Thurman Backs Hayes in GOP Nominee Spotlight
In Columbus last week Senator Thurman named Governor Hayes as the leading Republican hopeful for president and the hardest opponent to beat. The salary cut proposal hasn’t slowed the flurry of presidential aspirants as national politics mix with Haiti turmoil, a Massillon miners riot, and Grant unveiling the Lincoln monument in Washington with Frederick Douglass delivering the oration. Ohio wealth per capita runs higher than the national average, and whisky ring convictions draw Judge Treat’s sentences while Centennial costs spark Ledger projections. Minor party debate centers on Indian Bureau transfer, Col. Van Vorhes praised, Hamlin’s postal plan mocked by Utica observers.
