“…The entire East Side of New York City is in a state of uproar. Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years.” — From The Last President, 1896
1900, or The Last President, by INGERSOLL LOCKWOOD, is a surrealistic 1896 novel, where Americans are protesting a corrupt election process while the president’s hometown of New York City is fearing the collapse of the republic after the transition of presidential power. During 2017, this book, as well as Lockwood’s two children’s books, The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger (1890) and Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey (1893), drew attention due to its uncanny connections with President Trump and his family.
Synopsis: a book about the last president named Bryan Trump – he’s the last president because of a selected group of states who try to steal the election, and apparently succeed — but civil war breaks out when the oppressed citizens of the oligarchy rise up and fight back.
Here’s the link to read the novel:

Lockwood also had a series about a little boy and his dog,,The boy’s name...BARON TRUMP..........
Thank you...
Just read the book. It’s only 48 pages long and sounds very familiar, prescient. Good find,
Cheers, Otter

Page 46 sounds familiar. I read somewhere President plans to visit the House or the Senate on Jan 6th for the vote.
In the book on page 46 the Speaker ask the President to leave. Once the President leaves, they vote him out of office.
The President last name is not mention in the book, just the first name of Bryan. I am guessing the connection is the Baron Trump novels written by the same author.
Yup.
How interesting! Truly.
thanks... I read the pdf version 48 pages.... things haven’t changed and they won’t ... people are people
Will be interesting if the final couple of pages come to pass... it is certainly in the air.
Good find. Thank you.
KEEP THE FAITH!
...the railway trains night and day brought vast crowds of “new men,” politicians of low degree, men out of employment, drunken and disgruntled mechanics, farmer’s sons, to seek their fortunes under the Reign of the People, heelers and hangers-on of ward bosses, old men who had not tasted office for thirty years and more, all inspired by Mr. Bryan’s declaration that “The American people are not in favor of life tenure in the Civil Service, that a permanent office holding class is not in harmony with our institutions, that a fixed term in appointive offices would open the public service to a larger number of citizens, without impairing its efficiency,”
