This is a piece of ephemera handed down to me, going back to my GGG Grandfather, J.H. Greene and has his annotation in the margin. It is a small flyer promoting "the Peoples Ticket" for the municipal elections circa 1876, Salt Lake City, Utah. I have contacted the LDS Church to find out more about this.
