Complete four-page issue of the Täglicher Buffalo Demokrat, Buffalo, New York's German-language Democratic daily, published by Brunck & Held at No. 391 Main Street. Saturday, October 1, 1864 — Vol. 27, No. 260. Six columns per page, folio format (approx. 22" x 30" unfolded).

CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:  Election Coverage. The editorial page carries the masthead nomination box "Demokratische National-Nominations," formally endorsing George B. McClellan for President and George H. Pendleton for Vice President — the Democratic "Peace Democrat" ticket that ran against Lincoln in the 1864 election. Below it, the paper lists the New York State Democratic slate headed by gubernatorial candidate Horatio Seymour. An adjoining announcement promotes a "Große McClellan Massen-Versammlung" (Great McClellan Mass Meeting) to be held in Buffalo on Wednesday, October 5th, with torchlight procession and fireworks.

War News. Multiple columns of telegraphic dispatches report on the closing weeks of the Petersburg and Richmond siege operations and troop movements along the James River, with dispatches attributed to Gen. Grant. A featured profile of Gen. Philip Sheridan recounts his rise to command of Union cavalry and his recent Shenandoah Valley victories over Gen. Early. Additional dispatches cover Sherman's army around Atlanta and Chattanooga, plus war-bond news tied to the U.S. 7-30 Loan.

Recruitment & Home Front. An "Achtung Freiwillige!" recruiting notice solicits one- and three-year volunteers under Erie County bounty terms ($400 for one year, $600 for three), alongside notices for a Buffalo recruiting office for the army and navy.

Buffalo Commercial Life. Dense period Buffalo advertising in German — insurance companies (Home, Phönix, Republic, Ætna, Merchants), a German pharmacy, dry-goods houses, a piano manufactory, a "Sacred Concert" at the National Halle, and the "Hoofland's German Bitters" patent-medicine ad.

CONDITION: Expected age toning, foxing, and old fold separations consistent with a hand-folded 1864 large-format newspaper; folds show some splitting at intersections. Legible and complete throughout.   [ss][ph:L]
