Foster's rise and the Ohio political machine Dr. Foster's path and the 1879 Ohio deal
Ex Governor Charles Foster is named to the U S Treasury in a move seen as natural for the Ohio political world. The piece recounts Foster family influence in Fostoria since 1832, his ascent from dry goods to politics, his 1863 State Senate bid, 1870 to 1876 Congress service, and the 1879 Cincinnati caucus teaming with Sherman and Garfield to secure his governorship and Garfield's Senate seat.
