First Voters' Republican Club of Leslie, Mich.

verso: This is a picture of the "First Voters' Republican Club" of Leslie, taken in the fall of 1896, during the gold and silver campaign. Arthur J. Tuttle, captain of the outfit, is shown at the right, in front, wearing his father's silk wedding hat, gilded for the occasion. The horsemen are facing the Michigan Central Railroad traks [sic] and this picture was taken while they were waiting for the train which was to bring Civil War veterans, including General Alger Captain Tanner and several others. The building shown in the background is the old Allen House, which was an aristocratic country hotel at that time. This picture is greatly valued by Judge Tuttle and the only one he has.
