Democrats Lack DA Candidate in South District Race
The Daily Courier from November 2, 1854 reports the Democratic County Convention declined to nominate a District Attorney, leaving two opposition candidates Bowis Woeecurr and Judge Rusnix. It notes a likely strong Democratic vote for Avarix and announces independent candidate Albert G. Lane. A letter from Oshkosh citizens urges Albert G. Lore to enter Assembly race, with responses from Lore declining in one instance and consenting in another.
