I was looking a bit into that Republican National Convention ticket and found that the printer was Woodward & Tiernan Printing Company (St. Louis). Came upon this Who's Who of the Woodwards that were part of that printing and lithography company.
Found it curious that each of the Woodwards were said to be Democrats and yet they did the tickets for the Republican National Convention. I guess politics and business didn't matter back then:
