Slip bearing his signature in black ink
Signature: "Nelson Dingley Jr./Lewiston/Maine", 7x3½. Nelson
Dingley, Jr. (1832-1899), a Republican and the longtime editor of the Lewiston
Journal, was elected Governor of Maine (1874-1876). He was elected to the
US Congress in 1881, serving until his death. During his last term,
described by one observer as "destitute of humor but soundly versed in finance,"
Dingley chaired the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. When the
incoming McKinley administration raised tariffs, reversing the lower tariffs
enacted under President Cleveland, the resulting legislation was known as the
Dingley Tariff (1897). Fine condition.
