Locofoco rebellion roils Ohio Legislature with chaotic session
A storm of factional power struggle in Ohio's General Assembly unfolds as Locofoco and Whig factions clash over seating and organization. Berating tactics, secret gatherings, and improvised oaths fill the State House as both sides claim authority, while threats of a provisional government loom amid protests and public notices from party presses. The chaos extends to the Senate, where a coalition with Free Soil members finally yields a shaky speaker amid accusations of tampering and deceit.
