky, whose
first term coincided with the American Civil War (1861-1865); a Unionist, Wadsworth
served as an aide to General Nelson in the Battle of Ivy Mountain during the war. He also
served as a U.S. commissioner to Mexico for President Grant in 1869 and was elected to
Congress again from 1885-1887. Lightly toned. Corners and edges gently worn. Otherwise,
fine condition.
