Thurman split over Ohio idea sparks Democratic doubt
The New York Tribune notes Thurman’s past hard money speeches clash with his Ohio financier stance. Ohio Democrats question his sincerity, asking him to swear on the new idea, while a Hamilton campaign opening praises his zeal as a recent convert. Reports from Portis MovarH show Republicans optimistic about November gains with a 400 to 500 vote margin expected. The piece contrasts Beecher and Ingersoll’s money talks and remarks on religion with no core difference.
