Populists of Ohio sever fusion and nominat Coxey for governor
Turbulent Ohio Populists repudiated fusion with Democrats over free silver. Jacob Coxey led a full state ticket with Morris Whitcomb as lieutenant governor plus D. C. Pomeroy as supreme judge and C. A. Reider as attorney general. Delegates clashed over rules, a police platoon restored order, and investigations into bribery were promised. Stephen J. Taylor and Hugo Preyor testified about alleged Hanna money influence. Major Dick and Preyor faced questions. The platform reaffirmed Chicago Democratic principles and called for tariff reform, income tax, and gold silver coinage at 16 to 1, with primary elections not binding for US senator or state legislature candidates.
