Abstracts 1727 - 1734
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS & ELECTIONS - United States (Cont'd)
1727 - H&G Aug. 4; ed:2/4 - Morgan L. Martin,-Esq., has been nominated
for Congress in Wisconsin by the newspapers. A state convention is
suggested to make the nomination.
"Local matters appear to supersede general politics in the Territory."
1728 - H&G Aug. 18:2/4 - The name of the Congressman from the 15th
Congressional district, which is comprised of Portage, Medina, Lorain,
and Cuyahoga counties, is J. W. Allen.
This may be valuable for a reference as another political campaign
approaches. (6)
1729 - H&G Aug. 27; ed:2/1 - In Caldwell County, Missouri, the Whig
candidates for Congress received but 2 votes out of 353 polled. The
entire population, with a few exceptions, were followers of Jo Smith,
and obeyed his pretended revelation from Heaven, that all the "Latter
Day Saints" should vote the "Loco-Foco" ticket.
"Jo Smith should have his reward. A sub-treasuryship, or else his
Bank of Kirtland should be made a Deposit bank. Van Buren will
remember him."
1730 - H&G Aug. 27; ed:2/1 - The young Locofoco "irredeemables" on their
return from Newark, made a canal boat nomination of John W. Willey, Esq.,
for Congress from this district.
"Most appropos. A better representative of the shin plaster party
could not be selected." (3)
1731 - H&G Aug. 27; ed: 2/3 - "We are sorry to see that the nomination of
Mr. Pendleton to Congress as the opponent of Dr. Duncan does not unite
the Whigs. The Cincinnati WHIG still advocates the claims of Mr. Guilford,
and seems determined to effect what the editor professes to dread, the
re-election of Duncan, by fomenting discord in the Whig party. As Major
Conover is a mil itary man, he should practice subordination to superiors -
the people." (1)
1732 - H&G Aug. 28; ed:2/2 - "Calvary Morris is the Whig candidate for reelection
to Congress in the 6th District.
"The Loco Focos have nominated Joseph Morris of Monroe county as their
candidate." (1)
1733 - H&G Aug. 28; ed:2/2 - N. Guilford, Esq., has voluntarily withdrawn
his name for Congress in the last Cincinnati papers. Messrs.
Pendleton and Duncan will now have a clear field.
"We rejoice to see the noble disposition manifested by the Whigs of
Ohio, to yield all personal preferences upon the altar of public good."
1734 - H&G Sept. 3; ed:2/3 - The re-nomination of the faithful Representative
of the People, the Hon. John W. Allen, we presume, will not
find a dissenting voice among the Whigs of the District.
