In eulogy, the Baltimore Sun criticized his early political errors, but nevertheless credited him as "a great mayor, conferring inestimable benefits on the city he governed; not only was he a wise and beneficient governor to the oppressed portion of the citizens of the State, but he was one of the most useful and influential Congressmen this State or city ever had." Large Document Signed as Governor, 1868, appointment of Jacob D. Wolfe to Office of Registration. Also signed by the Sec. of State, John M. Carter [b. 1843]. Approx. 16 x 10.5".
